4 Input the Transition Length located in the Modes Panel numerically or drag
the slider to increase and decrease. The length will vary depending on your
clips’ duration.
Note: Keep in mind that the length you set will be equally divided amongst the two slides. If
you set ten seconds, five seconds of the transitional effect will be allotted to the end of
the first media file while five seconds will be allotted to the beginning of the
succeeding media file.
Tips: Don’t forget that many of the transitional effects are so radical, that they will literally
“swallow” up some of your clip’s content. Consequently, be sure that your clips have
ample time in the beginning and in the end so as not to interfere with your clip’s
content and that the transition length is not set too long.
 Click Revert to revert to the original transition effect or click Clear to
clear all transitions.
5 When you are finished with your selection, click Apply to apply it to the
Storyboard. Be sure to set your preferences for applying to the Storyboard. Go
to "Edit Preferences" on page 46 for more information.
 Right-click on any transition for a shortcut menu that
provides an efficient way to manage the transition effects in
the Storyboard. Select one of the options to Cut, Copy,
Paste, Remove, Apply to All, or Clear All Transitions.
