LESSON 6
Adding Video Transitions
6
Drag the Rolling Edit tool left and right, and note how the changing Out 
point of the left clip and the changing In point of the right clip show up in 
the Program Monitor.
7
Move the pointer slightly to the left or right of the edit line, and notice that it 
changes to the Slide tool (
).
#
 Note:
Using the Slide tool changes the start and end points of the transition without changing 
its overall length (the default duration is one second). The new start and end points show up in the 
Program Monitor, but unlike using the Rolling Edit tool, moving the transition rectangle by using the 
Slide tool does not change the edit point between the two clips.
8
Use the Slide tool to drag the transition rectangle left and right.
9
Click the Alignment menu, and click through the three available options: Center 
at Cut, Start at Cut, and End at Cut.
The transition rectangle moves to a new location as you make each change. 
These three locations mimic the options when you drag a transition to the 
Timeline. Also, if you manually change the transition location, the Custom 
Start alignment option becomes available.
10
Drag an end (it doesn’t matter which end) of the viewing area bar to the edge of 
the A/B timeline.
This expands your view of the two adjacent clips so you can see the beginning 
of the left clip and the end of the right clip.
11
Drag the right and left edges of the transition to lengthen it.
Two other ways to change 
transition duration
You can also change the duration value by typing a new time or by clicking the 
duration time and dragging left or right to decrease or increase its value.
Note that as you lengthen the transition, the viewing area bar shrinks, thereby 
allowing you to drag its ends yet again to expand the area viewed in the A/B 
timeline.
