In IPEdit, the transition effects follow the principles below:
• Effects can be added on the transitions of the audio and video elements of any
timeline track.
• They can be heard and seen when browsing the timeline.
• A transition effect is always linked to the beginning of the element.
• It is possible to perform transitions from and to mute or blank elements.
• The video and audio transition effects can have a different duration.
• The transition effect will not impact the duration of the element as it is created
beyond the IN or OUT points of the element, using the material available in the
guardbands or on the record train.
• No effect can be defined on an element for which no guardband or record train
is available.
