Section  One  - CVI  Description 

This  is  an  introduction  containing  general  information  about 

the  CVI,  its  layout  and  how  to  use  it.  Many  people  skip 
introductions, however there  are  aspects  of  the  CVI  which  are 
unusual,  and  it  is  the  intention  of  this  introductory section  to  give 
an  overall  view  of  these.  So,  read  on! 

Section  Two  - Getting  Started 

The 

Paint  Exercises 

section  works  through  examples  of  some  of 

the  paint effects available.  These  start  with simple  drawing  and 
colour  change,  graduating  to  title  editing  and  cut-and-paste 
operations.  A  CVI  is  required  for  these  exercises. 

The 

Video  Exercises 

section  explains,  with  examples,  some  of 

the  video  effects available.  These  examples  include  image 
colourizing,  freezing,  mirroring  and  disintegration.  A  CVI  and 
video  camera  (or  recorded  video  tape)  input  are  required  a t   this 
stage. 

Presets 

describes  the  characteristics  of  each  Factory  (ROM) 

PRESET,  including  video  and  paint  responses.  This  section  also 
includes  photographs  of  examples  of  presets  and  a  PRESET  Quick

familiarize  him/herself  with  effects,  a  CVI  and  video  input  are 
required. 

Section Three - Paint and  Video  Menus 

Paint  Men us 

gives  a  detailed  description  of  each  of  the  menus 

in  the  PAINT category.  It  contains  all  details  of  digital  painting 

tools.  To  get  the  most  from  your  CVI,  this  section should  be 

worked  through,  after

has  been  read. 

Similarly, 

Video  Menus 

contains  a  detailed  description  of  the 

menus  in  the  live  VIDEO  category.  This  section  should  also  be
