Keep in mind: If you change a setting for an effect that has
already been created, change the duration, or even replace the
effect with another, the effect must then be created again . Be
careful!
(15) Click onto the button Opt . This first menu allows you to
either automatically apply or delete transitions from the current
Storyboard position on . This is where you can determine how
the sound of both scenes has to be treated during the fade .
Should it be mixed in a uniform way, or should it be reduced
during the fade .
It is also possible to influence the speed of the effect while it is
running . To do this, you should go to the Run setting . The uni-
form setting lets the effect run at a uniform speed, if the effect
does not have any other settings . Use “Slow down” to have
the effect slow down at the end of the effect . Use “Speed up”
to have the effect speed up at the end of the effect .
It is also possible to automatically insert or remove several ef-
fects in the storyboard .
Add automatically: This first leads you to a selection where you
can select if you want to automatically insert or remove transi-
tion effects from the current position in the storyboard .
These functions are particularly interesting for slide shows
or still sequences, but they can also help with normal video
projects . Select Add automatically to access the menu listing
your transition effects . You will see that these are the standard
user interface elements required to add effects to the Story-
board . You will see that these are the standard user interface
elements required to add effects to the Storyboard . There’s
the effect list and the selection for effects shown . Also, there
are the effect settings if available for that effect and the ef-
fect length . This menu is special in that it allows you to select
several effects . You can mark single effects with a tick or make
a multiple selection . These effects are then used later, in the
storyboard . Don’t forget to apply any settings for your effects .
As you can select multiple effects, there’s also an option for
choosing the mode for applying the effects in the storyboard .
Choose “Cyclic” to add the effects one after the other to the
Storyboard . Once the last effect is added, the system begins
adding the first effect in the list once again . The “Random”
mode on the other hand, does what it implies: It adds random
effects from your selection to the Storyboard . Remember that
in such a case, sometimes the same effect may be used sev-
eral times in a row .
The effect length is set globally for all effects . You can not
enter a separate length for each effect . Therefore, all effects
added to the Storyboard in this fashion will have the same
length, unless the scene length itself prohibits this . After you
make the selection and make your settings, click onto OK to
confirm . You will be asked once more if you really want to add
these effects, as this will place all transitions in the Storyboard
from this position on . Any transitions already found in the
Storyboard shall be overwritten . Confirm with Yes to add the
effects .
Once you have applied effects to the Storyboard, it must be
possible to delete these effects in just as easily if you are
unhappy with your choice . This is why the menu following the
“Opt” click also contains a delete option . Click onto “Remove
automatically” and confirm with “Yes” .
Tips/Notes:
• The transitions are always added/deleted form the current
Storyboard position on .
• You can have more variety by adding effects automati-
cally and then choosing a point in the Storyboard to add one
or more effect automatically once more . Any effects already
found will be replaced by the new ones .
• If you want to use an effect length longer than the effects
allows for, the effect will automatically be shortened . In such
cases, you may find that a transition can’t be added any more
if a scene is already occupied by another effect .
• The effect selection will be abandoned if you switch to an-
other product display .
