Changing an Edit Point After Adding a Transition
Even with transitions applied, you can still trim one or both sides of the edit point (for
example, using the Ripple, Roll, Slip, or Slide tool). Both the alignment and duration of
the transition remain the same. For more information on these types of edits, see
“Performing Slip, Slide, Ripple, and Roll Edits.”

Note: The transition itself limits how far you can trim clips on either side of the edit point,
because the transition requires a certain amount of media on one or both sides of the

Replacing Transitions
If you change your mind about which transition you want in an edit, it’s easy to change
it.
To swap a transition in your sequence with another
Do one of the following:
µ
Move the Timeline playhead over the transition you want to change (or click to select it),
choose Effects > Video Transitions or choose Effects > Audio Transitions, then choose
another transition from the submenu.
µ
Drag a transition from the Effects tab in the Browser onto the transition you want to
change in the Timeline.
When the pointer is over the old transition, it will be highlighted to show it’s about to be
replaced.
