Common uses for color include solid colored backgrounds and colored borders
around objects. So, you need to know how to choose colors and identify those
you've chosen.
MXProDV gives each color a unique number ranging from 0 (zero) to 9. The follow-
ing table defines these colors and their code numbers.
Table 3: Default Colors and Numbers
The maximum number of colors in the MXProDV palette is ten. You can change
nine of the ten colors. You cannot change color 0 (black).

Identifying Colors

broadcast of two individuals debating — use the Cut transition (zero).
Roll the input sources.
To run the transition, press
source A becomes the NEXT source, and source B becomes the CURRENT source.
To switch between sources A and B, press

The Color Selector appears in the upper-right cor-
ner of the Preview screen. It indicates colors
selected for the background and borders as well as
border style.
The inner-most rectangle shows a sample of color
assigned to the background as well as the color
number. The border around the rectangle shows
both the current border style and color and their
associated color and style codes.
