36 Pinnacle Studio for iPad
When creating a slide show or video highlight reel, you can save time by turning
on Automatic Transitions in the Global Settings panel. Studio will automatically
insert a dissolve transition between each pair of neighboring clips that you add
from then on. While you are there, make sure that the default Transition time is
less than the duration of your photos in the project.
Transitions and the Precision Trimmer
The loop mode of the Precision Trimmer can be particularly helpful when a
Transition is involved. Regardless of the length of the Transition, the preview loop
will play from a few frames before the Transition begins to a few frames after it
completes. The Precision Trimmer controls let you add or subtract frames from
each of the participating clips to optimize the transition. For more on using the
Precision Trimmer, please see page 26.
Titles
Titles in Pinnacle Studio for iPad are supplied text overlays that you can
customize with your own words and styling. Titles have their own section in the
Library, where they are divided into two groups: Standard Titles, which are static,
and Motion Titles, which incorporate built-in animations such as fades, and fly-in
and fly-away effects. Tap the thumbnail of any Title in the Library to see it play in
the Preview.
Any of the supplied Titles can serve as the basis for the Titles in your productions.
Simply touch-and-hold the thumbnail of your chosen Title and drag it into the
Movie Editor.
