Lesson 7
Applying T
ransitions and Effects
11 Play the start of the timeline to watch the fade.
TIP You can drag the playhead from the start of a clip to where you want the
fade-in to end, and then in the Trim menu, choose Fade In to playhead.
Adjusting fade handles is a fast and easily accessed method for placing and refining
fades-in and -out.
Adding Cross Dissolves
You can add the same transitions you applied in the Cut page. The Effects library includes
all the same options. However, the method of applying the standard cross dissolve is
different. The quickest way to add a cross-dissolve is through the menu option or
keyboard short cut.
1 In the timeline, go to the third red marker.
2 Play over 08_SOUTH_POLE_DC3 and the next clip, 07_KENYA .
You would like to blend these two clips softly into each other. To achieve this, you’ll add
the default cross dissolve transition.
3 Drag the zoom slider to zoom in to the clips you’ll be working on.
TIP You can hold down the middle mouse button to pan in the timeline.
