Transitions
Transitions are short animations that use geometric shapes and transparency to connect two clips in a creative way.
Add a transition
1. Click the Transitions button on the left sidebar to open the list of all transitions. Click on a transition to preview it in the player.
2. In the list of transitions, pick a style you like and drag-and-drop its icon between two clips on the Timeline. If you really like a transition style, you can click the heart icon 
to add it to your favorites list.
to add it to your favorites list. 
A transition icon will appear between the two clips.
By default, each transition will be set at 2 seconds long. To change the transition length:
1. Double-click a transition on the Timeline to open transition properties.
2. In the Transition Properties window, enter the new transition length in the Duration field. The format is seconds:milliseconds. If you want all transitions that are currently in the project to have the same length, select the Apply to all transitions option.
3. Click OK to apply the changes.
Transition mode
In the Transition Properties window you can choose mode of transition. This setting affects what media is used to fill in the missing parts of the transition:
Trimmed content – if you've trimmed the video, the trimmed bits will appear during the transition. If the videos haven't been trimmed, a freeze frame is shown.
Freeze frame – a static frame is shown during the transition.
Slow motion – the part of the video overlapped by the transition is stretched to fill the entire duration.
The default mode is set to Trimmed content. The change of transition mode is more obvious when applied to a video clip rather than to an image.
Using the Transition Wizard
You can automatically add transitions between all clips in your movie in just a few steps:
1. Click the slideshow 
button on the toolbar. The Create Slideshow dialog box will open.
