Using video transitions

You can use video transitions to control how a video event begins or ends, or to change the way one event flows into another.

  1. Select the clip where you want to add a transition.

  2. Click the Plug-Ins button at the top of the Catalyst Edit window to display the Plug-Ins pane.

  3. Expand the Video Transitions heading.

  4. Click a transition to select it.

  5. Click the Set Transition In or Set Transition Out button to add the selected transition to the beginning or end of the selected clip.

    When two clips overlap, add the transition to the beginning of the second clip to set the transition for the overlapping area.

    You can also drag a transition from the Plug-Ins pane to the overlapping area between two clips.

  6. Use the Fade Tool to adjust the transition length. For more information, see "Clip fades."

  7. Use the controls in the Clip Inspector to adjust the transition's settings.

    For more information, see "Using the Clip Inspector."

    Click the Mute button to bypass a plug-in.

    Click the Delete button to remove a plug-in.
