How Transitions Appear in the Timeline
Transitions are applied between two adjacent clips in the same track of a sequence in
the Timeline. In the Timeline, a transition is displayed as an object overlapping two
adjacent clips. You can still see the cut point between the two clips. A dark gray slope
in the transition’s icon in your sequence indicates the speed, alignment, and direction
of your transition.
By default, transitions have a total duration of 1 second. To change this, see “
Changing
the Duration of a Transition in the Timeline
” on page 382.
To apply a transition, both clips must have additional media (handles) that overlap past
the edit point.
