Using Transition Categories

Other Features

MXPro categorizes transitions into five major groups — User, Basic, Edges, Trailing,
and Shapes. You can access any category at any time by pressing one of the Transition
Category buttons.
USER BASIC EDGES
When you press one of the buttons, the content of the Transitions Menu (see "The Pre-
view Screen" on page 11) changes.
¨ Press the TRAILING button. The Transitions Menu display a completely different set
of transition icons.
¨ Use the ARROW keys to highlight a transition you'd like to see run, then press OK.
¨ Press PLAY or use the T-BAR to run the transition.
The USER transition category is slightly different from the others. It originally contains
a default set of transitions, each of which also exists in the other categories. You can
"tailor" the content of the USER category to your specific needs and preferences. You'll
learn more about this in later chapters.
Refer to the rest of this User Guide to learn about the many additional MXPro features,
including:
¨ Using the DISPLAY button to change the content of the Preview screen.
¨ Freeze the picture.
¨ Separately control the sound.
¨ Apply input effects, such as mosaic, paint (posterization), negative, and more.
¨ Use chroma key to combine parts of one picture with parts of another.
¨ Compose your own pictures, made up of several stills, color rectangles, and a mov-
ing picture.
¨ Rearrange the inputs so A, B, C, and D, and their audio channels come from differ-
ent rear panel jacks.
¨ Memorize a sequence of transitions and play them back.
