9.10 CrossFade

It is a transition that fades out its first input while fading in its second, over the course of the transition. The fades are achieved by animating the scene opacity similar to the way the Alpha works.

 

Parameters

 

Default

 

Range    

 

Description

 

None

 

 

 

Input pattern: (A B)

9.10.1 Equivalent muSE code

The cross fade can be implemented entirely in muSE using Alpha and layers as follows -
(define cross-fade
  (layers (A B)
          (effect "Alpha" ()
                  (input 0 A)
                  (param "Alpha" 1.0 (linear 1.0 0.0)))
          (effect "Alpha" ()
                  (input 0 B)
                  (param "Alpha" 0.0 (linear 1.0 1.0)))))

9.10.2 Usage and issues

A cross fade between two images is useful when there are parts of the two images that do not overlap in a presentation. If both images span the entire display area, you should use the "Dissolve" effect instead, which does not animate the opacity of its first input. The CrossFade effect in such a situation creates a dip in the overall luminosity of the output since it is animating the opacity of both its inputs.

9.10.3 Simple CrossFade transition

If we are doing a transition between two pictures, the first picture will slowly disappear and the second picture will slowly fade-in and appear.
