Previewing a transition prior to applying it
Animated thumbnails in the Transitions view enable you to preview any transition without having to apply it to a
clip.
To preview a transition before you apply it:
1. In the Tasks panel, click Edit, and then click Transitions.
2. Click a thumbnail to set it in motion (Figure 13).

Previewing an applied transition
You can preview transitions you’ve applied from either the Properties view or the Monitor panel. The Properties
view provides a preview area where you can display thumbnails of the actual clips or the default thumbnails (the
letters A and B) (Figure 14). All adjustments to transitions are performed in the Properties view, so if you plan to
adjust it as you preview it, use the Properties view.
