Creating Trails (over a static image) with the Transform Engine

Use a Still Store input/output and two keyers to create Recursive effects such as trails.
  • In the Still Store Menu, select SS1, then choose “Show Input”. Vision is now live through the Still Store.
  • Select M1A (M/E 1's Primary output) as the input to the Still Store.
  • Key your source via a Transform Engine on Keyer 1.
  • Key SS1 on Keyer 2, and reduce the opacity slightly. This Key will provide the feedback which causes the trail.
  • Put the background still image (from a Picture Box or another Still Store, for example) on the M/E 1 A-Background. As you move the Keyer 1 TE, a decaying trail is created over the background. The amount of opacity on Keyer 2 determines the rate of the decay.
If you used moving vision as the background, the trail would be present, but the background video would become smeared.
