What Is a Bridge?
A bridge is the portion of a video seam that is
required when you apply a transition effect
(Transition FX). When you set the In point and
Out point, the remaining portion is used for the
bridge. When no portion is made to serve as the
bridge, the transition effect cannot be applied
correctly.
Creating a Bridge Automatically
When no portion has been created to serve as
the bridge, you can right-click the Transition
FX icon, and "Make Margin for Transition
Effect" will appear in the resulting menu.
Moving the pointer to this item and clicking
creates a bridge. Using this feature shortens the
material by an amount corresponding to the
length of the bridge.
