There are two ways to change an Input's category:
1. Drag and drop the inputs preview window (the video thumbnail square, not the title) over the top of the
category button you wish to assign it to.
2. Select the Category from the Input Settings window.
When an Input has been assigned to a particular category, the Input Settings button will be changed to a
matching colour.
Fade Bar
The Fade Bar (also known as a T-Bar) just below the FTB button allows you to manually transition from the
Preview Window and the Output Window.
The transition effect used is taken from the first Transition button. See Fade/Transition Buttons

as transparent.
