"Hey everybody, my name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. You can also add transitions to your clips if you make sure you have selected the editing tab and then at the top right select transitions and you will see quite a few different types of transitions you can choose from if you select one. It'll give you a preview of what that looks like. Like I said there a lot different types and you can play around and experiment with those. But, most of the time you?re just going to be using fades and cross dissolve probably. So, I'm going to go ahead and add a cross dissolve by selecting it and then dragging it and dropping it down on my time line and it's automatically going to apply itself. There is some options you can change here. You can change the speed of the cross dissolved. To do that just select your transition and I'm going to change the speed to make it take a little bit longer and when I select update it's automatically going to change the link of it down here as you can see. There is also, some of the transitions have extra options. If I select billow it's going to let you change the direction which that comes in at. That's pretty much the jest of adding transitions to your clips."
