Hint: The direction of Transitions applied as DSK (and M/E KEY) layer effects automatically alternates. If the
first click displays the layer using an effect, the next click removes it using the reverse effect. This
‘ Ping Pong ’
behavior is optional for BKGD (Background) layer transitions.
A NIMATION S TORE T RANSITIONS
You can also choose special transition effects called Animation Stores . These powerful effects normally
include an embedded full color animated overlay, along with sounds for transitioning in and out (the audio
level for
Effects is controlled in the Audio M ixer tab below the Switcher ).
These special Animation Store transitions are loaded into the Transition Palette in the same way as their less
colorful cousins, using the Browse feature. A number of Animation Store transitions are supplied, but you
can generate your own using the supplied Animation Store Creator application and custom animation content
you have access to or create using art software.
Note: The Animation Store Creator application is covered in its own manual, which can be opened from the
Help menu on the Home page in TriCaster
’s Launch Screen .
DSK S OURCE C ONFIGURATION
Many more configuration options are available for DSK s (and their siblings, M/E key
layers, too).
To access these settings and features, roll the mouse pointer over the DSK viewport,
and click the configuration (gear) gadget that appears at lower right (Figure 110).
Hint: Touchscreen users can ‘two - finger tap’ the viewport to open the Configuration panel.
Doing so will open the Input Configuration panel for the source assigned to the DSK , but with the addition of
a supplemental tab labeled DSK (1-4).
The control groups in this new tab expand to reveal Position , Use Source Tracker and Borders, Edges and
Shadows settings.
