Detailed Description of Classic Effect Editors
3D Transition Effects and Multilayer 3D Clip Effects
As with the 2D Editor, the 3D Editor makes a distinction between Incoming/Outgoing clip and Fore-
ground/Background when you apply the effect to two clips, i.e. use the effect as a Tra n s i t i o n . The corre-
sponding function button for switching between clips for editing can be found in the same location as in
the 2D Editor, above the inlay.
Z Position
The Z position must be applied separately to the two clips belonging to a Tr a n s i t i o n . Because both clips
exist in the same “z environment”, however, an overlapping is possible if the clip planes are modified
accordingly.
When several clips are layered on top of one another (multilayer composite), the Tr ac k priority continues
to apply, i.e. a clip on a higher Tr a c k superimposes images on lower Tr ac k s regardless of the particular z
positions. There are no intersections, nor are there gradual changes in the layering.
Camera Perspective
A 3D transition involves two Cameras, one for each of the two clips. Multilayer composites retain their
Camera settings when the 3D Editor is used.
