Perform a Mix Through Video Transition
One common application of a Mix Through Video transition is to add a white flash to
simulate a photographer’s flashbulb. To set up a simple white flash effect do the following:
1 In the ME, Mattes menu, select the ME for the transition (left pane).
2 Select the Base Color data pad (right pane).
3 Set the Brightness to 100% and the Saturation to 0% with either the soft knobs or the
popup keypad to create a white matte. The matte will appear in the Base Color box.
4 Go to the ME, User Trans menu and select the User Trans Mix Through Matte (1-6)
button.
5 In the ME, User Trans menu, select the Full Screen button under ‘Intermediate Video
Appears’ to create a full raster effect.
6 Change the
Initial Mix Ends at to a lower number to sharpen the slope of the mix from
the initial to the intermediate video.
