      The DVE key can be sized and positioned in 2-dimensional (2D) space to create an over the shoulder box (OTS) or other video effects.
    - To Apply a DVE to a Key (Fly Key)
      Applying DVE effects to an existing key allows you to size and position an existing key in 2D space. Unlike the DVE key that uses the full raster image, you can fly an auto select key to create a bug or animated logo for branding.

  Once programmed, a custom control (CC) can be played back by pressing a button. The custom control can be as simple as triggering an output GPI pulse, or as complex as recalling a specific memory register on an ME, performing a switcher transition, and selecting a group of keys.

To Apply a Border to a DVE Key

A border can be placed around the outside of the DVE key to give a framing effect or soften the edges of the key.

Click Navigation Menu > Live Assist > Canvas and select the MultiScreen and key that you want to set up.

Tip: You can use the same procedure for a MiniME™.
Click DVE Keys.
Use the Size slider in the Border area to turn on the border and adjust the size of the border around the key.
Use the Softness slider to adjust the softness of the border.
Select a default or custom color for the border.

Note: Only a DVE Key can have a custom border color.
- Default — click one of the preset colors.
- Custom — click the arrow to the right of the Border Color area and use the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness sliders to select your own color. Click OK to apply the color or Live to apply it in real-time.
