And if you ever need to change the length of the default transition added, you can always go up to the Final Cut Pro preferences section, and under editing, you'll see that there's a transition duration which you can change the length of here.

But very handy transition depending on your project.

Just going to move back a bit earlier and press the L key to play forward so we can take a look at that transition commonly used to show a passage of time in a project or just used in a slideshow. And meanwhile, I can also just change the duration when I do that by pressing 20, and now it's 20 frames in length. I can see that by pressing control D and looking at the duration right over here. The default length of a transition happens to be that of one second. So this is how we add a transition to the edit point. I'm going to clear my search results so I'm able to see all the transitions here in my transition browser, and I'm going to select the cross dissolve and drag it on the edit point where my playhead is. In many cases, we can see representation of a outgoing clip by trees and an incoming clip by the picture of mountains and a lake. Notice that as I skim over them, I'm able to preview the transition. So I'll type in light, and I get two transitions specifically with light noise and light sweep. We can perform searches down here if we are looking for a specific transition, such as maybe something with lights. You'll see that we're currently looking at all transitions in Final Cut. I'll click to look at the transition category. So you can see it's at the top right of the timeline. And how we'll do that is we'll go to the transition browser over here at the side. We're to add a dissolve to transition between this clip and the other clip. And if you need to get to this edit point, you can always use your up and down arrow keys to be precise. Inside this project, I'm just going to move over these two clips here, the JMCU1 and the mixing add. If you're following along with the exercise files, you want to go to the chapter nine underscore one project which you could find in your projects events area of this library. In this movie, we're going to look at adding transitions to our clips in our timeline, and it's going to start off the discussion of adding video and audio effects inside of Final Cut Pro and how we can look at a transition in Effect Browser in order to accomplish this.
