Transitions belong at the edit point

Place two clips next to each other on the same timeline track, then drag a transition onto the clip edge. Keep the effect brief so the edit remains readable.

Local editing: Imported source media stays on this device while you work in the editor.

How to add transitions between video clips

Arrange two clips

Import at least two videos and place them next to each other on a timeline track.

Choose a transition

Open Transitions and find a fade, wipe, slide, zoom, blur, or stylized preset.

Apply it at the edge

Drag the transition to the point where one clip ends and the next begins.

Preview and export

Play across the edit, adjust if needed, then export the finished sequence.

Ways to use this workflow

Fade between scenes

Create a soft change in time, place, or topic.

Slide between sections

Give tutorials and presentations a clear directional change.

Stylized cut

Use a brief visual effect when the content calls for more energy.

Browser limit: A transition needs adjacent clips and enough usable frames near the edit. Overusing long transitions can make pacing feel slow.
