MXPRODV USER GUIDE CHAPTER 2

• Press the button again until the desired speed appears. 0 is the slowest speed, 9
is the fastest.
• Try this with various speeds: Change the speed and press
PLAY.
Manual Transitions Use the TAKE BAR to run transitions and control their speed and direction.
•
Set up the transition as you would normally. However, instead of pressing PLAY, sim-
ply move the T-BAR.
The transition begins running as soon as you move the
T-BAR. You can even move
back and forth by moving the
T-BAR in different directions. Give it a try!
Using CUT Transitions
Most video productions use simple cuts a majority of the time. To cut between any
two sources (for example, you could cut from A to C to COLOR to D), use the
CUT
buttons.
There’s a quick way to cut back and forth between two sources (such as A to B to A to
B) using just the
PLAY button, instead of having to alternate between two CUT but-
tons:
•
Press 0 to select transition 0, a simple cut.
• Press PLAY again and again.
•
A solid color screen can be used as if it were a separate source. Press the NEXT/COLOR
button and run any transition, or press CUT/COLOR.
Choosing Transitions
The Preview screen contains the Transitions Menu. This menu contains icons and
other information for all MXProDV transitions. A blue highlight indicates the transi-
tion selected for the next transition.
• Select Transitions in the following ways:
ARROW keys – Simply use the arrow keys to highlight the desired transition.
NUMBER keys – MXProDV assigns a unique number to every transition. The num-
ber appears below the transition icon on the PREVIEW screen (in the following
example, the checkerboard transition is number 29). You can use the number to
select a transition. (When you select/highlight a transition in the menu,
MXProDV shows the transition’s speed and direction. At this point, the transi-
tion number is no longer visible.)
•
Enter 106 using the number keys (press 1, then 0, then 6), then press X to highlight
the transition icon.
MXProDV replaces the current Transitions Menu and shows the one that con-
tains the transition you selected.
•
Press PLAY or use the T-BAR to perform transition.
