If you find the animation distracting, you can turn it off by once again choosing Animate
from the Transitions palette menu to deselect the option.
3 If the Video 1 track is not expanded, click the arrow to the left of the track.
To create a transition, you first need to overlap two clips in the Video 1A and Video 1B tracks.
The overlapping portion of the clips are used in the transition. Typically, the overlapping
portions of the clips are not essential to your project, since the transition will obscure them
both somewhat.
4 In the time ruler, drag the edit line to one second before the Out point of the Cyclers.mov
clip (0:00:07:01); you'll use this as a kind of guide for repositioning the Fastslow clip in the
next step.
Now drag the Fastslow.mov clip down to the Video 1B track, snapping its In point to the
5
edit line.
The two clips are now overlapping for a one-second duration.
In the Transitions palette, find the Cross Dissolve transition, scrolling if necessary.
6
This transition, frequently used in video and film, "dissolves" one scene into another,
over a brief duration.
