Adding Titles and Transitions

Transitions Mode

Usually invisible to the naked eye, transitions are a great mood enhancer in movies

or full-length feature shows and videos. Generally, scene-from-scene, simple fades

or a direct cut to the next scene is used. To further enhance your video, you may

want to try one of the many transitional effects PowerDirector has provided.

Before you begin, be sure that there are at least two video clips or images that have

been applied in the Storyboard.

Note: After you have modified your file in this mode, a red line will be displayed in the

Modes Wheel to indicate this.

1 Click a transition icon located anywhere between two clips from the

Storyboard.

2 Or, you may select a clip from the Storyboard and then click Transitions Mode

on the Modes Wheel.

Note: Transitions may not be applied to the last clip on the Storyboard.

 To preview a transitional effect before you apply, place your cursor above a

given transition in the Library.

3 Select a transition by clicking on it or dragging to the appropriate point

between the selected clip and the clip immediately proceeding it on the

Storyboard. You may also drag the transition from the Library to the Modes

Panel. The chosen transition will now appear in the Modes Panel.
