Transitions

Transitions blend the outgoing and incoming clips around an edit point.

Add a transition

Choose a transition from the browser and apply it to a valid boundary between adjacent clips. Timeline insertion feedback shows the target edit before the transition is committed.

Adjust duration

Select the transition to expose its type and duration controls. The available duration depends on source handles around the edit.

Preview

Play across the edit in the Program Monitor. Complex transitions can require cached playback for a smooth real-time preview.

Remove

Select the transition and delete it. The underlying clips remain in place.
