Transcript

The transitions browser is right next to the effects. Go ahead and click this button over here to the far right, yours will look a little different because I've installed so many transitions into my program. But just like the effects you have different categories and most of the Final Cut Pro transitions are a little too much go ahead and click on the dissolves category. You can also click and drag transitions in between two clips at the cross dissolve in between the lamp and townhall clips. I'll zoom in to my timeline by pressing Command plus several times to get a better look at this transition. You can drag the edge of this transition to change the duration I'll make this dissolve a little longer.

Just like the effects these transitions also give you some control in the inspector. Let's move towards the end and let's go in the browser. I want to look for this clip of the railroad crossing saying Let's go ahead and drag this clip and add it right here after the buckets. Remove the audio and do not trim the beginning of this clip I want to show you when I click and drag the beginning of this clip towards the left you'll see a red line indicating there's no more footage available. So this will need more media footage to add a transition. Go ahead and add a transition in between these two clips without the edge trimmed.

This will pop up in your screen there is not enough extra media beyond clip edges to create the transition. Final Cut Pro is asking if you want it to overlap and trim the media for you. Yes, you do. So click Create transition Final Cut Pro did the work for you by trimming the edge of that railroad crossing sign you can click and drag the edge of the transition if you need to make adjustments but I don't have enough media to drag it out. Move the mouse to one of the upper corners of that transition and you'll see the mouse changes to the film roll. This means you're able to trim the clips from here, trim the clips to tighten them up and you can have a dissolve in between the markers.

I'll turn the end of this railroad sign so it cuts Write up this marker over here. If you think this will be better in slow motion, feel free to select automatic speed but this will be up to you. Now I want to copy the effects from the previous clip by selecting it and pressing Command C. Select the railroad crossing sign, go to edit and paste attributes just leave the strife effects selected and hit paste. Let's see how it's looking so far. Now you can go through the other categories and export these transitions. Yours will look different than mine because I have a lot that is already installed.

Some of these were purchased and some I created on Apple Motion five, go back to the dissolves category and check out the fade a color transition. Drag that towards the end of the last clip and now this will fade to black at the end. Now I'm going to show you how to export your footage out of Final Cut Pro. So let's go on to the next step.
