I would like to run an animation (video clip) that is the transition between two sequence items. In order words, when I take an item in the sequencer, I want an animation to come in over the template currently on air and cut underneath the animation to the next sequence item. I know there is a way to do this in a script, but I'm not sure how to script it. Ideas? Thanks!

I think this is what I used within a script event on the scene director of second scene. First scene already on air, read the second scene and TakeID 1235 plays on same channel, but a higher layer.

script:
Dim MySequencer as xpSequencer = nothing
MySequencer = Engine.Sequencer
Dim MyTakeItem as xpTakeItem = nothing
MySequencer.GetTakeItemByID(1235, MyTakeItem)
MyTakeItem.Execute()

I don't think you actually need to script it. You should be able to use the transition logic feature.

What is the transition logic feature? I'm not familiar with that.

Thank you for the suggestion. I needed to upgrade to 6.0 to get Transition Logic.

After watching the tutorial, I'm still trying to figure out how to use the transition logic to fit my particular need.

Scene 1 is online. I want to use a video clip to bridge over the cut to Scene 2. The video clip is an animation that animates on, is full screen for a few frames, then animates off. I want Scene 2 to cut on underneath that animation.

How do I set up the transition logic to do this?

Thanks for your help!
