The Bluebox World program
6.1 Starting Bluebox World
The Bluebox World program is selected from the
list of transitional effects (“Transitions“) through
the “BB Bluebox World“ entry, and is then
inserted into the storyboard.
After inserting the effect into the storyboard, it
is first necessary to specify the duration of the
effect. Ideally, the two scenes being combined
by Bluebox World are identical in length and are
subjected to the effect throughout the full length
of the scene.
After starting the program via the “Start
program“ switch, the Bluebox World user
window appears on screen.
The effect single-frame preview appears in the
background of the Bluebox world user window.
The first time Bluebox World is started, the right
hand video scene appears first in the storyboard.
Because every change of setting has an effect
on the video image displayed, the single-
frame preview allows the results to be checked
immediately.
6.2 Summary of operating tools
The Bluebox World user window is divided into
three main groups:
• Toolbar (mode, region, alpha, fade, effects,
special ) in the left third of the screen.
• Effect options (settings for effect control) in the
center of the screen.
