Videonics PowerScript Working with Transitions and Page Duration
97
2 Click the Trans option on the MAIN MENU , or enter Ctrl+F10 . The TRANSITIONS
menu appears.
3
Specify the type of page duration you want.
Select Infinite Duration to play pages manually or under control of an external GPI
device. When you play the page, it performs its IN transition, then remains on screen
until you press Enter (on the keyboard) or PowerScript receives a GPI trigger. At that
point, the OUT transition occurs, and the next page comes on screen. (Note that when
you use the
Infinite Duration option you cannot animate the page.)
To assign the page a fixed duration, select the Time-Based Duration option, then enter
values in the Seconds and Frames text boxes. When you play the page, it performs its IN
transition, remains on screen for the amount of time you specify, then performs the
OUT transition to end the page sequence.
To use roll or crawl to control the page duration, use the Roll & Crawl Controls . See
“Using Roll and Crawl” on page 99 for details. Also see the Tip at the end of this section.
4
To specify the amount of elapsed time you want for the page to run its IN transition,
enter values in the
Transition IN Duration text boxes. Enter the number of seconds in the
Seconds text box and the number of frames in the Frames text box.
5 Likewise, to specify the amount of elapsed time you want for the page to run its OUT
transition, enter values in the
Transition OUT Duration text boxes.
6 To see the effect of the transition, click the Play button. This plays the currently selected
page on Video OUT.

If you’re satisfied with the transition, click the Save button to save it.
