For more information, see “Adding Transitions to Clips in Your Sequence.”
If the transition starts at the
beginning of the sequence,
you’ll see a fade from black.
If the transition is placed
at the end of the last clip,
you’ll see a fade to black.
Moving, Copying, and Deleting Transitions
After you add a transition, you can move it or change its edit point. You can also copy
transitions to quickly add the same transition at another point in your sequence (then
modify its properties later, if desired). You can also delete the transition.
Moving a Transition to Another Edit Point
You can move a transition from one edit point to another. The transition is removed from
the previous edit point and located at the new edit point. If there’s already a transition
at the new edit point, it’s replaced by the new transition.
To move a transition in a sequence
µ
In the Timeline, drag a transition from its current edit point to the desired edit point.
