VII Deleting Transitions Transitions that you've added to your sequence can easily be removed. To delete a transition from a sequence: 1 Select the transition you want to remove in the Timeline. 2 Do one of the following: Â Choose Edit > Clear (or press Delete). Â Control-click the transition, then choose Cut from the shortcut menu. Modifying Transitions in the Timeline Once a transition is placed on a track, you may want to alter the duration to make it longer or shorter, or change its alignment by choosing where the transition begins relative to the edit point between two clips. You can also replace transitions. Note: To make very precise adjustments to transitions, you can use the Transition Editor. For more information, see Chapter 36, "Refining Transitions Using the Transition Editor," on page 525. Changing the Duration of a Transition in the Timeline You can change the duration of a transition, as long as there are enough overlapping frames to accommodate your new duration. When you change the duration of a transition in the Timeline, the way the duration changes depends on the alignment of the transition. Â If the transition ends on the edit point, the duration affects the clip to the left of this point (the outgoing clip). Â If the transition is centered on the edit point, changes in duration extend in both directions. Â If the transition starts on the edit point, the duration affects the clip to the right of this point (the incoming clip). You can change the duration of a transition by dragging or by using timecode. Chapter 35 Adding Transitions 517
