Avid Xpress Pro / Media Composer: Transitions in Trim Mode
I stumbled across a great way to save yourself some time once you have made all of your trims in Avid. Now I must admit it has been in my face as every time I have performed a trim but I have never taken advantage of this time saving process. Once you are done trimming your two clips you can then add a quick transitions of your choice. Here’s how:
1. Click a transition in the Timeline while in Trim mode.
2. In the source monitor, or composer monitor depending how you have your Avid setup, your will see the transition button.
3. Click the Transition Effect Alignment button, and select the effect's position relative to the cut point.
This will save you a step of comig back later and adding your transitions! This is one more way to make your workflow more effective.
