Adding scene transitions (Transition)

You can add transition effects between scenes.

Tips
●
Transition effects are set between two consecutive scenes. Therefore,
scenes before and after transition effects will become shorter after
application.
Example: When a transition with a display time of 4 seconds is set
between a 3 minute scene and a 2 minute scene, the
transition overlaps 4 seconds of each scene.
(This produces a sequence of a 2 minute 56 seconds
scene, transition of 4 seconds, and a following scene of 1
minute 56 seconds.)
●
The display time of the transition is between a minimum 0.10 seconds
and a maximum 5 seconds. However, if either scene before or after
the transition is less than 0.1 seconds, the transition effect cannot be
set. Also, if either scene before or after the transition is 5 seconds
or less, the maximum time that can be set for the transition is the
playback time of the shorter scene.
Example: When the transition is set between a 4 second scene and a
5 second scene, the display time of the transition will be 4
seconds or less.
