Chapter 1  Applying Effects to Video and Sound

This chapter describes how to apply effects to video, give changes to transition, and perform various types of keying and title insertion as well as explaining audio mixing.

Setting of Video Switching and Combining Effects

This section describes the method of selecting and processing a pattern used for video switching.

Setting the Transition (Wipe)

Pattern [TRANSITION]

The [TRANSITION] menu is used to process a pattern used for transition wipe.

This menu appears when one of No. 1 to No. 1550 patterns is selected.

For pattern numbers, refer to “List of Transition Patterns” at the back of Volume 2.

For selecting patterns, refer to “To select a pattern” (page Vol.1-35).

[MODIFY]

Settings can be made only for the basic patterns (the patterns shown as “Basic” in “List of Transition Patterns” at the back of this document) and their related patterns.
