Transitions Mode
Usually appearing naked to the human eye, transitions are a great mood enhancer in
movies or full-length feature shows and videos. Generally, scene-from-scene, simple
fades or a direct cut to the next scene is used. To further enhance your video, you
may want to try one of the many transitional effects PowerDirector has provided.
Before you begin, be sure that there are at least two video clips or images that have
been applied in the Storyboard.
Note: After you have modified your file in this mode, a red line will be displayed in the Modes
Wheel to indicate this.
1 Click a transition icon located anywhere between two clips from the
Storyboard.
2 Or, you may select a clip from the Storyboard and then click Transitions Mode
on the Modes Wheel.
Note: Transitions may not be applied to the last clip on the Storyboard.
 To preview a transitional effect before you apply, place your cursor above a given
transition in the Library.
3 Select a transition by clicking on it twice or dragging to the appropriate point
between the selected clip and the clip immediately proceeding it on the
Storyboard. You may also drag the transition from the Library to the Modes
Panel. The chosen transition will now appear in the Modes Panel.
