Clip Transitions
Add smooth transitions between video clips with built-in presets and optional sound effects.
What are Transitions?
Transitions create smooth visual effects when switching between video clips. Instead of a hard cut, you can add fades, wipes, slides, and more cinematic effects.
Cross-Dissolve
Both clips blend together
Directional
Wipe, slide, push effects
Cinematic
Zoom blur, light leak, flash
Sound Effects
Swoosh, whoosh sounds

Transitions appear between two adjacent clips on the video track.

Pro Tips
Keep it Simple
For professional tutorials, subtle fades (0.3-0.5s) work best. Save dramatic effects for intros and outros.
Consistency
Use the same transition style throughout your video for a cohesive look.
