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
-
