purposes. Click the configuration button (gear) beside the

The largest part of this panel contains transition bins for custom

In

and

Out

transitions which will be used to

display the current clip. Select

Custom

from the

Transition In/Out

menus to activate these bins. Otherwise,

you can select

Cut

or

Current

options.

Note that the bin content displayed is synced with the

Background

transition bin for the target video bus, be

it

PGM

M/E

. Selecting

Current

uses the current selection in the

Background

transition bin of

the target bus.

Hint: Unlike o

ther transition bins, these icons do not show a “+” sign gadget on rolling the mouse over them.

To replace the effect in slot, modify the content of the Background transition bin of the target you have selected
for SHOW ON.
