What is the best program to author and add TRANSITIONS?

[disturbed1]

Read The Fuc..ng Manual (sorry but it's all covered there). And Dazzle's is a printed one!

I'm using 4.25 now. All versions do it though.

In movie star, there are two tabs on the left (little bumbs) select the second/bottom one. This allows you to import clips, and keeps a tally of what you've recorded. Once it expands, you'll see a tab labled effects. Here is where you can do custom scrolling titles, transitions etc......

Notice the two bumbs along the bottom? The one just below the stop button opens the editor. Drag two clips on the time line, at the split drag an effect there. You can resize the transition to last a second, minute, what ever you want.

If you have one long clip, you can hit the split button, then add you transition there.

That should get you started, for more help RTFM

Why don't you just use Movie Star?

It has built in transitions (uses directX plugins also), when you produce, just select fastest rendering, it'll only encode the transitions.

Ulead's Media Studio can do it, select smart render. Ulead can also use Hollywood FX.

Once again, select fastest/smart render, and only your transitions will be encoded.

joeAgain------, If this is true than it would be great. Please don't forget to post back result.

Oky-doky, Donpedro and guys.

Spawn just told me that MovieStar has some transitions that I can add, but they aren't very cool. I'll check those and look at MediaStudio. (it does let me import Mpeg-2 files, right?)....seems like I tried an older version that didn't accept them.

Does it now?
