Using Transition Segments

At times, a transition sounds better if another piece of music plays over the end of the source and the beginning of the destination. This bridging piece of music is called a transition segment, and you can use one for any transition in Wwise. The following illustration shows how a transition segment is played between the source and destination of a music transition.

You can also use any combination of the pre-entry and post exit areas of the source, destination, and transition segments to create even more seamless transitions.

Any Music Segment can be used as a transition segment. To learn how to create a segment, refer to Chapter 24, Working with Music Tracks and Segments.

[Note] Note

If a Work Unit containing the transition segment has been unloaded from the project, the transition segment will be highlighted in yellow.

To use a transition segment:

  1. Load a Music Switch or Playlist Container into the Property Editor.

  2. Switch to the Transitions tab.

  3. Select a transition in the Transition Matrix.

  4. Select Use transition segment.

  5. Do one of the following:

    • Drag a segment from the Project Explorer to the Transition Segment field.

    • Click the Browse button (...) and select a segment from the Project Explorer - Browser.

  6. If you want the pre-entry of the transition segment to play, select Play transition pre-entry.

  7. If you want the transition to begin playing with a fade-in, select Fade-in.

  8. If you want the post-exit of the transition segment to play, select Play transition post-exit.

  9. If you want the transition to stop playing with a fade-out, select Fade-out.

    [Note] Note

    For more information about editing the fade-in and fade-out properties of a transition segment, refer to Editing Fades.
