the end of one clip only—as long as an adjacent clip has no handles that show behind
the transition.
To align a transition by dragging:
1
If you want to align the transition in the Effect Controls window, double-click the
transition and make sure that the timeline view is visible in the Effect Controls window. If
the timeline view is hidden, click the Show/Hide Timeline View button .
2
In the Effect Controls window or the Timeline window, position the pointer over the
center of the transition until the Slide Transition icon appears; then do one of the
following:
•
To place all of the transition in the clip preceding the edit point, drag the transition to
the left to align its end to the edit point.
•
To place all of the transition in the clip following the edit point, drag the transition to
the right to align its beginning to the edit point.
•
To place unequal portions of the transition in each clip, drag the transition slightly left
or right. For finer control, magnify the timeline.
To align a transition by specifying an option:
1
In the Timeline window, double-click the transition to open the Effect Controls window
for the selected transition.
2
In the Effect Controls window, choose an option from the Alignment pop-up menu.
Note: You can’t choose Custom Start from the Alignment pop-up menu because custom
alignment is always specified by dragging.
To simultaneously reposition both the transition and the edit point:
1
Double-click the transition, and make sure that the timeline view is displayed in the
Effect Controls window. If the timeline view is hidden, click the Show/Hide Timeline View
button .
2
In the timeline view of the Effect Controls window, position the pointer at the edit point
in the A track above or in the B track below the transition until the rolling edit tool
appears; then drag horizontally.
Note: If you see the Slide Transition icon when you position the pointer, you’ll drag the
transition, not the current-time indicator.

Changing transition duration
You can edit a transition’s duration in the Timeline window by dragging either end of the
transition; you can edit the duration in the Effect Controls window by dragging or by
changing the Duration value.
When you change the Duration value, the duration expands outward from the cut,
corresponding
to the Alignment option in the Effect Controls window:
•
If Alignment is set to Center at Cut or Custom Start, changing the duration moves the
transition’s In point earlier in time and the Out point later in time by equal amounts.
•
If Alignment is set to Start at Cut, changing the duration moves the transition’s Out
point earlier in time.
•
If Alignment is set to End at Cut, changing the duration moves the transition’s In point
earlier in time.
Note: Lengthening a transition’s duration requires that one or both clips have enough
handles to accommodate a longer transition; see “About clip handles and transitions” on
page 170.
