Pattern Generator

 
 
 

Creates a clip of a specified solid color, or with a grid or a variety of color bars. The frames can be automatically numbered, and a circle can be animated; these features are useful for testing purposes.

Pattern Generator does not require an input.

Produces an Output (Any).

Pattern

Type

Sets the pattern to be used. Select the required option from the pop-up menu.

Axis
