Multimedia Authoring and Tools Chapter 2 Sprite Animation Sprits are often use din animation. For example, in Macromedia Director, the notion of a sprite is expanded to an instantiation of any resource. Sprite Animation Video Transition The way in which any two video shots are joined together is called the?transition.? Cut Mix / Dissolve / Crossfade Fade Wipe Digital Effects 1. Cut The most common transition — an instant change from one shot to the next. The raw footage from your camera contains cuts between shots where you stop and start recording. In film and television production, the vast majority of transitions are cuts. /video/editing/transition/types.html 2. Mix / Dissolve / Crossfade A gradual fade from one shot to the next. Crossfades have a more relaxed feel than a cut and are useful if you want a meandering pace, contemplative mood, etc. Scenery sequences work well with crossfades, as do photo montages. Crossfades can also convey a sense of passing time or changing location. 3. Fade Fades the shot to a single colour, usually black or white. The fade to black and fade from black are ubiquitous in film and television. They usually signal the beginning and end of scenes. Fades can be used between shots to create a sort of crossfade. For example, fades briefly to white before fading to the next shot. 4.Wipe One shot is progressively replaced by another shot in a geometric pattern. There are many types of wipe, from straight lines to complex shapes. Wipes often have a coloured border to help distinguish the shots during the transition. Split-screens often use a wipe. A horizontal line wipes from left or right into the middle of frame, revealing the new shot in that half. Wipes are a good way to show changing location. 5.Digital Effects Most editing applications offer a large selection of digital transitions with various effects. There are too many to list here, but these effects include colour replacement, animated effects, pixelization, focus dro
