About transitions

Transitions move the scene from preview to program. There are two types of transitions:

• Cut transitions, where the transition is instant.
• Animated transitions, where the transition animations and layer movements are played over a defined period of time. For more information on how to configure layer movement, see “Applying a move animation”.

How to cut transition

Cut transitions are executed on all selected destinations from the top panel or destination group from the bottom panel the moment the button CUT in the right panel (Image 7–151) or the button Cut in the bottom panel (Image 7–152) is clicked.

How to transition with crossfade

1. Select the desired destinations from the top panel or layout group from the bottom panel.

2. Enter the time interval in frames in the right panel (Image 7–153) or the bottom panel (Image 7–154) using the one of the following methods:

   • Entering a value: enter any desired value between 0 and 1999 in the input field.
   • Using the + and - buttons: click on the + to increase the value with one point and on the - to decrease the value with one point.
   

   Note: All steps must be done in the same panel. If one step is done in the right panel, then all following steps must also be done in the right panel.
   

   Tip: By default the crossfade will take 30 frames.

   

   

3. Select the crossfade style from the drop down in the right panel (Image 7–155) or the bottom panel (Image 7–156).

   

   

4. Click the ALL TRANS button (Image 7–157) in the right panel or the Trans button (Image 7–158) in the bottom panel.

   

   

   All armed animations and the crossfade will play and the preview scene will be shown on program.
