Section 10.2 Switcher Transitions

FIGURE 57
As mentioned above, clicking a Switcher button performs the Background layer transition designated by
the Transition mode controls at right (Figure 57). This area shows two transition thumbnail icons.
The first, at left, is labeled Cut. When Cut mode is active, as indicated by a blue border around its icon,
AV-HLC100 immediately cuts to any source you click in the Switcher row. The second icon in the
Transition mode control group represents a more elaborate transition. When this icon is selected (has a
blue border), the transition shown is applied when you make Switcher selections.

10.2.1 Presets

Roll the mouse pointer over this second icon and you will see a gear gadget overlaid on it. Click the gear
to open a transition preset bin that provides quick access to eight different effects (Figure 58).
FIGURE 58
You can click one of the preset icons to select it as the current Transition mode effect, and adjust its
speed using the controls below. Subsequently, clicking a Switcher button will use the transition you chose.
Note that the name of the effect in each of the eight preset slots is shown when the mouse is over its
icon. The first preset is permanently assigned to Fade, for convenience, but the others can each be
replaced by any of the hundreds of transition effects provided on AV-HLC100. To assign a different effect
to a preset slot, click the + sign that appears at upper right above the icon when the mouse pointer is
over it. This opens AV-HLC100's Media Browser (the Media Browser is discussed in Section 11.1.3).

10.2.2 Duration

Transition durations are stored on a 'per slot' basis, using the Slow, Medium, Fast buttons at the bottom
of the preset bin, or using the numeric duration control at right. You can set the speed using this control's
menu, or drag the mouse pointer left or right over the numeric display, or by direct keyboard entry into it.
