Autofade

Autofade determines when a crossfade begins

Autofade Enabled (default)

With autofade enabled, a fade will start whenever a change to the source has been made.

Any changes to settings outside of the source will not trigger a fade. So, changing the Geometry or colour of a layer will not trigger a fade while changing the clip will.

*Autofade mode is designed primarily for operation from a DMX lighting desk where fading values such as geometry is easier to control from the desk, while media fades are best handled from the Hippotizer.

Autofade Disabled.

Disabling autofade sets crossfade to a fully manual mode — a crossfade is stared by pressing the take button.

Use this mode to set a complete state before applying it.

Disabling autofade creates a series of new controls:

Control

In manual mode, the layer controls will affect either the hidden layer, the visible layer or both depending on the control setting.

Take

Take starts a fade. Once started, a fade cannot be reversed.

Sync

Synchronises the visible layer to the hidden layer.
