Adding A Transition - Ulead PYRO1394DV User Manual

Transitions give your home movies a truly professional touch. Fortunately, they are also the
easiest part of Ulead VideoStudio. For your first few videos, feel free to go a little crazy and
try out every transition in the Library. Once you've gotten used to using transition, you can
express your artistic side by modifying the preset transitions to your own liking. In any case,
you're guaranteed to have fun in this section.
Simple jump cuts used to be all you could do with your home videos. This is when one scene
stops and the next scene starts immediately. Ulead VideoStudio, on the other hand, has tons of
styles of transitions you can use, from cross fades to explosions. We'll deal with the details of
these effects later, but for now you just need a project with two video clips in it.

Adding a transition

1. From the Effects step, use the drop down list in the
Library to select a category of effects.
2. Scroll through the effects thumbnails in the Library
panel and find one that you like to use.
3. Click and drag the effect to the Timeline, roughly be-
tween two video clips.
4. Drop your effect and it will snap into place.
Drag and drop transition effects right onto the Storyboard.

Note: You may find it easier to
work on transition effects when
you're in the Storyboard mode.
