Add and Customise Transitions

Transitions are used to create a smoother change between timeline objects. In Flixier, you can apply them to all object types: from videos and images to text and motion elements. Turn abrupt cuts into professional, fluid sequences.

Add transitions

To use transitions in Flixier, go to the Transitions tab on the left menu and browse the library of over 100 options.

There are three ways to apply a transition:

• Drag and drop: Drag a transition from the library and place it between two media files on the timeline. You can also add a transition either at the beginning of a standalone video or at the end of a standalone video.
• Properties Panel: Select your video by clicking on it, then head to the right side of the interface, under the Video tab. There you’ll see the + Add transition in and + Add transition out options that open a dropdown list of all transitions.
• Overlap: Drag a media file on the timeline slightly to the left so it overlaps with the previous object. This automatically applies a classic fade transition.

You can also use the AI Suggested option in the transitions tab, which will automatically generate a fully customizable transition from scratch. You will see a suggested prompt that you can modify. You can also select different AI generation models, resolutions and duration.

To generate an AI transition, you can also right-click directly on the timeline, and select the “Generate Transition” option.

When a transition is successfully added, a bold yellow outline will appear on the timeline object.

Tip: Some transitions are customizable; you can adjust their color and transparency in the Properties menu.

Change the duration of a transition

To change how long a transition lasts, drag the edge of its yellow outline directly on the timeline. For even more precision, you can also adjust the duration manually in the Properties panel, by clicking on the transition, heading to the top right side of the screen, and manually inputting how many seconds you want it to last.

Swap transitions

If you want to swap a transition, you can:

• Drag and drop a new transition from the library directly over the existing one on the timeline.
• Click the timeline object, go to the Properties menu, and select a new one by clicking on the transition name from the dropdown menu.

Note: Swapping a transition will keep your custom duration settings. If you completely remove a transition and add a new one, the duration will reset to the default setting.

Remove transitions

To remove a transition, click the object on the timeline. Look at the Properties menu on the right, where you will see a list of transitions applied to that object. Click the red “Delete transition” button.

Alternatively, you can right-click on the transition object directly in the timeline and select “Delete transition” to remove it.
