Video Transitions That Come with Final Cut Pro
3D Simulation
Cross Zoom Causes the video to zoom in on the first clip, switch to the second,
and zoom out. You can specify the center point, the amount of
magnification in the zoom, and the degree of blur applied during
the zoom.
Cube Spin Creates a three-dimensional cube from each clip and spins it in the
direction you choose. You can also view the cube from the inside or
the outside.
Spin3D Spins the first clip around its center point, revealing the second
clip. You can choose the angle of the spin axis.
Spinback3D Spins the first clip around its center point until the clip is viewed
from its edge, and then switches to the second clip, which spins
into view. You can choose the angle of the spin axis.
Swing Creates the effect of swinging the first clip in toward the viewer or
out toward the second clip, which is revealed as the swing widens.
You can choose the angle of the swing axis.
Zoom Zooms the second clip in from a single center point to full-frame
size, over the top of the first clip. You can specify the center point
(relative to the first clip) where the zoom begins.
Dissolve
Additive Dissolve Adds the two clips so that the first clip fades out and the second
fades in.
Cross Dissolve 1 Blends the first clip into the second clip.
Dip to Color Dissolve Blends the first clip into the plain color of your choice, and then
blends the plain color into the second clip. You can adjust the
speed of the blend.
Dither Dissolve Dissolves the first clip into the second by removing random pixels
from the first clip to reveal the second clip.
Fade In, Fade Out Fades in the incoming clip as the outgoing clip fades out. Reveals
the track below the current track in a transition.
Non-Additive Dissolve Compares the pixels in the two clips and displays the lighter of the
two as the first clip fades out and the second fades in.
Ripple Dissolve Applies a pond ripple effect to the first clip, simultaneously
blending it into the second. You can choose the number of ripples,
their center point on the first clip, and their amplitude and
acceleration. You can also apply a circle highlight to the ripples.
1 Renders with 10-bit precision if your sequence is set for 10-bit precision in the Video Processing tab of the
Sequence Settings window.
