Stills creation

Besides creating movie recordings, Reeltime allows the creation of stills from live or playback signals.

Stills creation#

With dedicated menu items and associated Stream Deck controller actions, you can create stills

  • from the currently selected slot’s viewer signal (live or playback mode),
  • for all armed slots (live mode),
  • or all slots of the currently loaded clip group (playback mode).

The metadata for stills created from live images is generated using the same rules as for recordings. Stills created from a playback inherit the metadata of their source clips.

Stills are represented by a still image symbol in the library, in the slot cards, and in the viewer controls.

Note: Other than movie recordings, newly created stills are not auto-loaded for playback after creation.

Automatic label assignment#

By default, all created stills are automatically assigned the “Reference” label (yellow). You can change this behavior in the “Automatic Label Assignment” of the library settings.
