Tip
When you set up a roll for production credits, insert a blank page following the credits page
and set the blank page to infinite duration. This permits the credits to roll once then go to a
blank screen.
Tip
To create a dissolve between pages, set the Transition Out Time for the current page and the
Transition IN Time for the next page to an equal value.
Tip
To create a fade between pages, the Transition Times for the current and next pages must dif-
fer by at least one frame.
