Show or hide onscreen controls
The onscreen controls for transitions appear when a transition is selected. The onscreen
controls for clip effects appear when an effect is selected, or when the playhead is positioned
over a clip or title in the Timeline that has a video effect applied. You can also show or hide the
onscreen controls.
Note: Onscreen controls are always hidden when you play clips in the Timeline.

Onscreen control examples
Following are a few examples of the onscreen controls you might use while working with
clip effects and transitions. Many other clip effects and transitions use these same or similar
controls—the examples are intended to provide general information about using the
onscreen controls.
Keep the following in mind while going through these examples:
•
These examples assume you are familiar with applying clip effects to clips in the Timeline.
•
You can apply multiple clip effects to the same clip, but for the purpose of these examples, it’s
best to either apply each clip effect to a different Timeline clip or remove the clip effect before
applying a different one.
•
These examples also assume you are familiar with adding transitions to edit points in
the Timeline.
•
Most of the effects and transitions have additional adjustments in the Video inspector or
Transition inspector.
