Using Color Backgrounds
Colored backgrounds have many uses. For example, to dissolve to a solid black back-
ground when transitioning out of the CURRENT source, hold the black for a moment
or two, then dissolve from the black background into the NEXT source.
TIP
Use the solid color background to lay down ten seconds of black at the beginning of your
video.
Transition into and out of solid colored backgrounds basically the same way as tran-
sitioning between sources. The difference is that you must select the background
color you want to use before running the transition.
To make the selection:
1 Press
BG COLOR
until the color you want appears in the Color Selector.
2 To immediately cut to the colored background, press
CUT
/
COLOR
.
To transition into the colored background, press
NEXT
/
COLOR
, then press
PLAY
or use
the
T-BAR
to switch to the colored background.
Changing Colors and Styles
Use the
BG COLOR
,
BORDER COLOR
, and
BORDER STYLE
buttons to change colors and styles.
In each case, press the button repeatedly to cycle through all of the available options
for that particular setting.
If you already know the color number of the color you want to assign:
1 Press and hold either
BG COLOR
or
BORDER COLOR
, depending on which you want to
change.
2 Enter the color number on the numeric keypad. For example, press and hold
BG
COLOR
, then press 6 to specify bright blue.
Creating Custom Colors
You can change any color other than color 0 (black) (see Table 3 on page 53) to create
custom colors. You cannot add more colors, but you can change the existing ones.
Once you create a custom color, it stays permanently in the MXProDV unit until and
unless you change it again.
BG COLOR
and
BORDER COLOR
share the color palette. Therefore, changing any color
affects both the background and border colors.
