Hint: Hold down Shift while pressing the (CS or onscreen) FTB button to directly initiate
an FTB operation, rather than merely delegating the T-bar to it. As a memory aid , the
FTB button pulses during operation.
T
AKE AND
A
UTO
As we have seen, clicking the main Take button (keyboard shortcut Enter) performs
a straight cut for all video layers that are currently selected in the Transition
Delegate group.
Likewise, if you press Auto (or the keyboard Spacebar), the transitions assigned to
all delegated video layers are performed.
You can halt an Auto operation partway by clicking the button a
second time during the transition. The operation will be
completed the next time you click the button.
Note that there are local (BKGD layer-only) Take and Auto buttons
beneath the Background Transition icon.
T- BAR
The T-bar mimics the similar control on a traditional video
switcher, and allows you to manually perform a transition between delegated video
layers (see the sub-heading Transition Delegates above).
To use the T-bar, pull it downward by dragging it with the mouse pointer. Drag it all
the way to the bottom and release to complete a transition; the T-bar then pops
back to the top.
Hint: Naturally, when the T-bar is dragged part way, a partial transition occurs. With
certain transitions this can be useful for split screen effects.
