Basic Transitions Category
This category includes common transitions, such as wipes and dissolves. The transi-
tions in this category are color coded White. See page 132 for samples of the icons in
this category.
MX-1 Compatibility If you are upgrading to MXPro from the Videonics MX-1 Video Mixer, the transitions in
the Basic category are the same as the MX-1.
MXPro provides a set of hot keys that directly correspond to the MX-1 Effect buttons.
Using the hot keys (in the following table) causes the MXPro Preview screen cursor to
appear at the beginning of each section within the Basic (MX-1) category.
Edges Transitions Category
These transitions move a curved or jagged edge across the screen when transitioning to
a different picture source. Transitions in this category are color coded Blue. See
page 137 for samples.
Trailing Transitions Category
The transitions in this category leave a trail of images on the screen as a change
occurs. The trailing images go away once the transition finishes. Transitions in this cat-
egory are color coded Yellow. See page 138 for samples.
Shapes Transitions Category
These transitions occur as a wipe in the shape of a geometric object, such as a heart, a
five-pointed star, a circle, and so forth. Transitions are color coded Red. See page 139
for samples.
User Transitions Category
It’s unlikely you’ll use all of the available transitions — but it is likely that you’ll have a
limited set you use most of the time. With this in mind, MXPro makes it easy for you to
access your favorite transitions by creating your own personal menu — the User menu.
MXPro comes with a default set, but you can add and remove them to tailor the User
menu to your preferences and needs.
