Chapter 23: Crossfades (Automation)

This chapter shows you how to use crossfades.

Crossfades are events that are triggered using the standard event mechanism, and are

managed via the Automation screen. A crossfade event is managed in a similar way

to any other event, such as GPIO and MIDI, and is detailed later on in this section.

A crossfade event is a trigger to change the value of a control — most often but not

always a fader — between two levels, that of the current control position and that of the

position in another scene, over time. If the level in the next scene is higher than the

current level, the crossfade uses the 'fade up' time; if it is lower, it uses the 'fade down'

time.
