Adding Cross Dissolves
4 As if you were going to perform a rolling trim, locate the mouse pointer directly over
the edit between
08_SOUTH_POLE_DC3 and 07_KENYA.
5 When the pointer changes to a rolling trim cursor, click the cut to select it.
The green rolling trim handles appear on both sides of the edit point.
6 Choose Timeline > Add Transition, or press Cmd-T (macOS) or Ctrl-T (Windows).
A dissolve with a one-second duration is added to the edit point.
TIP You can change the default transition duration in the editing category of
the user preferences window.
When creating a transition, frames from the two clips will overlap. That is, half of the
transition frames are taken from the unused portions of the outgoing clip and half
from the incoming clip. These video handles, which you used for trimming in Lesson 6,
are now used to extend clips to support the transition.
7 Play the two clips to view the dissolve.
TIP To remove a transition, zoom in and select it using the selection tool, and
press Delete.
