Transitions Changing Transition Direction
Changing Transition Direction
Transitions can run in two directions — forward and reverse. If you use the PLAY but-
ton, transitions run, by default, in the forward direction. If you use the T-BAR , moving
it up runs the transition forward; moving it down runs it in reverse. For example, a
simple wipe transition might move a vertical border across the screen from right-to-left
or left-to-right, replacing scene
a with scene b .
Example…
Suppose you’re producing a video showing renovations to a building. Occasionally you want to
go back and show how the building looked originally. When going back in time, use a wipe
transition that moves from left-to-right. When going forward in time (to show the new modifi-
cations), reverse the wipe so that it moves from right-to-left.
Procedure
To reverse a transition:
¨
Press REVERSE .
Remember , all transitions run in reverse until you press REVERSE again. Reverse
has no effect on a simple Cut or Dissolve transition because reversing those tran-
sitions produces no visible result.
MXPro changes the Transition Direction indicator below the transition icon to the cur-
rently selected direction. When the arrow points
right , the transition runs in its normal
direction. When the arrow points left , the transition runs in reverse.
The Reverse function does not change the relationship between the sources. For exam-
ple, a vertical wipe from source A to B moves from the top of the screen to the bottom,
replacing source A with B. If you apply the Reverse function, source B still replaces A,
but the transition wipes from the bottom of the screen to the top.
Note
Mosaic, dissolve, and trailing transitions work in only one direction at all times,
including when you press
FREEZE before running the transition.
Note
You cannot run Trailing-type transitions in a reverse direction. If you select a
Trailing-type transition, then move the
T-BAR from its up or down position, MXPro per-
forms a simple dissolve (transition 160).
