4 Input the Transition Length located in the Modes Panel
numerically or drag the slider to increase and decrease.
The length will vary depending on your clips’ duration.
Note: Keep in mind that the length you set will be equally divided amongst the two slides. If
you set ten seconds, five seconds of the transitional effect will be allotted to the end of the first
media file while five seconds will be allotted to the beginning of the succeeding media file.
Tips: Don’t forget that many of the transitional effects are so radical, that they will literally
“swallow” up some of your clip’s content. Consequently, be sure that your clips have ample
time in the beginning and in the end so as not to interfere with your clip’s content and that
the transition length is not set too long.
 Click Revert to revert to the original transition effect or click Clear to
clear all transitions.
5 When you are finished with your selection, click Apply to apply it to the
Storyboard. Be sure to set your preferences for applying to the Storyboard. Go
to "Preferences" on page 39 for more information.
