206 CHAPTER 5
Adding Transitions
Working with the expanded Video 1 track
When the Video 1 track is expanded, you can easily add and adjust transitions between
two overlapping clips. Because a transition somewhat obscures the overlapping area of the
two clips, you should make sure that this area does not include elements essential to your
video program.
To add a transition to the expanded Video 1 track:
Position one clip in the Video 1A track and another clip in the Video 1B track so that some
1
(or all) of the two clips overlap. The amount of overlap determines the default size of the
transition.
If the Transitions window is not visible, choose Window > Transitions.
2
Select and drag a transition from the Transitions palette to the Transition track in the
3
Timeline window, between the overlapping area of the two clips. The duration of the transition
is automatically sized to the overlapping area.
