Scene types

Scene types

Scene types will be selected with 6 buttons at the  “Scene effect” region. Herewith you chose how the scene handles frames.

Play image sequence

The selected frames will played one after another (sequentially). Time between all frame switches is the same.

Pause

This scene will not be played. This feature can be used to take individual scenes temporarily out of the show or as a placeholder for an effect programmed later on. Settings and frame selection will not be affected by changes of this type.

(Morph first to last)

M-III morphs the first frame into the last frame. All frames in between will be ignored.

(Morph all)

M-III morphs all selected frames one after another in its sequence.

Scrolling text

A unique feature of the M-III is the possibility to create a simple scrolling text on a time line without having to create a frame for it first. You can type any text into the text area underneath the scene types and select in the next step, whether to have it displayed statically or in motion. You can assign the speed if you want a moving text, too. You can do this either relative to the length of the scene with the slide control (a value of 10 means one time from right to left; a value of -20 means two times from left to right and so on) or absolute (the speed of the text is not changed when the length of the scene is adjusted). If you want a static text, the slide control changes the horizontal positioning of the text.

We have numerous special laser fonts for text available for you but you can use TrueType Fonts installed on your computer as well. Please note that TrueType Fonts are Outline Fonts in principle, which additionally strain the output. If you want to create a lot of text, we recommend using Inline Laser font (i.e. Stick).

Comment

Commentary scenes will be displayed as red on the time line with the commentary text of the text field.
