Transitions 3 Chapter

DME Wipe: “Basic Procedure for DME Wipe Settings” (page 466)

Clip transition: “Clip Transition Operations” (page 524)

Using the transition preview function (page 363), you can check the transition on the preview monitor.

7 Carry out the transition in the transition execution section.

For a gradual transition such as a mix (dissolve) or wipe: Press the [AUTO TRANS] button, or operate the fader lever.

To execute a transition by pressing the [AUTO TRANS] button, first set the transition rate (specified as the duration of the transition). (See “Setting the Transition Rate” (page 352).)

When you have selected a wipe or DME wipe as the transition type, you can also set the transition range. (See “Pattern Limit” (page 355).)

For an instantaneous transition: Press the [CUT] button.

For details, see “Executing a Transition” (page 351).

Transition linked to the audio mixer

If the video signal selected in the background B row is linked to the audio mixer in setup, then the audio mixer sound changes with the transition. That is, pressing the [AUTO TRANS] button gives a cross fade, and pressing the [CUT] button gives an instantaneous sound switch.

For details of setup, see “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).

Notes

•The audio mixer is not linked to a snapshot or key frame transition.

•The audio mixer is not linked to a transition using the fader lever.

•If the bus-fixed mode (see page 45) is selected in the setup menu, and the fader lever is in the lowest position, there is a cross fade from the audio selected on the B row to the audio selected on the A row.

•The audio mixer is not linked to a key transition.

•In the following cases, the audio and video may be out of sync.

–When carrying out a cross fade in some DME wipes (for example, “picture in picture”)

–When executing a preset color mix in two-stroke mode

•For details of audio mixers that can be used, Sony service or sales representative.
