Adjust transitions with multiple images in Final Cut Pro
Several transitions include areas that are filled with still images from the clips on either
side of the transition. The example below shows the Pan Far Right transition (one of the
Bulletin Board transitions).
The areas are numbered and correlate to numbered points (handles) in the timeline.
1. Select a transition with numbered points in the Final Cut Pro timeline.
2. Position the playhead at the center of the transition so that numbered handles appear in
the timeline and the corresponding numbers appear in the viewer, as shown above.
Note: You may need to adjust the zoom level in the timeline. To fit all the clips in the
visible part of the timeline, choose View > Zoom to Fit (or press Shift–Z).
3. Drag any of the numbered handles in the timeline to select the frame to fill the
corresponding area in the viewer.
As you drag the handle in the timeline, the corresponding area in the viewer updates to
show the new image.
4. Continue until you’ve selected images for all of the areas.
