— Open the Editing panel of the User Preferences, and change the “Standard transition duration” setting (there are controls for setting the duration in either Seconds or Frames). Click Save when you’re finished.
Creating Transition Presets
If you find yourself using a particular transition that’s customized in a particular way over and over in your work, you can create a Preset of that transition for easy recall. Once saved, Presets can be favorited or set to be the Standard Transition to make them more easily available.
1 Add a transition to the Timeline, then double-click it to open it in the Inspector to adjust its settings to be the way you need it to be.
2 (Optional) if necessary, open the transition’s Curve Editor and set the type of curve you want the transition to have. A customized transition curve will be saved inside of that transition’s preset.
3 Right-click on the transition you want to save, and choose Create Transition Preset.
4 Type a name for the transition preset in the dialog that appears, and click OK. That transition is saved to the User section at the bottom of the Toolbox Video Transitions area, where you can apply it just like any other transition.
— Right-click any preset and choose Delete Transition Preset.
Changing Transitions to Fusion Compositions
If you need to create a more complex transition than you can get from the Inspector, it is now possible to change any transition to a Fusion Composition on the Edit page Timeline.
1 Add a transition between two clips on your Timeline.
2 Right-click on the transition and select “Convert to Fusion Cross Dissolve.”
3 Right-click on the transition again and select “Open in Fusion Page.”
A new Fusion composition opens with the base Cross Dissolve nodes and tools already set. You now can use all of the powerful tools in the Fusion page to customize your transition.
