List
Terms and Abbrevia-
tions
(A): The CURRENT source (the one on the screen
before the transition begins).
(B): The NEXT source (the one on the screen after
the transition is complete).
Dissolve: One image fades away as another fades
in.
Wipe: A wipe is a simple window or boundary that
reveals the underlying video. The video image nei-
ther moves nor changes size.
Slide: A slide leaves the video full size but the
picture moves with the transition.
Comp., Exp.: (Compress,Expand): The video is
resized to fit in the window — generally the entire
picture will be scaled to fill the window.
H, V: (Horizontal, Vertical): These refer to the di-
rection the transition moves. For example, a V wipe
is a horizontal line that moves vertically up or
down the screen. When the effect runs in the for-
ward (non-reversed) direction, vertical transitions
move down the screen and horizontal transitions
move from left to right, unless otherwise indicated.
CW: Clockwise • CCW: Counter clockwise
L: Left • R: Right • Ctr: Center • T: Top • B:
Bottom
TLC: Top Left Corner • TRC: Top Right Corner •
BLC: Bottom Left Corner • BRC: Bottom Right
Corner
“;” divides multi-step transitions. “/” indicates
two actions that occur at once.
* Transitions with * always use fixed direction
when performed from frozen picture. They are not
affected by REVERSE button.
# Transitions with # operate differently when per-
formed from a frozen picture. Simpler effects are
automatically substituted.
“Top 30” Effects
The “Top 30” symbols, numbers 0-29, are the
ones that appear on the PREVIEW screen when you
first turn the Mixer on. They represent 30 com-
monly used effects. They are duplicated elsewhere
in the effects list, near related effects. The “=”
column shows the effect’s other location.
