TRANSITION CONFIGURATION
Select an icon in the Transition Bin, and then click the Configure
(gear) button at right above to configure the transition. The first
time you click Configure, the only entry in the drop-down menu
may be Browse. Selecting it opens a Media Browser to let you
choose a transition (see Section 3.5 for Media Browser details).
The options that appear differ depending on whether you are
configuring a Background Transition (BKGD layer only) or an
Overlay Transition (DSK layers).
Note: BKGD Transitions and Overlay (DSK) Transitions are slightly different. BKGD Transitions have Reverse and
Ping Pong options. Overlay Transitions always Ping Pong, so do not offer direction controls.

TRANSITION TYPES
TriCaster provides two main categories of transitions.
Standard transitions are simpler, mostly 2D effects that
employ transparency and, in some cases, motion, to
accomplish the scene change.
Animation Store transitions have full color animated
overlays built into them, along with individual sounds for
transitioning in and out (transition sounds are optional; also,
audio level control is provided in the Audio Mixer tab).
These special transitions are loaded into Transition Bin slots in the same way as their
standard cousins, using the Browse feature. Numerous Animation Store transitions
are included with TriCaster. With the included Animation Store Creator add-on application, you can generate
custom transitions of your own ('ASC' has its own manual: click the Help icon in Startup to view it).
THE POSITIONER
DSK layers have independent Position settings. Click the button marked with a
double-headed arrow to open the Overlay Position panel. Position settings are
organized into two sections, Position and Scale.
Duration menus appear beside the local Auto buttons. You can make a Duration
selection from the menu, drag the mouse pointer left or right over the numeric
display to set a custom time, or click the numeric field and type a value.
