Any transition presets you’ve created are stored in the User category. These are the only transitions that can be deleted.
Fusion Transitions
The Fusion Transitions section of the Transitions panel contains Fusion effects that have been made into reusable transitions. Fusion Transitions work like any other transition. Once edited into the Timeline, they can be edited like any other transition, and when selected, they expose customizable parameters in the Inspector that let you tailor their effect to meet your needs.
However, Fusion Transitions are highly customizable. Simply right-click a Fusion Transition and choose Open in Fusion Page to expose all of the Fusion nodes that create that transition’s effect, enabling you to rebuild it to do whatever you need. When you go back to the Edit page, that transition is automatically saved.
Furthermore, if you know how to create effects in Fusion, you can create your own Transitions by making Fusion Macros and saving them to the Effects Library, so they appear in the Fusion Transitions section of the Effects Library. For more information on how to do this, see Chapter 68, “Node Groups, Macros, and Fusion Templates.”
— Brightness Flash: Ramps up brightness as it transitions between the two clips. Brightness controls the luminance level of the flash. Saturation controls the saturation of the flash.
— Camera Shake: Performs a shaking of the frames with color channel separation as a transition. Shake Speed controls how fast the shaking is. Shake Strength controls how large the shakes are. Contrast, Brightness and Saturation control their respective parameters on the transition.
— Circles: Transitions between two frames using concentric circles. Circle Color chooses the transition color. Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha control the relative strengths of each channel. Circle Thickness lets you adjust the width of the circles.
— Crash Zoom: Performs two rapid zoom-ins on the clips as a transition.
— Cross Dissolve: Dissolves between two clips. This is the base Fusion transition to use if you want to create your own custom transition in Fusion.
— Drop Warp: Creates a virtual water drop to transition between the two clips. Warp Scale adjusts the amount of image warping to the drop.
— Fall and Bounce: The trailing clip falls into the frame and bounces as a transition. Fall Angle controls the direction of the fall-in.
— Film Strip: Performs a zoom of a moving virtual film strip as a transition between the two clips. Color selects the color of the film base. Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha control the relative strengths of each channel.
— Flip 3D: Performs a simple rotation between the sides of a plane as a transition.
— Foreground Wipe: Performs a zoomed-in column wiping across the frame as a transition. Invert Wipe changes the direction of the wipe. Shadow Softness controls the “depth” of the column. Border Width controls the width of the column.
— Glitch: Performs a digital breakup of the image as a transition. Best used in very short durations of a few frames.
— Noise Dissolve: Uses Fusion’s FastNoise tool as a transition. You can store up to 6 versions of this transition. Mix controls the dissolve’s progress through the frame. Type controls the direction the noise emanates from. Softness controls the feathering of the border between the two clips. Animation controls the speed of the noise changes. Border allows you to set a colored border on the boundary of the noise between the two clips.
— Paint On: This performs virtual paint brush strokes as a transition. Shadow Blend controls the “depth” of the strokes. This transition is best used in longer durations.
— Pan (Down, Left, Right, Up): This performs mirrored images in motion as a transition. The direction of the motion is respective of which transition you choose.
— Rotate: This performs a combination of counterclockwise 180 degree rotation and dissolve as a transition.
— Rotate 90: This performs a combination of counterclockwise 90 degree rotation and dissolve as a transition.
— Round and Down: This performs a counterclockwise rotation around a central pivot point as it dissolves between two clips.
— Slice Push: Performs a transition consisting of several columns sliding out and pushing across the two clips. Slices control the number of columns. Angle lets you set the angle of the columns. Shadow sets the strength of the column’s drop shadow. Shadow Softness controls the spread of the drop shadow. Shadow Offset controls the angle of the shadow.
— Slide (Down, Left, Right, Up): Performs a mirrored slide in the direction indicated. The Curve control lets you set the following animation curve options:
— Linear
— Easing
— Custom
— Tunnel of Light: Performs a glowing transition where the first clip is sucked into a point, then the second clip expands from that same point. Contrast lets you determine the contrast of the light rays. Glow Gain controls the glow’s brightness. Glow Size controls the amount of glow. Glow Red, Green, and Blue allow you to change the color of the glow.
— Warp: Performs a warping transition like a water circling a drain between the two clips.
— Zoom In: Performs a transition that zooms in and blends the two clips together. Zoom Scale controls the strength of the zoom (a negative value zooms out instead of in). Zoom Center allows you to set the point around which the zoom occurs. The Curve control lets you set the following animation curve options:
— Linear
— Easing
— Custom
— Zoom In and Out: Performs a transition that zooms in on the first clip blended with a zoom out on the second clip. Zoom Scale controls the strength of the zoom. Zoom Center allows you to set the point around which the zoom occurs.
