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.
