additional effects such as DVE and Process effects. After selecting a transition from the Transition List

There are four main types of transitions:
1. Wipe: Switches from one picture to another by moving a geometrical form (circle, line, arrow)
through the screen.
2. Fade: Dissolves a full picture to a black screen (Fade-out), or a black screen to a full picture (Fade-
in). a Cross-fade involves two pictures, one that fades in while the other fades out.
3. Mix: A Wipe or Fade combined with a DVE image. Process Effects are used to define and charac-
terize the DVE content.
4. Cut: One image is switched to another instantaneously.
