Chapter 5: Transitions 87
If you have purchased and installed the Hollywood FX
Plus or Hollywood FX Pro transition collections, the
Clip properties tool for transitions provides an
additional Edit button for Hollywood FX transitions.
This button invokes the Hollywood FX Editor, an
external program with many options. The use of this
program is described in its accompanying
documentation.
Previewing in the Clip properties tool
The Clip properties tool provides previewing controls
for transitions similar to those for video clips. See
“Trimming video clips with the Clip properties tool” on
page 63 for more information.
The preview areas show the last full frame of the
outgoing clip and the first full frame of the incoming
one. The preview frames update as you edit the
Duration field.
The transport controls let you preview the transition
effect in the Player either frame by frame or at full
speed. The Loop play/Pause button
cycles
through the transition repeatedly at normal playback
speed.
Both the counter (with its associated jog buttons) and
the scrubber give you direct access to any desired point
within the transition.
