Let’s consider the individual DSK Layer Controls first.

9.3.1 DSK CONTROLS

Pressing the local Take button for any DSK displays or hides the

corresponding video layer (shown on top of the BKGD layer).

The local Auto buttons perform similarly, but apply the currently
selected transition - that is, the effect represented by the

thumbnail icon shown.

Hint: You can halt an Auto operation partway by clicking the button
again during the transition. For DSK (and M/E KEY layer) transitions,
if the effect has progressed more than halfway when halted, clicking
Auto again will complete it. Otherwise it is reversed, returning the
layer to its prior display state.

RANSITIONS

Each DSK has its own transition effect, applied when you click Auto. Click the
transition icon for any DSK control area to reveal a palette of different transitions
