 Centered on the cut: Choose this alignment if you want the cut point between the
two clips to be the midpoint in the transition.
 Ending on the cut: Use this alignment if you want the first frame of the incoming clip
to be fully visible.
Adding Transitions
You can add transitions when you edit a clip into the Timeline, or you can add
transitions between clips already in a sequence.
Adding Transitions With Clips You Add to the Timeline
You can choose the Insert with Transition or Overwrite with Transition options in the
Canvas Edit overlay when you edit a clip into your sequence. This adds the default
transition at the In point of the incoming clip and the Out point of the outgoing clip.
The default video transition is a 1-second cross dissolve, but you can change this if you
want (see “Changing the Default Transition” on page 390).
For information on performing edits with transitions, see “Performing an Insert With
Transition Edit” on page 155 and “Performing an Overwrite With Transition Edit” on
page 158.
