Deleting Transitions

Sometimes you need to delete a transition on the Timeline.

To delete a transition:

1. Click on the transition to select it.

To delete several transitions at once, hold down the

Ctrl

key on the keyboard,

then click on each transition you need to delete.

2. Press

Delete

on the keyboard.

The transition disappears from the Timeline.

Adding Audio Crossfades

If you want to soften the transition between two audio clips, you can add an
audio crossfade. NewsEdit LT lets you create audio crossfades between any
two edit points in your sequence. Apply crossfades to only the audio tracks in
a clip or with each video transition you create.

Applying Crossfades to the Audio Tracks Only

You can apply the audio crossfade to just the audio tracks in your clip.

To create an audio crossfade:

1. Press

5

on the keyboard to select the Transition Tool.

2. Move the mouse over the cut point between the two audio clips where you

want to place the transition.

The cursor turns into a red X.

3. Click the mouse once on the audio track to place the effect.

The audio crossfade appears on the Timeline as a blue box with an X in it.
Audio crossfades do not have to be rendered.
