Applying a single-sided transition in the Timeline
When you create a single-sided transition, whatever is below the transition in the Timeline appears in the transparent
portion of the transition. For example, if you want the clip to transition to black, it must be on track 1 or have no
clips beneath it. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the clip on the lower track appears in the transition, so
the transition will appear to be double-sided.
To apply a single-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. Do one of the following:
 If the clip has no adjacent clip to one side of it, drag
the transition to the edge of the clip.
 If the clip is adjacent to another clip, drag the
transition to the edge of the desired clip
(Figure 12).
Note: The appearance of the pointer will differ,
depending on start options selected for the transition.
