Style -- Selects the style of the stop-action effect. Stop-Action shows a 'classic' stop-action look -- frozen frames appearing periodically. Freeze Behind shows stop-action frames
that dissolve behind the video action, much like a progressive "echo" look. Freeze Ahead creates the inverse effect: video action plays into a frozen frame that appears ahead.
Blend -- Controls the blending that occurs between full-strength frozen frames. Standard produces a traditional dissolve. Darken accents dark object area; Lighten accents light object areas.
Tempo -- Sets how often a frozen frame will appear -- in number of frames. A maximum value of 30, for example, means that a full-strength frozen frame will appear once per second in a 30 frames-per-second clip.
Hardness --Determines
the strength of StepTime's dissolve between full-strength frames. From 0% to 100% is
possible. Low values retain the dissolve. 100% creates a "hard" look -- only full-strength
frames appear with nothing shown between.
Source -- Higher values show
more of the source video blended with the effect, thus this is another way to moderate the effect's visual strength.
