Adding Transitions

Nuke Studio supports basic video and audio fade transitions as well as dissolves between shots on the same track. Transitions come in three flavors:

• Fade in - fades in from black on a single shot.

• Fade out - fades out to black on a single shot.

• Dissolve - fades out from one shot and into the next, by merging frames.

Tip:  Once a transition is in place, it can be nudged in the same way as an edit using the , (comma) and . (period) keyboard shortcuts, providing the required handles exist.

To add a fade transition:

1.

Right-click the target shot and select Editorial > Add Transition > Fade In, Fade Out, Audio Fade In or Audio Fade Out to add the fade icon.

2.

Adjust the fade by dragging the fade icon using the Multi Tool or Move/Trim tool.

To add a dissolve transition:

Note:  You can only add dissolves between shots when they're on the same track and have sufficient handles available on both sides of the transition.

1.

Select the Multi Tool or Roll Edit tool and hover the mouse pointer over an edit between two shots.

Tip:  Clicking and holding the edit point displays available handles as a red overlay.

2.

Right-click and select Editorial > Add Transition > Dissolve or Audio Crossfade, or use the Ctrl/Cmd+T keyboard shortcuts, to add the dissolve icon to the edit.

3.

Adjust either side of the dissolve by dragging the icon, in a similar way to using the Multi Tool or Move/Trim tool.
