Preface

Time for action — adding special effects to our movie


There are two types of enhancements that we can add: Transitions, which make the move from one image to another, and Effects, which are fancy features that can be applied to our movie—such as zooming in or out, or making it look like an old, grainy film. Let's add a transition together, and then you can have a go at adding an effect.

  1. 1. From the list on the left, click on View video transitions.

  2. 2. In the middle section of the screen, a wide selection of transitions from which you can choose will be displayed.

  3. 3. Select one transition option, with the help of your cursor, and drag it into the box between the two images on the storyboard. Three different options are shown in the previous screenshot.

  4. 4. Click the Play button under the preview screen to see how the transition works.

  5. 5. Add transitions between each of your images, if you wish. If you have to change your choice, click on the transition and press Delete on your keyboard.
