Chapter 4

Transition effects must be calculated. Creation can be time-

consuming, depending on the effect desired. For this reason

it is possible to preview the effect in a small window. You can

then “batch-render” the effects in the Finish menu (please refer

to chapter 4.8, item (3): “Create”).

(1) The “Transitions” screen shown above displays the sto-

ryboard you are already familiar with. But here, two scenes

instead of one are displayed in the center. You thus see two

time displays in the upper panel. You can now move the

scenes meant for the transition to the middle. A further differ-

ence is the Play button which in this menu only plays the effect

with 1 second before and after, and not the entire storyboard.

If you have not already inserted an effect, clicking on this but-

ton plays the last second of the ﬁrst scene and the ﬁrst second

of the second scene. This enables you to view hard cuts even

between very long scenes. The slider and the arrow buttons

are used in the same way as in the Edit menu.

(2) You can choose the desired transition effect in the effect

list by selecting directly or using the slider. A red ﬂag identi-

ﬁes a demo effect, that is played with a superimposed “demo”

text. To purchase and unlock an effect, contact your Dealer.

The list is already split up once you chose the ﬁrst effect, as

long as that option has been activated in the extended set-

tings. The top part -above the dividing line- contains the

effects that you have already used. This is the favorites list.

It contains the last 10 used effects. You can use this list for

faster access to these effects. Below the line, you can see the

regular effect list. In this menu you can change the settings for

the starting point.

(3) After you have selected an effect that has further options,

the effect options are displayed in the ﬁeld to the right of the

effect list. There you can, for example, deﬁne colors and effect

directions, and other parameters speciﬁc to the individual ef-

fects.

(4) The selection button below the effect list allows you to

switch the effect list to single points. The button offers at least

three settings. The function “All” shows all transition effects

which are to be found in the system. “Default” shows the tran-

sition effects, which are integrated in the system and “Option-

al” only shows the transition effects which have been installed

afterwards. If you have installed additional transition effects,

they are also shown in this list (below the three settings listed

above). Thus it is possible just to see only one effect type in

the list.

(5) Clicking on the “i” button, you’ll get information about the

transition effect activated in the effect list. If it is an add-on

effect, the window “product information” appears, which offers

a description of the effect. Is the effect to be found a standard

effect, the product information refers to the manual.

(6) Use the “Add” button to apply the selected and deﬁned

effect between the scenes in the storyboard middle. The ef-

fect symbol then appears between the two scenes with a red

ﬂag (must be created). The effect duration corresponds to the

duration that was last used. This enables you to insert many

effects with the same duration between different scenes. If you

select an new transition effect although there already is one

between the two scenes, then the new effect replaces the old,

without you having to click again on “Add”.

(7) A click on the “Remove” button removes the added effect

from the storyboard. If you would like to replace the current

effect with another, then you can simply select the new effect

and it automatically replaces the current effect in the story-

board. In this case you don’t have to click on the “Remove”

button.

(8) With this button you

can set the duration of the

effect. This button is enabled after you have inserted an effect

between two scenes. The duration then shown is 1 second

(assuming that neither of the two scenes lasts less than 1

second). Clicking on this button displays a window in which

you use a slider to set the time exactly.

Also provided are the durations 1/2 sec, 1 sec and 2 sec,

which you can click directly, or use the slider to set the dura-

tion to its maximum limit - the length of the shorter of the 2

scenes used. You can set your own values for the three but-

tons with ﬁxed transition lengths. This way, you can set your

own transition durations for quick access.

This is how you can set a new effect length for a button. Set

the desired effect length with the slider. Next, click on the

Save button. It will remain pressed until you have selected one

of the three buttons. This will then transfer the new duration,

which will be available for new effects.

An effect between two normal scenes shortens the total

storyboard length by the running time of the transition ef-

fect. An effect between a normal scene (background) and an

Insert scene (foreground) does not shorten the length of the

storyboard. Transition effects may not overlap. For example,

if a scene is 5 seconds long then the total duration of the two

effects connecting this scene with the previous scene and next
