Broadcast panel stinger transition parameters
preroll
Preroll is a trim in that can be used to trim the beginning of the clip.
The maximum preroll time is 3:00 seconds.
trigger
Trigger is the time at which the switcher will start the background mix transition,
which will occur under the animation. Usually, this is the point when the animation
is full screen.
mix
Mix specifies the duration of the mix that will occur between preview and
program under the animation. To specify a cut instead of a mix simply set the
rate to 1 frame.
duration
Duration refers to the length of the animation. The duration should normally
match the length of the animation. It can also be used to trim out the end of
the clip.
It is important to understand that the trigger, mix and duration times are dependant on one another.
For example the trigger + mix rate cannot be larger than the overall duration. Note also that the time
displayed in the transition rate window is equal to the overall duration + preroll.
