hi guys it's Gordon at Avolites I am going to show you the basics of how to work with key frame shape
generator which is a really powerful effect engine inside Titan with all of these shapes
and effects generators that we have we can get into them using soft key D this time I'm going
to tackle soft key C key frame shapes key frame shapes pays attention to your group layout so if
you haven't had a look at this with the fixtures that you're using now is a perfect opportunity I
have I know they're happy so I can tap create here key frame shaped generator will give you
full access to everything inside your console so I can grab these fixtures and I can say one of the
things that I'd like in the first frame is these fixtures to be off rather than it working the same
way as putting normal values into the programmer where this attribute would be highlighted and the
entire channel will be highlighted there's just a little blue dot on the left hand side now if I
add a frame you can see that this first playback I have has got the key frame one the dimmer at zero
I would then like to add a frame with the dimmer at a hundred percent for these fixtures so I've put
that up to 100% and I can add a frame as soon as I'm happy with these I can tap soft key G finish
recording frames here on the screen you can see the transition in between frame one which is that
dimmer at zero and frame two which is that dimmer at a hundred percent you can see the fixtures are
also achieving this inside this effect editor window if I wanted to add any more frames or any
more layers or indeed any more key frame shapes I have the same options as inside the pixel mapper
at the bottom of the screen if I tap add I can see that I can add a pixel map effect I can add
a completely new keyframe shape inside this one or I can add a new layer for now I'm just gonna
add a new layer my lights have located again so they're ready for some new instructions here what
I'm going to do is I'm going to tilt these beam lights that I have fully down I've got an add a
frame and then I'm gonna tilt them fully up and I'm gonna add a frame if I tap finish recording
frames now on the screen you will see that the transitions in between the dimmer at zero and the
dimmer at 100 are on the top section of the screen this next layer that I made that is the frame
where I have the lights pointing down and that's the frame where I have the lights pointing up on
any of these frames I can choose this curve icon on the right hand side of it to change whether it
goes from a normal crossfade to an ease start or end is both bounce or snap if I choose this then you
can see that frame 1 to frame 2 here is going to snap so it's going to snap from the dimmer
being up 0 to the dimmer being at a hundred you can see that now when my lights are coming down
the intensity is on and when my lights are going up the intensity is off I can spread this effect
and I can change the direction to pretty much whatever I would like if I put this direction
and this spread on there then the consult is going to work out based on the group layout
how to send this information out do all that hard work for you so now I have this effect going on
as soon as I'm happy with the key frame shape that I have made I can tap record and record
as always by channel fixture or stage and then tap on an available playback if I wanted to edit any
one of these frames for any reason I can tap on this little pencil icon on the frame that
I'm working on here you can see that my lights have gone to that exact position and I have the
option to replace the frame or delete the frame if I'm happy I can tap finish recording frames
as always inside key frame shape generator if I change the direction at this point it will
record that new information for me so you can now see that this key frame shape has changed
look and I can record again job done now if I clear and exit all this information from the
programmer that was the first key frame shape that I made and this is the second key frame
shape I made there's no need to clear and exit and start from scratch every single time you can
carry on working inside the key frame shape generator up until you're happy I could then
combine this with some of the other effects that I already have programmed into my show to create
some really interesting visual looks thanks for watching guys and tune in to the next one
