If you click on the "Save Image” button, the “Product” selec-
tion will change to “Custom Images” and the “Type” selection
will change to “Images”. The system will also ask you to select
an entry. Confirm this notification with “Ok” and select a free
(black) image from the list. Then click on “Save Image” again
to open the scene bin so you can select the starting frame of a
scene that you want from the bin. After you confirm with “Ok”
it appears in the image collection and in a large preview (right).
You can store a total of 18 of your own images here, which you
can later use anywhere in your video editing work.
Tip: You can‘t delete your own pictures, but you can replace
them anytime with new ones!
You can of course also readjust the “Product” selection and
“Type” selection manually before saving a picture.
All patterns can also be used as texture for fonts in the
Titling menu.
In the list to the left you can select the desired mask, which is
then displayed to the right in large format. In the top left corner
of this preview window, you can see if the footage is actually
available in HDV quality. You can also see the names of the
selected mask above and to the right.
Below this window you find several buttons:
The “Colorize“ button allows you to colorize all patterns - even
colored ones.
If you click onto the “Colorize” button, a menu with several
buttons will appear. Use “Mode” to select how many colors
are to be used. This will then lead to the respective amount of
palette buttons appearing.
Your coloring will be displayed in the preview window.
Original: There is no coloring and the pattern remains in its
original color or monochrome. Additionally, you can use this
function to return to the original color of the pattern.
1 Color: The pattern brightness remains; yet one color is
added according to the color you choose in “Color 1”. The
brightness chosen in the color box is ignored as this is con-
trolled by the monochrome part of the pattern.
2 Colors: You can create a shift from one color to another.
"Color 1" is added in the parts used by the monochrome
image. "Color 3" replaces white. Depending on the pattern,
instead of the black and white parts, the most bright and dark
parts of the pattern are used. Between the two colors, all
previously monochrome tones are replaced by the respective
color tones and a soft color shift is created.
3 Colors: In comparison with the shift between two colors, a
third color is added: “Color 2”. This color replaces the gray tone
found in the middle of the original monochrome shift. The result
is a shift from Color 1 to Color 2 and from there, to Color 3.
Tint: This mode is only provided for color masks. If you select
this function, the "Color 1” button is activated, which you
should then click. Specify a color and confirm with “Ok”. All
the colors of the mask are then replaced by the one you se-
lected. The entire picture is then filled with one shade of color,
though the saturation and brightness are retained.
Hue: This option is likewise only provided for color masks.
If you click on this button, the system first of all determines
which is the dominant color in the mask and then displays it as
“Color 1”. You cannot select this button. Now click on “Color
2” and use the upper palette arrow to select any color shade
that you want to replace the dominant color with. All the colors
in this mask are thus replaced with a new one, whereby the
distance in the color palette between the original and replace-
ment color is equal to the distance between the dominant
color and Color 2.
Hue 2: This option functions in a similar way to “Hue”, and
is therefore only displayed for colored masks. Though in this
case you can freely select the color that is to be replaced by
capturing it from the image (see Color box).
You can customize the settings for your mask still further by
using the “Brightness”, “Contrast” and “Color” buttons that are
located in the bottom area of the window.
For simple, soft shifts, it is recommended that you use the
“Linear H” (horizontal shift), “Linear V” (vertical shift) and “Li-
near D” (diagonal shift). The direction of the color shift can be
altered using the “Mode” button.
The little box next to the "Colorize” button can be used to
activate or deactivate the colorization of the pattern displayed
in the upper preview window. If a dash appears in the little
box, you can see the original color. If a check mark is shown,
you can see the pattern with the colorization that you set. You
do not have to activate the check mark in order to colorize a
pattern – all you need do is click on the “Colorize” button!
With "Mode" you can choose from eight different positive and
negative inverses.
