The resulting .mov file may be sent to the server by FTP, logging in as user “anonymous”
or “ftp”. No password is required. After the transfer completes, the server will render (encode) the
.mov animation sequence into a pair of JPEG-2000 clips (key and fill) that are playable on the
server. This is a somewhat time-consuming process, so it takes place in “background mode”. The
GUI status bar indicates the clip being processed. When finished, the clip name will appear in the
GUI clip list, ready for playback.
Still Frames
A single-frame clip (a “still”) may be inserted into a playlist. The length of a still will appear as
one frame in the clip list. When a still is encountered, the playlist will pause and hold the still
image until a Play command is issued, at which point the playlist will continue to the next clip in
the list. When using the GUI, the space bar (a keyboard shortcut) will also advance the playlist.
Stills may be placed anywhere in a playlist. In fact, a playlist may be entirely composed of stills.
A still frame clip in a playlist can have a duration assigned to it (See page 66 ). It will then
play for that duration and the list will continue automatically.
Stills are created when TARGA files are ingested. (See page 76 for a description of TARGA file
ingest.) It is also possible to create a still frame by editing any clip. When editing the clip, position
the transport on the desired frame and set both the In and Out points to this frame. Save the clip,
or Save As to a new clip name. The selected frame will be displayed when the clip is played in the
Playlist.
