To use single-field step:
1. Click the Step Forward One Field or Step Backward One Field
button, which are available on the Move tab of the Command pal-
ette and can be mapped to any tool palette.
A number 2 displays in the upper right corner of the monitor to
indicate you are parked on field 2 of a frame. (The absence of the
number 2 indicates you are parked on field 1 of the frame.) Subse-
quent single-frame steps will be based on this field.
2. Continue to click the Step Forward One Field or Step Backward
One Field button to view each field of a frame.
c
To return to viewing only field 1 of each frame, make sure you park
on field 1 of a frame before using the Step Forward or Step Back-
ward buttons.
n
Any edits you make using the paint tools affect both field 1 and field 2 of each
frame.
Using the Keyboard
The default keyboard contains all of the buttons mentioned, except the
single-field step buttons. You can move and replace buttons on the
keyboard or map menu commands by using the Command palette, as
described in “Using the Command Palette” on page 128
.
To view your keyboard settings, choose Keyboard from the Settings
scroll list in the Project window.
n
The keyboard settings vary depending on the type of keyboard attached to
your Avid system. Figure 9-2
shows the keyboard settings for a keyboard
used in the United States. If an Avid-supported European keyboard is
attached to your Avid system, then the keyboard settings will match that
keyboard.
