Step by step
- In the middle column, under TRANSITION, click the effect you want. It lights up.
- In the field next to the FTB button, type the duration in milliseconds (from 100 to 10000) and press Enter.
- Use Quick Play or Enter to run the transition.
The effects
The panel shows all transitions at a glance, four per row: Cut, Fade, Merge, Wipe, Slide, Fly, Zoom and Cube. The two stingers are right below.
Choosing Cut leaves the transition with no effect: Enter and Quick Play send Preview straight to Program.
The duration
The field marked ms sets the duration. 1000 ms is one second. The same duration applies to FTB.
With a stinger selected, the field disappears and the stinger video's duration is shown instead: the stinger lasts as long as its video.
Questions
What duration should I use?
Between 500 and 1000 ms usually looks natural. Longer durations work for calmer transitions.
