Corel VideoStudio Help | Apply transitions

Apply transitions

You can add transitions between clips or between photos. Transitions can be used to fade in or fade out or to dissolve one photo into the next. There are many transition options to choose from.

To apply a transition

1 In the Library, click the Transition button

2 Click the Gallery drop-list at the top of the Library, and choose All if you want to see what is available.

3 Drag the thumbnail for the transition you want to the Timeline and place it between two clips or photos.

If you want to apply the same transition between all clips and photos in the track, in the Library, right-click the transition thumbnail, and choose Apply current effect to video track. You will be warned about replacing any existing transitions.

Add music

You can add songs from your computer by dragging a music file from the Library to the Music track. You can also use Auto Music to choose royalty-free music to your project.

To add music to a project

1 On the Timeline toolbar, click the Auto Music button

2 In the Auto Music area that displays in the Options panel, experiment with different choices in the drop-lists and click Play selected Song to listen to the selection.

3 To add your selection to the Timeline, click Add to Timeline.

4 The music is added to the Music track, and as with other clips, you can drag it to a new position in the Timeline and trim it by dragging the end handles.

5 To fade the music at the end of your project, click the Fade-out button

in the Auto Music area.

Note that with any audio clips, or video clips that include sound, you can control the volume of the clips. For more information about adjusting audio, see Audio.
