Adjusting transition properties
All transitions have properties that you can adjust in the Transitions contextual control. Common properties are the location of the center point, the
start and end values, the border, and the anti-aliasing quality setting. (For some transitions, you can also change the orientation.) The following list
describes the most common controls and options you can use to adjust transition properties.
To open the Transitions contextual control, double-click the a transition in the Quick view timeline or the Expert view timeline.
Sets the duration of the transition. The default duration is one second.
Controls how the transition is aligned between clips. By default, transitions are centered between clips.

Displays the starting and ending frames of the clips.
Plays the transition backward. For example, the Clock Wipe transition plays counterclockwise.
Adjusts the smoothness of the transition’s edges.

If both clips contain trimmed frames at the cut, you can center the transition over the cut or align it on either side of the cut so that it
either starts or ends at the cut. A clip that has not been trimmed has a rounded edge in the upper-right corner of the clip.
If neither clip contains trimmed frames, the transition automatically centers over the cut and repeats the last frame of the first clip and the
