Transitions for Mac
A transition is an effect added between pieces of media to create an animated link between them. Transitions can help your movie switch smoothly from one scene to the next. Filmora offers different types of video transitions to help you create smoother videos without noticeable cuts and breaks.
Each of the video transition categories includes multiple transition templates. You can find them under Transitions tab.
Upon reading this guide, you will learn about the workflow of transitions on Mac.
Index
Find Transition
Double-click on the app's desktop icon, and once the welcome window pops up on the screen click on the New Project option.

In the upper left corner of the editor's main window, you'll be able to see a few tabs, like Audio, Titles and Effects. Click on the Transitions tab. Click into the Transitions tab to see the available transitions.

Add Transitions
Method 1: Drag the Transition to the Timeline
Find a transition you want to use in your project, drag and drop it to the desired location on the timeline.

Method 2: Apply the Transitions
Instead of dragging and dropping the transition you can also place the playhead at the exact spot on the timeline where you want to add a transition, right-click on a transition you want to add, and select Apply.

You can also use the Apply to All option if you would like to add the same transition to all video clips in your project. To add a random transition to all video clips, choose Random to All.

Adjust Transitions
After dragging the transition to the timeline, you can double-click the transition to adjust the duration and the position. Usually, the default duration is 2 seconds. Filmora offers many types of transitions and the ability to customize the properties of the transitions.
Step 1: Open the edit menu
To do that, you can right-click on the transition on the timeline, and a small menu will pop up.

Step 2: Change the Duration
Method 1: You can right-click on the transition you've added and select Duration from the menu. Change the duration in the pop-up Duration Settings window and Click OK to apply the change.

Method 2: Once you've added a transition to the timeline, you can alter its duration by dragging one of its edges in the timeline.

Method 3: Select Preferences under the Wondershare Filmora menu to change the default duration and switch to the Editing Tab. Find the “Transition Duration” and enter the new duration. This will become the new default duration for all transitions in your project.

Step 3: Transition Mode
You can also change more options of the transition by selecting Show properties. You can also select a Transition Mode in this menu to determine how your transition will sit between the clips. You can choose from Overlap, Prefix, and Postfix.

Remove Transitions
Select the transition you want to remove from the timeline and hit the "Delete" button.

Or right-click on the transition in the timeline and select the "Delete" option from the menu.

Favorite Transitions
If you especially love a transition, you can add it to Favorite by right clicking transition in the list and selecting "Add to Favorites" from the menu.

Note:
Keep in mind that if you are applying a transition, you need to make sure that you've placed a video clip on the timeline.Or you can also choose the transition as your requirement. You will see a "Star" shape on the top right. Click the "Star" into the green.

You can check your favorite transitions from the left drop-down list Mine- Favorites.

Batch Apply Transitions
Once you've added a transition to your video clip within the timeline, you can now batch apply a single transition to the video with a define duration. After adding one transition across the timeline, set the "Transition Mode" and "Duration" before selecting "Apply to All" button.

Randomly Apply Transitions to Selected Clips
Wondershare Filmora now allows you to randomly apply a selected set of transitions to your video clips. For that, select the video clips across which you wish to apply the transitions and navigate to the "Downloads" sub-section in the "Mine" category of the "Transitions" tab.
With the selected clips, press the "CTRL" button on your keyboard and select the transitions you want to apply. Right-click after the selection and press the "Random to Selected Clips" button to apply the transitions.
