B-side of the transition, depending on the position of the pointer.
2. Shift+click the other transitions in the Timeline you want to trim.
3. Click and drag in the direction you want to trim.
Using the Transition Corner Display
The Transition Corner Display is a trim editing interface that shows six frames you can use as
reference points when trimming a transition effect.
Transition Corner display. Left: the two frames on which the transition effect starts. Center: the two frames between
which the cut point defines the transition. Right: the two frames on which the transition effect ends.
Use the Transition Corner Display to trim the transition effect’s start frames, end frames, and
duration in timecode or feet+frames (for 24p and 25p projects). As you trim the transition effect,
you can see the corresponding frame adjustments in all six monitors simultaneously.
c
The Transition Corner Display applies only to the trimming of transition effects (for
example, dissolves, wipes, picture-in-picture, and so on). It is not designed for trimming
key, image, or segment effects.

The Transition Corner Display feature is only available when you use Big Trim display. To
ensure that you use Big Trim display when you make a trim, select “Never use Small Trim mode”

Features Tab” on page 1441.
