Why use transitions

Transitions are one way to enhance the story you tell in your video. They can add drama or set the mood for a particular scene.

Add transition effects

Select a transition from the Effects panel and drag it onto the timeline between two clips.

Some transitions need extra footage

Some of the transitions work by blending two clips together in some way, which means they need extra frames to work. When adding transitions, look for the white triangle that indicates there’s no additional footage.

Refine transitions

Adjust the timing of a transition by dragging the end in either direction. Replace a transition by dropping the new transition on top of it. Delete transitions by selecting the transition and pressing delete.
