We apply them between adjacent clips (video or photos)… Open the Video Transitions menu:
Transitions: Try 3D Motion: Cube spin Try additive dissolves Drag the Page Peel icon between any two clips Try 3D Motion: Cube spin Try additive dissolves Dip to black
Managing transitions Change duration (select the transition) Double click the transition on the time line Change the Duration value in the window that opens…enter directly or drag the yellow numbers; Delete transition Select it (see above) Right-click Select Clear
