Applying transitions to multiple

frames

You can also apply a transition to a
series of frames in the Sequencer.
Depending on the range of your
selection, some of your frames will
have the same In and Out Transition
regardless of whether or not you apply
an In or an Out Transition.
For example, if you select all the
frames in the Sequencer and apply an
In Transition, all of the frames will
have the same In and Out Transition,
except the last frame, which will have
no Out Transition.
To apply transitions to multiple frames:
1. Shift-click a number of frames in the
Sequencer to select them.
2. Open either the In or Out Transition
dialog.
3. Click one of the transitions in either
the In Transition or Out Transition
dialog.
4. Click Done to exit the dialog.

Using Transition Presets

The five buttons beside the In and Out
Transitions labels are the Five Favorites

Favorites come pre-loaded, but it is easy
to add your favorites.
To apply a transition using a preset:
1. Click to select a frame in the
Sequencer.
2. Click one of the In Transition Five
Favorites buttons. A real-time preview
of the transition is displayed in the In
Transition window.
To save a transition as a new preset:
1. While within the Transition dialog,
OPT-click a Five Favorites button to
clear the preset value.
2. In the Transition menu, select the
transition you want to use.
3. Click the empty Five Favorites button
to store the new favorite transition.
