Apply a single-sided transition

Transitions are typically double-sided as they get applied to both clips. Single-sided transitions are only applied on a single clip. Single-sided transitions give you more control and flexibility with the transition.

For example, you can create the effect of one clip departing using the Venetian Blinds transition, and the next clip fading in using Cross Dissolve.

In a Timeline panel or the Effect Controls panel, a double-sided transition has a dark diagonal line, while a single-sided transition is split diagonally with one-half dark and one-half light.
