However, if the duplicated frames fall outside the boundaries of the clip in the Timeline
or fall within a transition, a special indicator—four white dots—appears where the
duplicate frames are located. The dots can appear on either side or both sides of the
transition. The side of the transition the dots appear on indicates the clip or clips that
use duplicate frames. When you zoom out, the white dots decrease in range from four
to zero, depending on the zoom level.
For more information about duplicate frame detection, see Volume I, Chapter 9,
“Timeline Basics.”

3D Simulation
Cross Zoom Causes the video to zoom in on the first clip, switch to the second,
and zoom out. You can specify the center point, the amount of
magnification in the zoom, and the degree of blur applied during
the zoom.
Cube Spin Creates a three-dimensional cube from each clip and spins it in the
direction you choose. You can also view the cube from the inside or
the outside.
Spin3D Spins the first clip around its center point, revealing the second
clip. You can choose the angle of the spin axis.
Spinback3D Spins the first clip around its center point until the clip is viewed
from its edge, and then switches to the second clip, which spins
into view. You can choose the angle of the spin axis.
Swing Creates the effect of swinging the first clip in toward the viewer or
out toward the second clip, which is revealed as the swing widens.
You can choose the angle of the swing axis.
Zoom Zooms the second clip in from a single center point to full-frame
size, over the top of the first clip. You can specify the center point
(relative to the first clip) where the zoom begins.
