There are many transitions available for use in MediaStudio Pro. Everything from the standard crossfade to 3D transitions like flying-cube and folding-box. This tutorial will show you how you can easily create a graphic overlay in Cool 3D Production Studio and use it as a transition in MediaStudio Pro.

Figure 1: Example graphic overlay transition This transition was created for a high-school football highlight video. It transitions from a touchdown play to an image containing the final score. The graphic consists of a simple disc with the school's abbreviation 'THS' in the middle. The center of the disc shows through to the underlying image. The disc enters on the left side of the screen, travels to the center and then flies at the viewer in such a manner that the disc appears to fly off-screen leaving only the center portion of the disc, completing the effect.

As you can see from the example, any graphic that is framed by a circle, oval, rectangle or any other shape is a candidate for this type of transition.
