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.
2. In the list of transitions, pick a style you like and drag-and-drop its icon between to clips on the Timeline.
A transition icon will appear between the two clips.
Change transition length
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 Set this duration for 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.
Add transitions to clips
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.
2. In the Create Slideshow dialog box, select a transition style that you want to use for all clips. If you want to use different transitions, use the Random Transitions option in the list of transitions.
3. In the Transition duration box, enter the length that you want to set for all transitions. A transition cannot be longer than the shortest clip in your project.
4. Click OK to accept the changes.
Add transitions to all clips
To apply a particular transition to all the clips in the project right-click a transition and select the Add to All Clips option from the pop-up menu.
Remove a transition
To remove a transition from your movie or slideshow, right-click the transition on the Timeline and choose Remove Transition from the pop-up menu. If you want to delete all the transitions in your project, choose Remove All Transitions.
