 Movement will be automatically calculated and a series of keyframes that
control the position and size of the effect according to your wishes will be
generated.
Transitions (fades)
When importing video files into the arranger, individual objects usually
follow directly after one another. This is called a "hard cut". However, you
can make scenes blend or “transition” into each other.
This means that for the duration of a transition, two objects are shown at
once and can be mixed "faded" together in different ways. You will find
numerous blends in the Media Pool’s transition directory.
Simple crossfade
A simple transition can be created in the arranger by dragging one object
over another. A crossfade will be automatically created. During this standard
transition, the brightness of both objects is increased, i.e. the first clip fades
out while the second clip fades in. The duration of the crossfade is
displayed in the arranger by white crossing lines. You can adjust the length
of the crossfade by dragging the upper handle of the second object to the
left or to the right.
To select a different fade click on the transition symbol displayed when
an object is selected.
The fade menu opens. The transition icon will change, depending on your
selection.
Fades from the Media Pool
 To open the fade directory, click on the "Fade" button.
 A click enables a preview of the fade on the preview monitor.
 Simply drag the desired fade preset onto the border between the two
objects. Only when the mouse pointer with the transition preset is placed
over a scene change will it turn into an object symbol. The object at the
back will be shifted to the front to accommodate the transition.
