Transition parameters allow you to specify the starting point of a transition relative to the cut point and the length of a transition. Transition parameters appear at the bottom of the Effect Editor. For more information about using transition effects, see Working with Transition Effects.

Transition Effect Alignment button

Click the Transition Effect Alignment button to open a pop-up menu, and then select a position option.

Ending at Cut — The transition effect starts a number of frames before the cut defined by the duration, such that the effect completes at the cut point in the video.

Centered on Cut — The transition is centered on the cut so that half the effect occurs before the cut point and half occurs after the cut point in the sequence.

Starting at Cut — The transition effect starts immediately after the last frame of the outgoing video is displayed.

Custom Start — Allows you to specify the number of frames before and after the cut to be included in the effect.

Transition Effect Duration box

Click in the box, and type a value to specify the length of time that the effect will span the transition. The Transition Effect Duration format that the effect displays (for example, 1:00 is 1 second and 0 frames) is determined by the Transition Effect Duration setting you selected at the top of the Effect Preview monitor.
