Phil Cane Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 In 4.2, do we still have the ability to turn off edge blending below a specified layer? I can't seem to find it in ver 4.2. Thanks, Phil Cane 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find it in ver 4.2. Thanks, Phil Cane The edge blend line went away with the introduction of stage tiers in 4.0.Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, there maybe a way to achieve an equivalent using the stage tiers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredrik Svahnberg Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Jim Kellner is usually always right on the money. Bt this time around I wonder if he did not get it wrong.... You still have the "Above Edge-blend" in v5. It is now located in the Aux timeline settings.

Best regards, Fredrik Svahnberg Dataton Right, that was the distorted major use of the old feature, thanks for correcting me ;-) As I recall, it's original v1 purpose was to display a media object that entered the blend area only if it were in the non-blended areas too. It would not display at all / disappear when the object was only in the blend area. Useful if you have a capture card in less than all of the displays, as you can prevent the error that would occur if the live input touched a display without a capture in just its blend area. Was kind of the pre-cursor of pre-split proxy too as I recall, as the same would apply to movie files, if a movie from an adjacent screen entered a blend area but not the non-blended area, it would not play on the adjacent machine. Either of those old tricks would require tiers to pull off ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredrik Svahnberg Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 No, either of those tricks can be achieved with an Aux Timeline set to “Above Edge-blend”. Best regards, Fredrik Svahnberg Dataton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 There is also a little trick that one can use, if you need to turn off edge-blending on some Displays, but not others. Put one of the Displays in an overlap on a Tiered layer, there is no edge-blending between Tiers... There are some limitations to this though, there are only 10 possible Tiers in WATCHOUT 4, 20 Tiers in WATCHOUT 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Stratton Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hi all-just to add to this thread I need to turn off the blend globally for all layers in V5. But try as I might I cannot find how to? Thanks Neil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner Michael Posted September 13, 2011 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Neil, What about setting the edge blend curve to 0? (if I got you right???) Michael H Digital AV 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Stratton Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Ah Michael that's it! Excuse me while I slap myself soundly! For anyone following set the opacity of both points in the Edge Blend to 0%. Thanks Michael! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
