The TransitionLayers plug-in enables a new way to define the two dynamic images of a scene-transition scene, using the Dynamic Scene Media Asset (see Create Transition Effects).

TransitionLayers Properties

images/download/thumbnails/50614726/pc_tl_pp.png

  • Layer1 Container: Container holding the scene to transition from. The referenced containers’ name is shown to the far right.

  • Layer2 Container: Container holding the scene to transition to. The referenced containers’ name is shown to the far right.

  • Reset buttons: Each layer container has a reset button, which empties the container reference.

    Tip: By pressing the group button for the source or destination layers, the corresponding container is selected in the scene tree.

    When adding the TransitionLayers plug-in to a container, the plug-in automatically creates the two sub-containers required and adds these to the plug-in properties:

  1. Parent container holding the TransitionLayers plug-in.

  2. Sub-container holding the scene to transition from, or Layer1 Container.

  3. Sub-container holding the scene to transition to, or Layer2 Container. In addition, a default two second alpha in animation is added for the Layer2 Container to the Default director in the Stage. This default animation can of course be changed as desired.

Tip: Containers holding the dynamic images for the transition scene can also be dragged onto the desired Layer container in the plug-in properties pane.
