Understanding Transition Types
NewsEdit has five types of transitions—dissolves, wipes, SMPTE wipes,
pushes, and slides. In addition, NewsEdit XT has a page curl transition.
To read a description of each transition, double-click its effect icon in the
Transition Tool.
Dissolves
A dissolve fades the existing image as the new image becomes visible in its
place. You cannot specify the direction or kind of dissolve.
You can create fades using the Dissolve transition. A fade is the gradual
appearance a a new picture from black (fade-in) or the gradual disappearance
of a picture to black (fade-out).
To gradually fade the video in, place a dissolve transition at the beginning of a
sequence. To fade the video off the screen, place a dissolve transition at the end
of the sequence.
