First, choose whether to apply a Video Filter or Video Transition .
Filters affect only the selected frames or generated frames. The filters provide effects which range from do nothing, monochrome conversion to various mirroring and swapping effects.
Transitions take two sets of frames as input (referred to as A and B frames) and provide functionality to merge them together in some way. The transitions provide a small collection of fade and wipe functionality.
A few notes on transitions are in order here. By default, a transition affects those frames selected by combining them with those immediately following--so if you want to cross fade the last second of a scene (A) with the first second of the following scene (B), choose Overwrite , click scene A in the Storyboard , check Limit to , click Video Transition , and make sure Frames Following is selected.
The direction of the transition can be set to Reverse , but each effect determines what that means. It becomes apparent when selecting a fade in combination with a colour (fade to/from black, white, pink etc) or a wipe.
