Transitions

3 types - Cut, Dissolve, and Wipes

Cuts - Change in perspective

Dissolve - Change in time

Wipe - You are more focused on the wipe than the story usually.

* You must have handles on the beggining of the in-coming clip and the end of the out-going clip.

Ways to do transitions

1. Show rubberbands and use the pen tool (timeline or viewer)
2. Select an edit point and go to Effects > Audio or Video Transitions > Name of transition
3. Drag a transition from the Effects tab to an edit point
4. Cmd + T

Audio Transitions Cross Fade 0 dB vs. +3 dB - OdB ramps down the outgoing clip and ramps up the incoming clip in a linear fashion. +3 dB ramps using a smooth angle and typically is a smoother transition.

Explore Transitions loaded into the viewer.

Try adding different transitions and seeing what you can change. Try rippling and rolling an edit when there is a transition applied.

Rendering

Green - Can play the transition in real-time

Orange - May play back in real time but may not be perfect

Red - The computer isn't fast enough to play back the transition in real-time and the transition must be rendered.

Ctrl + R is the shortcut to render everything
