Transition Effect Editors: Basics
Tra n s it i on s always require two video signals. The simplest type of transition effect is a Dissolve in which
the clip to the left of the Tra n s it i on on the Timeline (outgoing clip) is mixed with the second clip (incom-
ing clip). This involves two video signals. The parameters of these signals can be controlled in the Effect
Editors.
Transition Wipe Editor
One of the participating signals can also be “black”. This is the case if the Tra n s i t i o n is positioned at the
beginning or end of a clip and thus touches an empty position (= “black”) on the Timeline. Examples:
fade-in, fade-out. See also ““Empty” Timeline” on page 355.
Outgoing/Incoming Clip
Tra n s it i on effects are often much more complex than clip effects since they involve two clips in one edi-
tor. At some point in the Tr a n s i t i o n the clips are either in the foreground or background, as in the case of
a wipe or slide.
