A-1 A Appendix A — Keyframe Path Contr ol Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls The path that an effect takes between keyframes may be adjusted through the CURVE path type selection from the Keyframe Path Menu. If CURVE is selected, three soft knobs are provided to control the three parameters of the vector. These are labeled: Tension, Continuit[...]

A-2 Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control Path Vectors With respect to the path between keyframes, each keyframe is made up of three vector parameters as shown below. The soft knob controls act on these vector parameters to adjust the path into (entry) and out of (exit) the keyframe. The path through KF2 is parallel with an imaginary line drawn betw[...]

A-3 Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls Tension Control In the example below, the keyframes are at right angles so the ( TENSION) control operates on a 45° line drawn through the keyframe. This line is referred to as the Tension Vector and is parallel to a line drawn between adjacent keyframes (see illustration). The (TENSION) soft knob control[...]

A-4 Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control In Example 2, the (TENSION) control is increased to 1.00, so that the Tension vector is shortened to non-existence through KF2. The path enters and leaves the middle keyframe in a straight line as it takes on an S-Linear motion; decelerating as it enters the middle keyframe and accelerating as it leaves. Exa[...]

A-5 Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls In Example 3, the (TENSION) control has been set to -1.00. This produces an effect of lengthening the Tension vector, causing the path through the middle keyframe to be longer and broader. The longer path will appear to make the image speed up through KF2 as it travels from KF1 to KF3. Example 3 Tension = [...]

A-6 Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control Continuity Control The continuity adjustment determines the angle of the path into and out of the keyframe. It is represented by vectors at 90 degrees to each as shown in Example 4. Example 4 The unmodified path shown above is identical to the unmodified path of the other controls. Continuity = 0.0 KF1 KF2 K[...]

A-7 Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls With continuity set to 1.00, the entry path through the keyframe is pulled to point at the following keyframe or exit path. The effect of 1.00 continuity is that of motion dropping into and then out of the keyframe, similar to a bouncing ball (see Example 5). Example 5 Continuity = 1.00 KF1 KF2 KF3 +1.0 -1[...]

A-8 Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control With continuity set to -1.00, the paths between the keyframes become straight lines, accelerating through the keyframe (see Example 6). Example 6 Continuity = -1.00 KF1 KF2 KF3 +1.0 -1.0 -1.0 +1.0[...]

A-9 Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls Bias Control The (BIAS) control determines whether the path will be “pulled” towards the previous or the following keyframe. With extreme settings, all of the biasing will occur either before or after KF2. With bias set to 0, the curve through the keyframe is gentle as shown in Example 7 below. Example[...]

A-10 Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control With the bias set to 1.00, the path is pulled towards the previous keyframe. Entrance and exit to the keyframe are on a straight line from the previous keyframe (see Example 8), and the path of the effect travels completely through KF2 before turning towards KF3. Example 8 Bias = 1.0 KF1 KF2 KF3 Entry Bias [...]

A-11 Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls With the bias set to -1.00, the path is pulled towards the following keyframe. Entrance and exit to the keyframe are a straight line pointed to the following keyframe (see Example 9). Example 9 Bias = -1.0 KF1 KF2 KF3 Exit Bias Tension Vector + - Bias[...]
