3Play output can employ spectacular high-end transitions,
including Animation Store effects that include full color
embedded overlays, in several ways.
PLAY LIST compositions, such as highlight reels, support
transitions between clips, each with adjustable timing and
even accompanying transitional audio effects. Unlike many
replay systems, 3Play does not tie up two different outputs
to do this.
Further, 3Play even supports a ‘program-preview’, or ‘video switcher’ style workflow. The latter approach
allows you use 3Play’s powerful effects system to transition between the sources displayed on Outputs A
and B (see Chapter 14, Transitions).
In this (program-preview) scenario, Channel B stands in for the traditional program output, while Channel
A serves as preview. This enables some unique production possibilities – such as an Auto between two
PLAY LIST compositions during playback – something often only possible when system architecture
includes a downstream switcher.
2.6.11 TEXT, TAGS AND MORE
Figure 17
A Tags bar is situated at the bottom of the Replay Desktop (Figure 17). Dragging this divider bar upward
reveals tabbed panes containing rows of numbered cells. Text ‘tags’ (e.g., player names, notable play
types, adjectives, etc.) entered into these cells can be quickly inserted into Memo fields for selected clips,
and can even be used as Search criteria.
Figure 18
The Tags module inserts its output into the easily legible Text Box, discussed earlier (Figure 9), just like
other textual input. (All text input is displayed in this box, whether it originates from the number pad on
the Control Surface, or from the keyboard.)
Tip: When the TAG button on the Control Surface is lit, number pad entries are automatically translated
to the corresponding tag entries. For example, in Figure 18, the Tags pane lists player names. Typing
“01” on the pad sends “Jones” to the Text Box. Pressing Enter then pushes this entry into the Memo field
for the selected clip(s).
