How to add transitions

Add transitions between scenes or clips without distracting edits.

👀 Availability

Transition options and Auto Transitions can depend on your plan and workspace settings.

Use transitions to make scene changes feel smoother or more intentional.

Transitions are useful when you combine clips, cut between scenes, or create a fast-paced montage. For simple talking videos, a clean cut often works better than a heavy transition.

Add a transition

  1. Open your clip in Video Editor.

  2. Open Transition.

  3. Choose a transition style.

  4. Place it between clips or scenes.

  5. Preview the result.

Use Auto Transitions

Auto Transitions can help add transitions faster when the feature is available in your workspace.

Use Auto Transitions when:

  • You are working with several clips

  • You want a quick polished pass

  • You are creating a montage or high-energy social video

Review the result before exporting. Auto Transitions may still need manual adjustment.

Review before export

Check that transitions:

  • Do not cover subtitles or important visuals

  • Match the pacing of the clip

  • Do not make the edit feel confusing

  • Work well in the final aspect ratio
