Applying a double-sided transition in the Timeline

To apply a transition between two clips in the Timeline the clips must be on the same track, with no space between

them. If a double-sided transition must use repeated frames (rather than trimmed frames), the transition icon

contains additional diagonal lines. The lines span the area where it has used the repeated frames.

To apply a double-sided transition in the Timeline:

1. In the Tasks panel, click Edit, and then click Transitions.

2. In the My Projects panel, click Timeline.

3. From the menus in the Transitions view, select Video

Transitions, and then select the category containing the

transition you want to apply.

4. Drag the transition from the Tasks panel to the cut

between two clips in the Timeline, and release the

mouse button when one of the following pointers

appears:

 Start At Cut icon : Aligns the beginning of the

transition to the beginning of the second clip.

 Center At Cut icon : Centers the transition over

the cut (Figure 9).

 End At Cut icon : Aligns the end of the

transition to the end of the first clip.

Note: Dragging a transition allows you to select Start At

Cut, Center At Cut, or End At Cut by slowly dragging

the transition left and right over the cut.
