Creating Motion Effects
A motion effect controls the rate at which NewsCutter plays the video
channel and is applied to clips in the Source monitor. When you use a
motion effect to slow down a clip, the effect is real time. When you
speed up a clip, however, you must render the effect. Motion effects
include:
•Freeze Frame
• Variable Speed and Strobe Motion
Creating Freeze Frame Effects
When you create a Freeze Frame effect, NewsCutter creates a new clip
in the Source monitor and in the current bin. The new clip has the
same name as the original clip, but is followed by the letters FF. In
addition, a Motion Effect icon appears next to the clip in the bin.
To create a Freeze Frame effect:
1. Load the frame that you want to freeze into the Source monitor.
2. Choose Freeze Frame from the Clip menu.
A pop-up menu appears.
3. Select or specify the Duration.
4. (Option) Select a Two-Field Freeze Frame parameter. For more
information, see “Creating a Freeze Frame” in the Help index or
the Avid NewsCutter Effects Guide.
5. Select a drive.
6. Click OK.
After NewsCutter creates the new Freeze Frame clip, you can edit the
clip into your sequence.
