Introduction || Browse Plugins || Transition Curves || High Color Depth Support

Most of the PolyChrome transitions allow you to precisely change the way the luminance is mixed between the outgoing and incoming clips. When the Transition Curve slider is all the way to left then at the mid point of the transition both clips are at 50 percent luminance. This is the same as the FCP "Cross Dissolve" transition. When the Transition Curve slider is all the way to the right, both clips are at 100 percent luminance at the mid point. This is the same as the FCP "Additive Dissolve" transition. Using PolyChrome you can set each transition to any point in between those two alternatives or adjust a seperate curve for the incoming and outgoing clips.

Curve Types:

	Transition Curve: The Transition curve controller adjusts both the incoming and outgoing clips to have a the same curves fade. Change the type of Curve from "Symmetrical" to "In/Out" and new controllers will appear below.
	In Curve: adjusts the luminance curve only of the incoming clip as it fades in.
	Out Curve: adjusts the luminance curve only of the outgoing clip as it fades out.
	Fader Curve: For fade in/fade out transitions, adjusts the luminance curve as the clips fade to reveal the layer underneath (or black).
	Fader In Curve: Adjusts the luminance curve only of the incoming clip as it fades up from black.
	Fader Out Curve: Adjusts the luminance curve only of the outgoing clip as it fades down to black.
