Transitions

Transitions govern how Kdenlive cuts from one clip to the next. You can add many different transition effects using Kdenlive's transitions.

How To Add a Transition

To add a transition, adjust clips in the time line so that the end of one overlaps with the beginning of of another.

And then right click in the time line at the overlap point, select Add Transition and then choose one of the transitions from the flyout.

See QuickStart - transition

Transition Tab

If you select the transition in the timeline its properties will appear in the Transition tab. (If this is not visible then use View -> Transitions to add it.)

You should preview your transition to make sure it is running in the direction you expect. For example if it is a dissolve transition and it is running in the correct direction then then the first clip should cross dissolve into the second clip. But if it is in the wrong direction the first clip will suddenly disappear (replaced by the second track) it will then fade back in and then it will abruptly jump to second clip. If your transition is in the wrong direction just select Reverse check box in the Transition list.

Automatic Transitions

By default new transitions are created as "Automatic Transitions". This means that if you adjust the overlap between the two clips involved in the transition then the length of the transition will automatically adjust to cover the region where the clips overlap.

You can toggle off this feature on a transition by selecting the transition and choosing Automatic Transition from the Clip menu. When Automatic transition is off and you move a clip to change the overlapping region then the length of the transition does not automatically adjust.

FAQ

Q: How to add a cross fading effect?

A: Make clips on two tracks overlap in time, then pull the green dot popping-up in the corner of the bottom clip (see Transition).
