Eects can be added to any clips in the Timeline. Once they have been added (or in
the case of built-in eects, adjusted), you can customize the eects using controls in
an inspector, onscreen controls in the Viewer, and controls in the Video Animation
Editor and Audio Animation Editor. You can also try out multiple versions of an eect
using auditions.
Most of the eects and generators can be opened in Motion, an Apple application
designed to work with Final Cut Pro, where you can customize and save specialized
versions of them.

Transitions overview
You can add cross dissolves and other transition eects between cuts to make your
program more interesting.
Transitions replace one shot with another over a specied period of time; when one
shot ends, another one replaces it. Three very common video transitions occur over
time: fades, cross dissolves, and wipes.
You can add audio-only transitions to audio edits in a connected storyline. These
transitions can be either a fade-in, fade-out, or crossfade.
Note: When a transition is added to a video clip with attached audio, a crossfade
transition is automatically applied to the audio. If the audio is detached or expanded
from the video, the audio is not aected by the video transition.
