Borders and Backgrounds

You can define a solid color background to be used behind some
effects and for the COLOR source. You can also add a colored border
that separates the two sources during a transition.

The Solid Color Background

The background color appears in three places:
• In some transition effects, the two sources fill the entire screen. In other
effects, part of the screen is empty during part of the transition. The empty
area is always filled with the background color.
• The background color can also be used as if it were a source, allowing you
to transition to or from a solid color background. CUT COLOR makes the
background color the CURRENT source. The COLOR source button at the
bottom of the Mixer's front panel selects the background color as the
NEXT source.
• The solid color is also use in Compose mode (Chapter 16).

The border and background colors are shown in the sample color area at
the upper right of the PREVIEW screen. The border and background can be
the same color or they can be different.
