<p />
When one edit ends and another edit begins, the default behaviour is to have the first edit's output immediately become the output of the second edit when played back. Transitions are a way for the first edit's output to become the second edit's output with different variations. 
<p />
<h4><a name="How_To_Load_a_Video_Transition"> </a> How To Load a Video Transition </h4>
<ul>
<li> Load a video file and cut a section from the center so the edit point is visible on the timeline. 
</li>
<li> Go the resource window and click on the Video transitions folder. 
</li>
<li> Drag a transition from the transition list onto the second video edit on the timeline. 
</li>
<li> <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/drop_transition.png" alt="drop_transition.png" />
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<p />
A box highlights over where the transition will appear. Releasing it over the second edit applies the transition between the first and second edit.
<p />
You can now <span class="twikiNewLink" style="background : #FFFFCE;"><font color="#0000FF">scrub</font><a href="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/edit/Cinelerra/Scrub?topicparent=Cinelerra.VideoTransition"><sup>?</sup></a></span> over the transition with the transport controls and watch the output in the <a class="twikiLink" href="Compositor">Compositor</a> window. <span class="twikiNewLink" style="background : #FFFFCE;"><font color="#0000FF">Scrubbing</font><a href="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/edit/Cinelerra/Scrubbing?topicparent=Cinelerra.VideoTransition"><sup>?</sup></a></span> with the <a class="twikiLink" href="InsertionPoint">InsertionPoint</a> doesn't normally show transitions because the transition durations are usually too short. 
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/tip.gif" border="0" alt="TIP" width="16" height="16" /> The exact point in time when the transition takes effect isn't straightforward. It starts when the second edit begins and lasts a certain amount of time into the second edit. Therefore, the first asset needs to have enough data after the edit point to fill the transition into the second edit.
<p />
<h4><a name="Editing_Transitions"> </a> Editing Transitions  </h4>
Once the transition is in place, it can be edited similarly to an effect. Move the pointer over the transition and right click to bring up the transition menu. The show option brings up specific parameters for the transition in question if there are any. The length option adjusts the length of the transition in seconds. Once these two parameters are set, they are applied to future transitions until they are changed again. Finally, the detach option removes the transition from the <a class="twikiLink" href="Timeline">timeline</a>. 
<p />
<h4><a name="Keyboard_Shorcuts"> </a> Keyboard Shorcuts </h4>
Dragging and dropping transitions from the Resource window to the Program window can be really slow and tiring. Fortunately, once you drag a transition from the Resource window, the U and u keys will paste the same transition. The U key pastes the last video transition on all the <span class="twikiNewLink" style="background : #FFFFCE;"><font color="#0000FF">RecordableTracks</font><a href="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/edit/Cinelerra/RecordableTracks?topicparent=Cinelerra.VideoTransition"><sup>?</sup></a></span>. If the insertion point or in point is over an edit, the beginning of the edit is covered by the transition.
<p />
<h4><a name="Other_Notes"> </a> Other Notes </h4>
It should be noted that when playing transitions from the [timeline] to a hardware accelerated video device, the hardware acceleration will usually be turned off momentarily during the transition and on after the transition in order to render the transition. Using an unaccelerated video device for the entire timeline normally removes the disturbance.
