### Transitions in Videoporama

Transition is the animation to go from a sequence to the following one.

#### Transition options

- Transition speed : To specify the transition's' lenght. The possible choices are :

  Very slow | 4 seconds
  Slow | 2 seconds
  Medium | 1 second
  Medium + | 0,8 second
  Fast | 0,4 second
  Vary fast | 0,2 second

  Notice :
  The total time of thhe montage is not equal to the sum of all sequence time, because of the transition. The transition time is common on 2 sequences (the current one and the following one).
  Two sequences of 10 secondes with a transition of 1 seconde between them will have a total time of 19 seconds (and not 20 seconds) !

- Transition type : To define the type of transition. The available transitions in Videoporama are :

  | No transition : Pass to the following sequence is instantaneous (no animation).
  | Fade : The crossing to next sequence is made by a fading effect of the next image in the current one.
  | Zoom in : The new image appear on the current one by growing until take the entire place of current image. Available options :
  | Zoom out : The current image disappear by ungrowing until not be shown, the following image is display on background. Available options :
  | Slide : The following image slide over the current one Available options :
  | Cube deformation : The following image is growing by one side and the current image is ungrowing by the other side. Available options :
  | Push : The following image push the current one to take her place Available Options :
  | Luma transform : The following image appear on current image by following a luma image (image in grey level from black to white) Available options (currently) :

- Transition option : Allow you to define the option to apply on selected transition type (if needed).

Notice :

| It's possible to leave Videoporama define randomly the transitions by selecting transition random in the configuration dialog box of videoporama (It's the default configuration).

#### Special cases : The first and last transition

The first transition (transition in) is always made with :

- As first image : a black image
- As transition type : Fade
- As transitionspeed : medium (1 second)

The last transition (transition out) is always made with :

- As second image : a black image
- As transition type : The transition type define in the last sequence
- As transition speed : The transition speed define in the last sequence

### Using transitions in Videoporama

- Transitions are defined sequence by sequence using the Sequence tab
