To manually add a transition effect:
1. Place two video clips on a video track, making sure the clips overlap a little.
2. Open the Production Library and select the Transition Effect folder to
display its gallery of effects.
The Transition Effect gallery displays all the available transition effects in
Video Editor. There are over one hundred transitions which are conveniently
grouped into folders. Each effect is displayed as an animated thumbnail for
easy identification.
3. Drag-and-drop an effect onto the overlapping clips.
4. Double-click on the transition in timeline, Transition Options dialog box
appears. Click OK and preview.
The Transition Options dialog box is where you can customize your transitions. You
can alter the speed, the direction, the border, and apply any number of little
nuances to your transition with the Key Frame Controller. Each effect has slightly
different controls. Refer to the next section for details.
