Using the Menu Transition Feature
The menu transition feature makes it easy to automatically create transition clips for all
buttons on a menu. You define a transition in the Menu Inspector that is then applied to
all buttons and the timeout action (if set). By default, each button is set to use the menu’s
transition settings; however, you can modify or disable the settings for each button.
Transition settings include:
• Transition (crossfade, wipe, and so on)
• Specific parameters based on the transition type (duration, direction, and so on)
• Alternative start and end video
The menu transition feature can be used with standard and layered menus.
Important:
Be aware of the aspect ratio and resolution of the button’s target when
configuring transitions. All transitions from a menu are based on the menu’s aspect ratio
and resolution. Depending on the type of monitor a viewer is using, if the button’s target
uses a different aspect ratio or transition, there may be a noticeable glitch when the
monitor switches from the menu’s settings to the button target’s settings.
