Scene Transitions

A scene transition replaces a hard cut between two clips with an animation. Use transitions where your video moves to a new topic.

Add a Transition

1. On the timeline, right-click the cut between two clips.
2. Choose Add Transition, then choose a style.

The transition shows as a badge on the cut. Click the badge to open the transition inspector.

To change or remove a transition, right-click the cut and choose Change Transition or Remove Transition.

Transition Styles

Dissolve, Dip, Slide, Push, Wipe, Iris, Zoom, Scale and Audio Crossfade. None removes the effect.

The Transition Inspector

Select a transition to open its inspector:

• Transition: a grid of styles. Click a style to change it.
• Timing: the Duration slider. The default is 0.5 seconds. The range is 0.05 to 2 seconds.
• More options, such as color, audio crossfade and easing (Linear, Ease In, Ease Out, Smooth), depending on the style.

Tips

• Keep transitions short for screen recordings.
• Use one style through a video.
• Add transitions at section changes, not at every cut.
