Use the Dissolve Timeline Transition to blend transitions between timeline elements in which the first clip fades out at
the same time as the second clip fades in.
NoteTo create a transition, you must have enough head and tail frames in the outgoing and incoming shots.
To apply the Dissolve Timeline Transition:
- Move the positioner between the two video clips where you want to add the transition.
- Click the Transitions button to display the Effects menu and select the Dissolve button or right-click the positioner and
select Add Dissolve.
- The settings for the Disslove Transition appear on the Effects menu.
- Adjust the settings for the transition. You can also click the Enter Editor button to access the full editor for the transition.
You can also create a fade to black (fade-out) by adding a dissolve at the end of the last segment or at the end of a segment
followed by a gap.
Additionally, instead of fading to or from black, you can specify a colour for the dissolve. You can use the custom colour
for fade-ins, fade-outs, and corssfades.
Select the dissolve you want to modify.
Depending on the type of dissolve you selected, one of the following custom colour buttons appears in the Effects menu:
- If you selected a fade-in, a From Colour button appears.
- If you selected a fade-out, a To Colour button appears.
- If you selected a crossfade, a To/From Colour button appears.
- Click the custom colour button.
- Select a colour from the colour picker. The custom colour dissolve is created.
NoteIf you selected a dissolve that is between two elements (not a fade-in or fade-out), the dissolve is split into a fade-out
for the outgoing shot and a fade-in for the incoming shot.
