PAGE 10 VIDEONICS TITLEMAKER 3000
Transitions, Durations, Scroll, and Crawl
You can determine how long each page will be displayed (its
duration)
and what
transition
effects
(fade, wipe, etc.) will be used to introduce (begin) and remove (end) the page. You
can also display the current time and/or date or make titles
scroll
or
crawl
on or off the page.
Position the cursor anywhere on a page and use the EFFECTS IN menu to change the page’s
duration, scrolling, speed, and the effect that will introduce the page. Use the Effects Out
menu to choose the effect that will be used to remove the page.
Duration is set using the bottom sub-menu of the Effects In menu. Highlight the digits next
to the clock symbol (on the left-hand side of the menu), and type in the desired time. You
can set infinite duration (displaying the page until you press PLAY again) by highlighting
the infinity symbol. (See Chapter 17.)
Playing the Pages
When the pages are complete, move the cursor to the start of the first page and press PLAY.
Shortcut: To play all the pages in the project, press CMD (Command) + PLAY.
Each page will be
played, in sequence, using the selected durations and effects. To play just some of the
pages, play manually, or use other specialized play options. (See Chapter 20.)

Screen for study. To do this, press CMD (Command) + ACCENT + COPY at the same time
(CMD (Command) + SHIFT + COPY for the international demo) and the unit will create a
new project that contains the demo text. This allows you to see how the demo was created.
