TAKE AND AUTO

As we have seen, clicking the main Take button (keyboard shortcut Enter) performs a straight cut
for all video layers (BKGD, DSK 1, DSK 2, and FTB) that are currently selected in the Transition
Delegate
group.

Likewise, if you press Auto (or the keyboard Spacebar), transitions configured at right for all
delegated video layers are performed.

8.3.3 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 Section 0,

Video Layers):

Figure 130

FTB delegated – show or hide the FTB video layer.

DSK 2 delegated – show or hide the DSK 2 video layer.

DSK 1 delegated – show or hide the DSK 1 video layer.

BKGD delegated – transition between sources selected on the Program
and Preview rows.

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.
