Basic Operations Using Color Backgrounds
Using Color Backgrounds
Colored backgrounds have many uses. For example, to dissolve to a solid black back-
ground when transitioning out of the CURRENT source, hold the black for a moment or
two, then dissolve from the black background into the NEXT source.
Tip
Use the solid color background to lay down ten seconds of Black at the beginning of your
video.
Transition into and out of solid colored backgrounds basically the same way as transi-
tioning between sources. The difference is that you must select the background color
you want to use before running the transition.
Procedure
To make the selection:
1 Press BG COLOR until the color you want appears in the Color Selector.
2 To immediately cut to the colored background, press CUT/COLOR.
To transition into the colored background, press NEXT/COLOR, then press PLAY
or use the T-BAR to switch to the colored background.
Changing Colors and Styles
Use the BG COLOR, BORDER COLOR, and BORDER STYLE buttons to change colors
and styles. In each case, press the button repeatedly to cycle through all of the avail-
able options for that particular setting.
Procedure
If you already know the color number of the color you want to assign:
1 Press and hold either BG COLOR or BORDER COLOR, depending on which you
want to change.
2 Enter the color number on the numeric keypad. For example, press and hold BG
COLOR, then press 6 to specify bright blue.
