Hello all,

I'm looking in the manual to find how to trigger a play for a frame memory clip, and I'm able to find it. There is a create Keyframe button but I'm not too sure to understand how it works,

Thanks

If you have sw v7.21 or later you can make a clip event snapshot, look in the snapshot menu and click on "clip event". Then you can recall the clip from a snapshot, macro or shotbox - your choice. Brian - if you use KF DUR you only change the duration on your marked keyframe and you need to mark every keyframe one by one to change the duration. EFF DUR on the other hand does change the duration of the whole effect direct. mh

The "Create Keyframe" function allows you to take a consecutive sequence of invidual stills and prepare them for playback as a simple clip from one of the FM channels. The default time or duration is 1 second, and appears in the LED 10 key region panel as 1.00... On the effects timeline module, select KF duration and input 1 frame (.01) again on the 10 key region panel and then press enter. The duration of your consecutive frames is now 1 frame each.
A simple clip created from a series of indivual stills is limited to a maximum of 99 frames.
I think you have to assign your FM channel(s) to a USER LEVEL first, and then place this USER LEVEL onto your effect timeline.

Is there another way of recalling a frame memory clip and playing it back
on a timeline without having macros involved?
 
Thanks,
Dave

I usually do this through a macro. Event play, scroll through the devices then FM play, normal.. In order to do a loop, in macro is a FM Loop event.
