Chapter 8 •Chapter 8 • Transitions
The MX-1 Video Mixer includes hundreds of transitions that can
be used to go from one source to another. They range from simple
cuts, dissolves, and wipes to sophisticated zooms, fly-ins, and flips.
Transitions can be executed automatically, at any of ten speeds, or
manually, using the T-bar control.
The Basic Concept
To make a transition from one source to another:
• Start with the CURRENT source. This is the one that is presently on the
OUTPUT screen.
• Choose the NEXT source — the one that will be on the OUTPUT screen
after the transition is complete.
• Choose the desired transition effect.
• Prepare your playback devices (such as VCRs and camcorders) and let
them roll. At the right moment, execute the effect, using the “T-bar” or the
PLAY button.
The key concept is that first you set the transition up, then you execute it.
Nothing happens until you use the PLAY button or T-bar.
You can select the CURRENT source, the NEXT source, and the effect in
any order. You can change them as much as you like before you execute the
effect.
