Transition Effects: Cuts, Fades, Slides, and Wipes
• A cut (D) makes the page appear or disappear instantly, without any
transition. The speed setting doesn't affect a cut.
• A fade (E) causes one page to fade away, then makes the next one fade in.
• In a wipe (F), a line or corner sweeps across the screen. If the wipe is an
Effect In, the moving boundary reveals the new page of titles in its wake. If
it's an Effect Out, the wipe removes the titles. The TitleMaker 2000 in-
cludes 18 wipes. Any of them can be used as an Effect In or an Effect Out.
• A slide or half-scroll (G)causes the entire page of titles to slide on or off the
page.
• The in- and out- transition effects can be different. For instance, you could
have titles fade in, then wipe away. You could have them slide in from the
right, hold for a few seconds, then slide out the bottom.
Slide Notes
• Horizontal slides become jittery (vibrate) when the page contains too
much text or the slide is too fast. To remedy this, reduce the amount of text
on the page, split the text into several sequential pages, slow down the
slide, or use a vertical slide.
Vertical slides (up or down), scrolls, and crawls are smooth at all speeds.
• If the text does not all fit on the page, text may be cut off, depending on
slide direction and position of the text on the page. For instance, if a line
that is wider than the screen, a horizontal slide stops when the text reaches
the edge. Characters that are past the training edge are not displayed. You
can display the missing characters by editing the page so all characters fit
— break the line into two or use a smaller font, size, or style.
Choosing a Transition Effect
Start with the normal Editing Screen and place the cursor on the page you
want to assign effects. Press EFFECTS-IN or EFFECTS-OUT.
Use MARK START to highlight the top sub-menu and use the arrow keys
to highlight the desired effect. In the Effects In menu, the selected effect will
be used to introduce the titles; in the Effects Out menu, it will be used when
the page is removed from the screen.
Setting the Transition Speed
The second sub-menu (A) determines how quickly the effect will occur.
"1" is the slowest speed, "8" is the fastest.
