Fades and Transitions
Transitioning from one strip to the next is done in a similar way to alpha overlays: by creating a new strip for
the transition type you want. A commonly used transition is the cross fade , which fades gradually from one
sequence to the next.
To create a cross fade, first select the sequence that is being transitioned from, and then hold down the Shift
key to select the sequence that is being transitioned to (that is, the order of selection should be the same as the
chronological ordering of the sequences, for an ordinary cross fade). Press Shift+A and add a Cross sequence
from the Add menu. The Cross strip will extend over the length of the overlapping portions of the two original
sequences, as shown in Figure 11-21 . The transition will occur over the course of the Cross strip. In the Image
Preview windows along the right of Figure 11-21 , you can see previews of VSE channels 3, 2, and 1. The main
Image Preview window above the Sequence Strip Editor shows the fully composited image from channel 0.

Gamma Crossbehaves like Cross,except that italsoperformsgamma correction ontheoutputimage, which
can result in improved color and luminance balance.
Wipes are another way to transition from one sequence to another. Wipe strips are added in exactly the same
way that Cross strips are added, as shown in Figure 11-22 . Wipes enable somewhat more complex transitions
than fades. You can choose the type of wipe you want to use from the Effect Strip panel in the Properties shelf.
