Add and customise Transitions

‍You can use transitions on all object types, from videos to images and text, you can also add them on motion elements.

Add transitions

Transitions are used to create a smoother change between timeline objects. To use transitions in Flixier go to the left tab called "Transitions" and browse from a library of over 55 available. To apply one, you can simply drag and drop a transition between two media files in the timeline. Alternatively, you can just drag and drop a media file from right to left so it overlaps with the previous timeline object. This will automatically add a fade transition between the two timeline objects. 

When you have successfully added a transition, a blue outline will show up on the timeline object. 

At this point, you can right-click on the transition in the timeline and select another one from the dropdown menu, or just drop another transition on the blue outline.

Some transitions are customizable. You can change the color and transparency of your transition from the Properties menu.

Change the duration of a transition

To change how long a transition will last, drag from the side of the blue outline that shows that a transition is set on a timeline object. You can also change it in the properties panel if you want to be more precise. 

Remove transitions

To remove a transition, click on the timeline object in the timeline where the transition is placed. Next look in the Properties menu and you will find a list of transitions added to that timeline object. Click the trash-can in front of the transition you want to remove.

Swap transitions

To swap transitions just drag and drop a new one from the list over the already applied transition. 

A second method is to click on the timeline object and search for a transition directly in the Properties menu by clicking on the transition name at the top right of the screen.

‍

Swapping a transition will retain the duration setting of the previously set one while removing and adding a new one will reset the duration to default.
