Practical Use of the PR-80
Importing Masks Created on a Computer
Using a network, you can import still pictures created on a computer into the PR-80 as masks (p. 56).
You can make the setting for a mask for a single PR-80 unit. It isn't possible to make the setting on a
project-by-project basis.
Only the specifications shown below are supported as the formats for images that you can import as
masks.
• Alpha-channel PNG Files
The transparent portions set using the alpha channel become the transparent areas of the mask.
For more information, refer to the documentation for your computer and for the video-editing
program you're using on the computer.
1.
Follow the procedure described in “Importing Masks Created on a Computer” (p. 83) to copy
the prepared PNG file to the "MASK" folder on the PR-80.
2.
From the computer, change the name of the file in the "MASK" folder.
The PR-80 can handle up to eight masks, but you can have more than eight PNG files in the "MASK"
folder. When more than eight masks have been saved in the MASK folder, you can use only the upper
eight (when sorted in ascending order) on the PR-80. When the PNG file you want to use is not among
the upper eight, , you will need to change the filename to something higher in the alphabet.
Example:
When the MASK folder contains the ten PNG files in the list at left, you can use the upper eight files
when sorted in ascending order (the files shown in gray) as masks.
We assume no responsibility for deletion of any masks already stored on the PR-80.
To back up the masks already stored on the PR-80, copy the contents of the MASK folder to a
computer.
