Hint: The frequently-used Fade transition is always available at left. As it has no options and
cannot be replaced, the Configure button is ghosted when Fade is selected in the Transition Bin.
By the way, note that the direction of the Overlay Transitions automatically alternates. That is, if
the first click displays the layer using an effect, the next click removes it using the reverse
transition, and so on (this behavior mimics the Background Transition option call Ping Pong ,
discussed momentarily).

BKGD TRANSITION OPTIONS
Clicking the Configure (gear) button for a Background Transition opens a panel (Figure 135) with
a few added options, as listed below:

Normal invokes default behavior for the transition.

Reverse causes transitions to be performed in the opposite direction. For example, a
transition that normally reveals the incoming video stream from left-to-right will
operate from right-to-left instead.

When Ping Pong is enabled, the Reverse behavior is toggled each time a transition is
performed. Using the previous example, if the last transition progressed from left-to-
right, the next one time you apply the same transition, it will automatically be reversed
(and thus run right-to-left).
