Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 397)

7 Click the Type pop-up menu to choose a marker type:
• Standard: The default marker for use in Motion
• DVD Menu Loop: When you are using a Motion project as a menu background in
DVD Studio Pro, the DVD menu normally plays through the entire Motion project, then
starts over at the beginning of the project. When a loop point marker is defined, the
DVD menu plays the Motion project to the end the first time through, then starts over
at the loop point marker for subsequent loops.
• DVD Alpha Transition: When you are using a Motion project as an alpha transition in
DVD Studio Pro, this marker sets the point where the alpha value of the transition (the
Motion project) becomes 0. When a Motion project is used as a transition, only its alpha
channel is used when blending two pieces of video in DVD Studio Pro.
