Animation Store effects can do everything that standard wipes can do, but usually also include
embedded full-color animated overlays (hence the moniker) and can even include audio effects.
A useful set of sample Animation Store effects are included with your 3Play, but the real power
of the Animation Store system is that you can quite easily create custom effects using the
supplied Animation Store Creator add-on application. You can employ your own custom graphics,
such as team logos, and more elaborate overlay animations along and embedded audio.
Note: Audio embedded in Animation Store effects is not currently supported for the program-
preview transitions, but can be heard in PLAY LIST effects.
ANIMATION STORE CREATOR
The Animation Store Creator application is launched from 3Play’s Startup>Home page. Complete
documentation for the application can be found using the Help icon (also on the Home page).
Briefly, to create an Animation Store effect, a black and white animated image sequence defines
the transparency. When warping is desired, you prepare this Wipe Sequence animation using a
supplied gradient image to stand in for video imagery.
