HC (HARD CUT)
7
A hard cut was designed with two things
in mind, first was the desire to move
images faster, and second was the
ability to create a sharper, harder
image change on the screen. A hard cut
closes the gate of the slide projector
which shuts off the light before the
lamp is turned
OFF. The tray advances
to the next image. That projector is
now ready to be turned
ON again with the
next slide. When HARD
CUTS are used to
make a transition between
2 visuals the
change is much crisper than a CUT. This
can be used to simulate the flicker of
an old time movie when moving through
many visuals rapidly.

DISSOLVES
These cues turn the lamp ON or OFF in
the designated amount of time in
seconds, creating a dissolve or a fade
effect,
e.g. 2D is a 2 second dissolve.
You can create a cross-fade or dissolve
from one visual to another using a
dissolve in conjunction with
2 or more
projectors. Again, the projector with
the down-going lamp will have a tray
advance.
