Functions
DME wipe
Using a DME effect, it is possible to obtain a transition to a new image from the current image, as in a wipe. You can also use this transition type as an independent key transition.
For details, see “DME Wipes” (page 68) and Chapter 6 “DME Wipes” (page 331).
Note
To carry out DME wipes requires the
Cut
A cut switches instantaneously from the current video to the new video. When the next transition is a key transition, the key cuts in or out instantaneously.
Executing a Transition
There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto transition by button operation or a manual transition using the fader lever.
It is also possible to combine both methods, taking control with the fader lever of an auto transition which has partly completed, or complete a transition started with the fader lever as an auto transition.
By combining common transitions with independent key transitions, different transition types can be applied to the background and keys, for example allowing a key wipe combined with a background dissolve. (See “Executing a Transition” (page 235).)
Auto transitions
Cut
A cut switches instantaneously from the current video to the new video. When the next transition is a key transition, the key cuts in or out instantaneously.
Auto transition
The transition from the current video to the new video is carried out automatically at a constant rate, using the transition effect selected as the transition type.
You can set the transition rate in advance. (See “Setting the Transition Rate” (page 236).)
