Switch Points
If your transition does not require the start and end frame video to be on the screen at
the same time, you can add a switch point marker to the asset movie to control when
the transition switches from showing the start frame to showing the end frame. If you
do want to have both the start and end frame video on the screen at the same time, you
must use a background matte movie (described in
Background Matte Movie
).
If the transition asset folder does not contain a background matte movie, DVD Studio Pro
does the following to set the switch point:
• DVD Studio Pro first looks in the asset movie to see if it includes a marker named
TransitionSwitchPoint. If present, this marker is used as the switch point.
• If not present, DVD Studio Pro looks to see if there are any markers in the asset movie.
If present, the first marker is used as the switch point.
• If no markers are present in the asset movie, the switch point is set to the asset movie’s
halfway point.
