2. From the View menu, choose Transitions to display the Transitions window.
3. Select a transition from the list on the left side of the window. The thumbnail images on the right
side of the window represent each of the existing presets for the selected transition. Hover your
cursor over a preset to see an animated example.
4. After you've found the setting that you want to use, drag it to the a transition on one of the selected
events. The new transition will replace all existing transitions in the selected events.

Properties button is displayed in the timeline to show you where the transition takes place. You
can also click this icon to edit the transition's settings.
