System information
To change the length of the transition for cuts that are converted to transitions, use the Cut-to-
overlap conversion settings on the Editing tab of the Preferences dialog. For more information, see
"Preferences - Editing Tab" on page 601.
Changing the speed/duration of a transition
After you've added a transition to an event, you can easily adjust its duration, which will change the speed
at which the transition occurs.
Adjusting a transition at the beginning or end of an event
1.
Hover over the edge of the transition until the fade cursor is displayed.
2. Drag the edge of the transition to set its new length:
Adjusting a transition between two events
Drag either of the events to change the amount of overlap between them. The transition length is updated
to match the overlapping area:
Right-click a track header and choose Expand Track Layers from the shortcut menu to reveal the A roll, B
roll, and transition roll. In this view, sequential clips alternate between the A and B rolls, and the overlapping
area between events is represented by the transition roll.
Adding a transition progress envelope
Normally, a transition progresses from 0 to 100% in a linear fashion over the length of the transition. A
transition progress envelope gives you complete control over a transition: you can hold, reverse, and repeat
individual transitions.
