Adding Transitions with Clips You Add to the Timeline

You can choose the Insert with Transition or Overwrite with Transition options in the
Canvas Edit overlay when you edit a clip into your sequence. This adds the default
transition at the In point of the incoming clip and the Out point of the outgoing clip.
The default video transition is a 1-second cross dissolve, but you can change this if you
want (see “

Changing the Default Transition

” on page 386).

For information on performing edits with transitions, see “

Performing an Insert with

Transition Edit

” on page 151 and “

Performing an Overwrite with Transition Edit

” on

page 154.
