Getting started
Applying transitions between clipsdissolves, page wipes, spinning screens and many moreis a nice way to ease viewers from one scene to the next or to grab their attention.There's art to adding transitions to your project. Applying them starts simply enough: a mere drag and drop. The art comes in their placement, length, and parameters such as colored borders, motion, and start and end locations.Most transition work takes place in the Effect Controls panel. In addition to the various options unique to each transition, that panel displays something called an A/B timeline. This feature makes it easy to move transitions relative to the edit point, change the transition duration, and apply transitions to clips that don't have sufficient head or tail frames.
