rubber stamp effect?

Hi all,

Can someone give me a solution for this effect?

I want to simulate the old rubber stamp. Of course there is a thousand ways to do this but I want to know if I can do this using trails with an MVE 8000 DME. I used to do this with the trails on an ADO and A51....ahh, that takes me back.... I digress!

Here's a basic idea of what I'm trying to achieve. Graphic 1 flies in and stamps on screen, insert dummy kf to take it back out of frame and graphic 2 then stamps on screen, e.t.c e.t.c.

Cheers
Brian

Hi again Brian, I tried doing the effect you need on a MVE-9000 today. As Bob suggests Keyframe Strobe is definitely the answer. Menu page 4154. Put the 'Decay' to 100. Wherever a keyframe exists the DME will stamp, so for a direct fly in of some images, each one being stamped, Keyframe 1 out of screen, path linear, KF 2 in screen at stamp position, path step, KF 3 out of screen, path linear, KF 4 in screen at stamp position, path step, and so on. Frame Memory Composite with NAM will also grab images, but it seems each grab makes the previous grabs drop one line. DME is surely the way to go. Bye for now, Dave.

I think the A-51 (or was it the K-Scope) called it Recursive Freeze. It was part of the target framestore.

Have you tried using KF STROBE? Set the decay to 100 & the image should remain "stamped" as your next KF takes it off screen. Just remember to use this as a keyed effect - the actual DME video output is going to look pretty strange.

Hi Dave, Yeah your suggestion is kinda where I was heading, but unfortunately this does not give me the solution I'm after. I don't want to see any trail as the graphic flies onto screen, all I want to do is stamp it, like the "composite drop" mode on the ADO, can't remember what they called it on the A-51. I think the only solution to this one is to use 2 channels, I just wanted to see if it could be achieved with 1 channel. Chat soon Brian

G'day Brian, Use DME Trail Motion Decay .. setting is 100, meaning it will not decay the image. Menu page on the MVS is 4153. Same method on DME-3000/7000 as well. Must catch up soon, all the best Dave.
