Add Transitions Between Clips

Learn how to add transitions between your clips.

Add a transition between two clips to mark the change from one to the next. Choose a type and a duration, and apply it to one transition or to all of them.


Before you start

Transitions sit between two clips, so your composition needs at least two clips on the Clips row.

If you only have one clip, split it in two:

  1. Move the playhead to the point where you want to cut.

  2. Click the Scissors icon in the toolbar.

Studio splits the clip into two segments. You can now add a transition between them.


Add a transition

  1. Open your composition in Studio.

  2. Make sure you have at least two clips on the timeline. A Transitions row appears below the Clips row.

  3. On the timeline, click the transition icon that appears between two clips, below the Clips row. The Transition panel opens.

  4. Under Type, select the transition you want:

    • Fade

    • Slide

    • Wipe

    • Flip

    • Clock wipe

    • Iris

  5. Set the Duration in seconds.

  6. Under Direction, choose where the transition starts: From left, From right, From top or From bottom.

Each type shows a preview in the panel, so you can see how it looks before you choose.


Apply a transition to all clips

If your composition has several places where you can add a transition, the Transition panel also shows an Apply to all transitions button. Click it to use the selected transition everywhere in your composition, without setting each one by hand.


Delete a transition

  1. Click the transition you want to remove on the timeline.

  2. In the Transition panel, click Delete transition.

The two clips then follow each other with no transition between them.

To remove all transitions at once, click the trash icon next to Transitions on the left of the timeline.
