Chapter 2 Videonics MX-Pro User Guide
Using Transition Categories
MXPro categorizes transitions into five major groups — User , Basic , Edges , Trailing ,
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 Pre-
view Screen” on page 11) 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 contains
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. You’ll
learn more about this in later chapters.
