Take, Out, Pause and Continue

Take

Runs the in animation, then enters loop. The layer is on air.

• If the same layer is already on air, Take replays the in-animation from the start. Use this for "bang to refresh" scenarios.
• Multiple layers can be on air at once. Stack order follows the production's layer list.

Out

Runs the out animation. When it finishes, the layer clears.

• Out ignores pause markers — it runs straight to the end.
• If Out is pressed while the in-animation is still running, the in-animation is cancelled and the out-animation starts immediately.

Pause

Freezes the running animation at its current state. Values stop changing; pause markers without a Continue stay on the screen.

Continue

Advances past the current pause marker into the next segment. If there is no next segment, the animation runs to its end.

Common combos

• Take → wait → Out — typical on-air cycle.
• Take → Pause → Continue — reveal in stages.
• Take → Take — restart the in-animation.
