Clicking this live viewport will hide or display the layer, using the transitioneffect represented by the icon and label below (a progress meter shown behind the transition labelinforms you of the current visibility state of the layer).10.3.1 Configuring TransitionsEach Overlay layer has its own transition effect. Similar to the Transition mode controls for the Switcher,click the transition icon below an Overlay viewport to reveal a transition preset bin. Click an entry in thepalette to select it, or move the mouse pointer to the “+” sign that pops up for each icon and click to openAV-HLC100’s Media Browser.In the Media Browser, you can choose from the hundreds of transition effects included with AV-HLC100,including colorful Animation Store effects (the Media Browser is discussed in Section 11.1.3). Theselected effect will replace the current one in the preset bin.Hint: The direction of Transitions applied as Overlay layer effects automatically alternates. If the firstclick displays the layer using an effect, the next click removes it using the reverse effect. This ‘PingPong’ behavior is optional for Background layer transitions.
