- Usage:
-
- You may use the WF-Operator like any other MovieShop-operator in the
- timeline of a cuttinglist. Inside the operator's window you can define the
- settings for mode, effectgroup, effect and rendermode. To start rendering
- you must have loaded Wildfire previously. That's generally all.
-
- In the timeline, the operator shows the name of the currently used effect
- and effectgroup instead of the operatorname. The operatorname is shown on
- both sides of the operator-gadget.
-
- In the line named "Status" you can see the actual step during
- effectrendering, if the operator- window is opened.
-
- The RenderMode-gadget offers four different options:
-
- Normal:
- The effect will be rendered. To enshure, that you have the
- right effect-session the session-script is loaded with every step.
- This has the advantage,that you can use more than one WF-Operator at the same
- time (UPN-mode) inside the cuttinglist but it will slow down processing.
-
- Reverse:
- Same as Normal, but the effect is rendered reversely. Therefor you have no
- need to generate a new script if you want to invert the effect.
-
- Normal no repeat:
- Same as Normal, but the session-script is loaded only once. This will
- speed up rendering, but you can not use a second WfMS-Operator at the same
- time.
-
- Reverse no repeat:
- Same as Normal no repeat, but the effect is inverted.
-
- With the gadget InputMode you can switch between videosource 1 and
- videosource 2 for rendering, this means you can decide, which of your
- scenes will be effectsource 1 and which effectsource 2. This options is
- only available in Compose modes.
-
- Some effects will take a good while to finish especially if you don't own a
- ppc or a 68060. So please be patient. You can not cancel rendering while
- wildfire is working and sometimes it seems there is nothing going on any
- more. But your computer is doing real hard work for you and you will get a
- real good wedge.
-
-
- The operator knows four different modes:
-
- 1. Single Image
- This mode is used to work on a single videoscene rendering with
- predefined wildfire-session-scripts.
-
- 2. Compose
- In this mode you can combine two videoscenes and render them
- with predefined wildfire-session-scripts.
-
- 3. Current Single
- Basicly the same as Single Image, but the effect is already
- loaded into Wildfire.
- Using this option, you can design and test a new effect of your
- own. Be careful to export your work, because WfMS does not know
- which effect you have been choosen and therefor it is not
- possible to store the effect in MovieShop.
- If you want to use the effect in the future, you must save it
- as a wildfire-movieshop-session and use the Single-Image-option.
- This mode is designed for experienced wildfire-users, who want do
- develop their own video-effects.
-
- 4. Current Compose
- Like Compose, but handling is like Current Single.
-
- The developers of wildfire have already designed a couple of ready-to-use
- effectscripts to demonstrate the power of this synthesis.
- Some effects are in this package, other effect packages can be bought
- seperately for prices between 50 DM and 100 DM.
-
- You can (if you want) produce your own effects, maybe based on the
- exisiting ones. The clear and simple conception of wildfire makes it
- really easy. How to do this is described in the wildfire-documentation.
- All effected programs can run on a normal Amiga as well as on a
- Draco-System.
