A video clip usually includes both an image sequence and an audio sound track. When video transitions are applied to such clips, an audio mixing operation is also used. Select the appropriate audio mixing technique to produce the desired overall transition effect.

To select an audio mixing operator, right mouse click on the transition and choose from a list in the Audio Transition sub menu. The choices are: Cross Fade, Mix Equally, Mute, Cut at Middle, Use First Clip, and Use Second Clip.

 

Equivalently, you may also apply an audio transition to clips on the audio tracks, by dragging and dropping one of the audio transition operators from the Effect -> Audio list.

Note: you can also change the audio transition for video clips from the Transition Panel window.

The following are the definitions of the audio transition operators.

   

Cross Fade
Mixing the two audio by gradually reducing the 1st while increaing the 2nd; also called "cross over".
   

Middle Cut
Abrupt cut from the 1st to the 2nd at the half length of the total transition.
   

Equal Mix
Mix the two audio with equal strength, i.e., 0.5 * (1st + 2nd) for every sound sample.
   

Use 1st Clip
Use only audio from the 1st clip, and nothing from the 2nd clip.
   

Use 2nd Clip
Opposite of Use 1st Clip, use only audio from the 2nd clip, and nothing from the 1st clip.
   

Custom Mix...
Double click the icon to bring up the Transition settings window, and select the mix strength (in percent) for the 2nd clip. This is a general case of Equal Mix.
   

Mute
Set silence for the whole transition segment.
