# Selecting a Cut

To change a cut into a transition, you first must select the cut.

To select a cut:

1. In Record Timeline view, navigate to the cut where you want to create the transition.
2. Click the cut to select it or move the positioner over the cut.
   TipAs you move the positioner over a cut, the element should be surrounded by a yellow bounding box. If the element is not surrounded by a yellow bounding box, another cut, transition, or element is already selected, and the transition will not occur at the positioner location.

   The Transition buttons appear.
