Transitions

Transitions decides how the templates of a set go on and off air together. Open the Transitions tab (docked beside Timeline, or from Window → Transitions). Links that used to open Transition Logic, including ?pane=transition-logic, open Transitions.

First run

If the set has no playout yet, Transitions proposes one from the templates:

1. Lanes. Templates that cover much of the same area replace each other in one lane, such as three lower thirds. Templates elsewhere on screen, such as a ticker, get their own lane and can be on air together with it. Rename a lane, or move a template to another lane or a new one.
2. Stays on screen and morphs. Components placed in two or more templates of a lane are checked. They stay on screen and glide to each template's layout instead of fading out and in.
3. House style. A style and a speed for every moment of every lane.

Create playout builds it as one undoable step. Each template's values for an element come from where that template places it, so nothing is typed.
