When creating a Visual
Effects and Finishing timeline for use in Lustre, please note
the following:
Multi-Layer
Timelines: Wiretap exposes multi-layer timelines as a
single “flattened” layer. There is no need to
hard-commit the timeline or merge its layers explicitly.
Soft
Effects: All soft effects and transitions must be processed
prior to importing the timeline into Lustre.
Supported
Timeline Elements: Colour sources, timeline gaps, dissolve
transitions, and fade-ins and fade-outs are supported in Lustre.
Dissolves:
These are regenerated in Lustre, but only with linear animation.
If a dissolve from a Visual Effects and Finishing application has
a different type of curve, or keyframes, this data will not be read
in Lustre.
Unsupported
Transition Types: Wipe and Axis transitions are unsupported.
These are presented as single shots in Lustre.
Focus
Point and Saving: In a Visual Effects and Finishing application
timeline, the positioner's focus point indicates the layer of interest
for edits and other operations. It also determines what appears
when you import the timeline into Lustre. When saving the timeline
for use in Lustre, ensure the focus point is on the top-most
layer you want included in the Lustre timeline. For example,
if the Visual Effects and Finishing timeline contains four layers
and the focus point is on the third layer when it is saved, only
three layers are included in the Lustre timeline.
