72.2.2.55 Secondary events - Router/MC

Select and set the transition type (cut, v-fade, etc) to be used between events, being also possible to lock the transition. Available transitions include:

• Cut: This transition allows to add a Cut between events.
• Mix: This transition adds a Crossed fading.
• V-Fade: Use this transition to add a Cue and Head fading.
• Bumper: This transition (available only for timecode events) adds a blank video file to the event cue, as a Cut transition. When a Bumper transition is used, the duration of the Bumper file is added to the event duration, therefore the event in question will have mark-In and mark-Out as inserted in the asset, but the duration will be extended with the bumper file duration. Is possible to set a custom Bumper duration in Etere Configuration > Settings > Schedule Parameters > Automation > Bumper Duration.
