Transitions

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

To add a transition, adjust clips in the time line so that the end of one overlaps with the begining 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 Kdenlive/Manual/QuickStart#transition






































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 disolve 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 dissappear (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
