Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 641)

Most of the parameters of the standard transitions supplied with DVD Studio Pro are
self-explanatory. However, some parameters are not as obvious. This appendix explains
the parameters for each of the transitions. For details on using transitions with menus,
see
Using the Menu Transition Feature . For details on using transitions with tracks, see
Adding Transitions to Still Clips . For details on using transitions with slideshows, see Using
Slideshow Transitions .
This appendix covers the following:
• Transition Duration (p. 641)
• Video Transition (p. 641)
• Alpha Transitions (p. 642)
• Standard Transitions (p. 642)
Transition Duration
All transitions have a duration setting. The duration can be set from a minimum defined
for each transition (usually one second) to a maximum based on the source length or
10 seconds maximum, whichever is smaller. For example, a slide with a duration of 5:00
can have a maximum transition duration of 4:15 because the minimum duration for a
slide is 15 frames. (This is in an NTSC project—in a PAL project, the maximum transition
duration would be 4:13 because the minimum duration for a slide is 12 frames.)
Video Transition
Menus and buttons have an additional transition to choose called Video Transition. With
Video Transition, you choose a video asset to play as the transition when a button is
pressed.
