7.13 Applications of effects

7.13.1 The segment effect

This is an effect that is applied to each video and picture segment in the muvee. You define the effect to use for each segment in the muvee by the statement -

(define muvee-segment-effect effect-expression)

7.13.2 The global effect

This is an effect that is used to treat the muvee as a whole. You define the muvee’s global effect using the statement -

(define muvee-global-effect effect-expression)

7.13.3 The transition

The transition decides how to combine overlapping segments and present them within the muvee. A transition is simply a two-input effect. You define the muvee’s transition using the statement -

(define muvee-transition transition-expression)

7.13.4 Title to Body and Body to Credits transitions

(muvee-title-body-transition tx dur-secs)  void
  tx : transition
  dur-secs : number
tx is a normal transition function to use between the title and the body. The duration of the transition will be dur-secs. The transition duration may be shortened depending on the duration of the title and the body.

(muvee-body-credits-transition tx dur-secs)  void
  tx : transition
  dur-secs : number
Similar to muvee-title-body-transition except that the transition specified applies between the body and the credits. The transition duration may be shortened depending on the duration of the title and the body.
