Color, tempo, and transitions overview

A number of behind-the-scenes functions in Director are important to the appearance and performance of a movie.

To control the way Director manages colors, it's important to understand the difference between RGB and index color and how to assign colors to various elements in your movie. See Controlling color.

To control the speed at which your movie plays, you use settings in the tempo channel. See About tempo.

To make scenes in your movie flow together without creating the animation yourself, you can use predefined transitions. See Using transitions.

All of these features involve using the channels at the top of the Score.
