Using A Transition

This shows you how to using a transition from one piece of footage to another.

 Firstly, you need to have one piece of selected footage already in place on your right hand side of the screen, you then need to choose what piece of film you would like the already chosen piece of film to transition to.

 When you've chosen the piece of footage, select it and drag it over the right hand side, next to the originally chosen piece of footage. 

 On the left hand side of the screen, on top of the project box, there are different headings you can choose, click on 'Effects'. This box will then show different choices of effects instead of your filming.

 You then need to choose the title 'video transitions' (click on the triangle next to the heading).

 Then choose whatever sort of transition you would like to use. For this example I have chosen 'dissolve'. So you would then click on the triangle next to the heading dissolve so that you then open a list of different dissolve transitions. 

 You can then choose which sort of dissolve transition you would like to use. For this example I'm using film dissolve.

 Click on the film dissolve and then drag it over to the other side, in between the two pieces of footage.  

You can then play the footage and decide if you like the transition.
