Transition Effects are used in between two slides to provide a kind of buffer for these, that is, graphics will be shown to make the cross-overs between slides nicer-looking. Think of it as a pretty bridge between two areas.;)

Listed below are the transition effects of Dreamstudio, with their corresponding descriptions and sample images. Note that the Hello Kitty image has been used as a picture on the second slide so as to make the transitions appear clearer. Again, not all sub-categories of the groups have an accompanying image. Only some have been selected to have a screenshot of these as these played.

Cover: The next slide goes over the other one from any of these directions: down, up, right, left, right-down, or left-down. Below is an example of the Cover Right effect.

Reveal: Kind of the opposite for Cover. The previous slide removes itself by sliding to any of these directions: down, up, right, left, right-down, or left-down. Below is a sample of the Reveal Up Effect.

Press: Seems like the new slide doesn’t like the one it followed very much.:P It will compress the previous one, as if a great weight has been applied to it. This can come from above, below, left, or right. Below is a sample of Press Down.

Zoom: The next slide goes zooming in place of the other one. The following are the options for Zoom:

In: The next slide comes zooming into view.

Out to Screen Center: The old slide zooms out and is replaced by the new one. (See sample below)

In Transparency: As the new slide zooms in, the old one fades out. (See Sample below)

Out Transparency: As the old slide zooms out, the new slide gradually appears.

In Swivel: The new slide spins into focus in place of the old one. (See Sample below)

Out Swivel: The old slide spins out as the new one zooms in.

Fade Through: The next slide fades in, via a choice of colors: Black, White, ed, Green, Blue, Light Blue, or Yellow. You may also choose Transparency or Dissolve.

Special Effects: These have effects that look like cartoons. These are the following:

Eraser: A huge hand holding an eraser appears and rubs it across the old one to reveal the new slide.

Zipper: A huge closed zipper appears in the middle of the slide and opens to reveal the new one underneath.

Silkscreen: A huge paint roller moves from right to left, replacing the slide.

Chaos: As various colors appear, the old slide appears to separate into parts and fades out.

Others: The following are the other transition effects that may be used:

Box Out To/From Center: A black rectangular shape appears and closes in or out (depending on which option you choose)of the old image to reveal the one. Below is a sample of the Box Out to Center effect.

Circle Out/Circle In: The same as Box Out effect, but a circle takes the place of the rectangle. Sample below is the Circle In effect.

Vertical/Horizontal Slide: Slides appear one at a time on the slide and fades out to reveal the new one. The sample below is that of the Vertical slide effect.
