3. A Simple Stinger:
A stinger effect in video transitions is a dynamic, attention-grabbing animation or graphic that briefly covers the entire screen, creating a seamless transition between scenes.
Step 1: Prepare a stinger video file for transition.
Step 2: Put the video in the videos1 or videos2 folder of your SD card. I put it in the videos2 folder.
Step 3: Set the In6 channel to Player 2.
Step 4: Set the transition effect to DIP and select the Fill Source to In6.
Step 5: Set the rate of the DIP transition, and for better results, the rate should be less than or equal to the duration of the transition video.
Step 6: Set the Playback Mode to Single Play; Set the When Playback Is Over to Switch.
Step 7: Use the Auto button to make a transition.
