Scroll Prev Top Next More

By adding a transition to a single clip, you can control how the clip appears and/or disappears in your production. For example, you can add transitions to PiP video (including images, video clips, color boards, PiP objects, paint animation objects, title effects, and particle effects) and fully control its appearance in your final video.

Note: you can set the default behavior and duration of transitions added to the timeline on the Editing preferences tab. See Editing Preferences for more information.

To add a transition to a single clip, do this:

1.Click on to open the Transition Room.

2.Select a transition effect and then drag it to the beginning (prefix transition) or ending (postfix transition) of a clip on a video track.

3.To change the duration of the transition, click on the button or click and drag its start/end points within the clip.

Prefix Transition

Postfix Transition

Note: you can add transitions to all the video, image, and effect clips on a selected track by clicking , choosing Apply Random Transition to All Videos or Apply Fading Transition to All Videos, and then the desired transition behavior. You can also do this for all the audio clips by selecting Apply Random Audio Transition to All Audio.
