3Click a transition style in the list to select it.
4Set the duration of the transition using the Speed slider.
5Make any other settings specific to the transition you chose.
For example, if you select Push, you can use the arrow buttons next to the Speed slider
to choose the direction from which the next scene enters. Other transitions, such as
Scale Down, allow you to set where the transition originates. A small circle appears in
the iMovie monitor that shows where the transition will start. You can drag the circle to
another location.
6To add the transition to your movie, click Add or drag the transition from the list to the
clip viewer.
∏Tip: If you want to use the same transition throughout your movie, you can set up the
transition the way you want, then select all the clips in your movie and click Add. The
transition is applied throughout the movie with one click.
If you change your mind about a transition, you can delete it and start over, or edit the
existing transition.
To delete a transition:
mSelect the transition and press the Delete key, or choose Edit > Clear.
You must remove transitions to move clips or add a different transition between them.
When you delete a transition, your clips are restored to their original length.
