Crossfade.

[Ebbe]

Using MagicQ to Control PB Player Std.
I want to show a Picture and than blnd over/crossfade to next Picture nicely.
Do i have to use 2 different layers to cross between or can i do it somehow on the same layer so that pandora makes a nice transition to next pic?

Hello,

Transitions are done with two layers. You can use the Transition FX to have fancy blends.

If the pictures should simply run automatically you can also use a Playlist in PB to let the pictures play one after another with a fade.

Ah. But, how does the Transition effect know what layer to blend over to?

[Dennis Kuypers]

Hey,

It doesn't. It is only capable of blending out the layer in a different way.

But then, if starting another layer i gusess i can blen in thatone with same effect and they willl kind of sync??

Hello,

put some media on two layers (1&2). Now apply the Transition FX to Layer 2. From the list, select a Transition and put the "Mix" parameter to max. Now use the opacity fader of layer 2 to fade. You will probably see what I mean just by doing that.

It is pretty straight forward. Just make sure you are not changing the "Mix" parameter when fading. Use the regular opacity of the layer to fade.
