Transitions
MXPro contains over 500 transitions from which you can choose. Furthermore, you
can manually control any transition to change the way it works, thereby creating your
own versions of the supplied set.
Transitions artistically switch from one scene to the next in a production. MXPro
transitions range from simple cuts, dissolves, and wipes to sophisticated zooms, fly-ins,
and flips. You can change the speed (either manually or automatically) at which
transitions run, and run them in reverse. Combine these features for many different
variations.
In this chapter you’ll learn about:
• Basic transition concepts – what is a transition and how to use it
• Transition Categories and Menus
• Selecting Sources to use during Transitions
• Selecting Transitions
• Adjusting Transitions
• Running Transitions
Using too many transitions of
varying styles can be like taking a
rollercoaster ride after eating
a nine-course meal —
messy and unpleasant.
