To customize a transition effect:
1. Insert a Box-Wipe transition effect between two clips.
Every transition effect clip placed between the clips contains a horizontal
"switch" which allows you to change the direction of the transition without
having to open the Transition Options dialog box. Clicking the green arrow
switch changes the direction of the transition effect from Forward to
Backward.
2. In the Transition Options dialog box, adjust the Divide by X value to 2. This
divides the screen vertically to produce two box-wipe effects on the screen at
the same time.
Double-click a previously inserted transition to open the Transition
Options dialog box. It is automatically opened when you insert a new
transition only when the Display Options dialog box option is selected in
File: Preferences: General tab.
