Edit Transition Displays the Transition Editor on page 4558 for the selected
clip.
Edit the transition for the selected clip and the clip following it. By default,
when a script is created, Minimum Motion Loss is used to find start frames
for the source and destination clips. Use Edit Transition to select your own
start frames or to try out optimized transitions.
NOTE Right-clicking a transition “arrow” in the Motion Flow Graph also displays
the Transition Editor, but it will only give you the basic transition editing tools. To
edit the transition’s Source Clip-Frame Start and the Destination Clip, use the Edit
Transition button.

transition should appear natural, as though the motion was captured as one
long motion sequence. Like an AB roll transition in video editing, an
appropriate section in both clips is selected for the transition (dissolve) from
the source clip to the destination clip. Velocity differences between the source
