Multiple Channels
Select both channels when you want to give the same command to both channels at the same time.
Both channels can be selected when using any of the 3D tools such as crop, position, or rotation. If the
channels selected have different values, for example, different positions in 3D space, the menu will
indicate that the values are different and no position, rotation or cropping coordinates will be
displayed. The menu will show the position of both channels in the 3D viewable field.
Selecting multiple channels is particularly useful if you want to move or rotate both Keyframes at the
same rate. Each Keyframe will rotate around the pivot point you have selected for that channel.
Conclusion
The rest of this chapter deals with the operation of the Squeeze & Tease MD system. Now that you
understand the basic concepts of how the system works, the best way to learn how to create specific
effects is with some hands-on practice to get a “feel” for the system. Use the positioner to try different
channel placements and experiment by changing the pivot point and rotation values. In the end, your
knowledge of position and rotation coordinates will help you manipulate your channels creatively and
accurately for repeatable results.
Note Keep in mind that adjusting position, rotation or cropping values will
adjust each channel based on its current state.
