Using Transition Categories
MXProDV categorizes transitions into five major groups — User, Basic, Edges, Trail-
ing , and Shapes . You can access any category at any time by pressing one of the
Transition Category buttons.
When you press one of the buttons, the content of the Transitions Menu (see “The
Preview Screen” on page 17) changes.
• Press the
TRAILING
button. The Transitions Menu display a completely different
set of transition icons.
• Use the
ARROW
keys to highlight a transition you’d like to see run, then press
OK
.
• Press
PLAY
or use the
T-BAR
to run the transition.
The USER transition category is slightly different from the others. It originally con-
tains a default set of transitions, each of which also exists in the other categories. You
can “tailor” the content of the USER category to your specific needs and preferences.
See “User Transitions Category” on page 65 and “Changing User Transitions Menu”
beginning on page 66 for detailed information.
See Chapter 5, Transitions, to learn more about using transitions.
