Transitions

Transitions are a special type of effect that is used to string two layers together, linearly.

Usage

In Vegas

Simply drag two pieces of footage on top of each other to create a transition. By default, this is a "fade"; it can be changed by dragging a new transition overtop (overwriting the old one).

In Premiere

In Premiere, you can't overlap footage. Thus, you have to line up the footage how you want them to look, then add the transition to "glue" them together. If you drag a piece of footage away from the other, the transition will disappear.

In After Effects

Transitions exist in after effects, however they work a bit differently.

• They are the same as any other effect on the surface level.
• There is no automatic movement, you control a "completion" slider to have it move (which also means you can have it go back and forth or not at all).
