VIDEO TRANSITION GPI
About Video Transition GPIs
The server can trigger an external device that will perform an effect in association
with a video transition. To do this, you need to associate a GPI OUT to the
beginning, and possibly to the end of the video transition.
Typical use is, for example, to hide a wipe effect with an image that would be
superimposed to the timeline during the transition.
How to Define a GPI OUT Linked to a Video Transition
You will define the GPI OUT at the same time you define the video transition
effect.
To associate a GPI OUT to a video transition, proceed as follows:
1. In the Add/Modify Transition Effect window, click the Pane Display icon
to display the left part of the window.
