ORKING WITH RANSITIONS AND
A Transition is a special effect (such as a dissolve or a wipe) that occurs when PowerScript
displays a page on the screen. Transitions are particularly useful when a project contains
multiple pages, although you can apply them to a single page.
Page Duration determines the length of time that a page remains on the screen once it is
displayed. You can control page duration programmatically, manually, or using GPI. This
section explains how to use programmed and manual durations. For information about
controlling duration using GPI, see "Working with GPI, Time Triggers, and Auto-Start" on
page 115.
The following illustration shows the relationship between transitions and page duration.

Transitions and Page Duration

You can apply a transition when the page comes on-screen (Transition IN) as well as
when the page leaves the screen (Transition OUT). You can also specify the length and
speed of the transition as well as the effect (wipe, slide, fade, and so forth).
To specify a page duration:

Note
When PowerScript displays a page, it must first create the page in its memory banks.
For most pages, this occurs within a few seconds. Some pages, such as those contain-
ing graphics or complex or numerous objects, might take longer. When a project
contains multiple, sequential pages, PowerScript holds the current page on the screen
until the next page is created and ready to enter the stage. When quick page creation
and display is required for the project, avoid using complex pages and rapid page
transitions, or pre-render the page (see "Pre-Rendering Pages" on page 108).
