This picture frame can be the simple, single color type, or one of many fancy picture frame
effects including roman column, tubular, beveled, computer style, tri-color, and more. These
picture frame effects have the following adjustable controls:
• hard or variable edge softness
• edge width/scaling
• inside/outside edge softness symmetry
• diagonal, horizontal, and vertical corner joint selection
• full control of all three picture frame color generators.
An additional transparent shadow effect can be added behind all Squeeze & Tease WARP
effects using the Dual Border Generator option. This is an ideal tool to work in conjunction
with the picture frame generator built into Squeeze & Tease.
Advanced Planar Controls
The following advanced controls make building the ideal look for your show just that much
easier:
• Front Side/Back Side in one channel and one keyer. When you look at the backside
of an effect, you can have it automatically select a different video signal on the key bus.
This makes it possible, for example, to rotate between 2 channels of still store in an over
the shoulder box in a single keyer, using only 1 channel of S&T WARP.
• Auto Flip. When you rotate an image in normal mode, the backside appears upside
down or mirrored. Turning on Auto Flip ensures that the front side of an image is
always presented. This is great for the manipulation of still store and CG text.
• Internal Key Combiner. Two squeeze backs can be combined and displayed in a
single keyer. This effectively adds yet another keyer to the Synergy MLE.
• Key Combiner Priority Control. Getting the channels the way you want them is easy
with S&T WARP. When two squeeze backs are combined in a single keyer, you can
choose channel one on top, channel two on top, auto-priority, or intersecting planes.
Auto-priority automatically puts the correct channel on top based on their relative
positions in 3D space. With the intersecting planes choice, one channel will literally cut
into another channel hiding the portion that is hidden behind it.
• Easy Slabs and Objects. Squeeze & Tease WARP provides a simple and intuitive user
interface to combine two planes into a slab and then manipulate it as a single object.
S&T WARP deals with the math and you get a great looking slab the way you want it
within seconds.
Warp Effects
Warp effects include page turn, ripple, wave, swirl, melt, twist, slats, splits, sphere, lens,
magnifier, star, heart, old film, shards, corner pinning, lens flare, and many more.
Creative possibilities are endless as S&T WARP effects can be easily combined with
preprocessor, planar transformation, lighting, and picture frame effects!
All of the S&T WARP effects are user modifiable to help you get just the look you want.
Pre-Built Effects, User-Built Timelines, and Key Sequences
Squeeze & Tease WARP wipes are selected in a single action by pressing the WIPE and
DVE SEND button (or DISS, WIPE, and DVE SEND for a key sequence) in the transition
area. Up to 100 wipes can be stored in the system at any time. The pattern area acts as a
