2 Drag the pointer in the time ruler over the transition, keeping the Alt or Option key
held down.
The Cyclers.mov clip dissolves into the Fastslow.mov clip, over a duration of one second.
Dragging in this fashion provides a quick method for previewing your video program
but cannot give you a precise frame rate, since you’re moving it by hand. To preview
effects at a specified frame rate, you need to generate a Preview file.
Before you generate it, however, you need to adjust the work area bar—the topmost section
of the Timeline window—to cover the area you want to preview. The work area bar specifies
the portion of your project that you want to preview (with transitions, filters, and other
effects) or output. In this case, you’d like to preview the first three clips of your project,
including the transition effect you just added.
3 To view the first three clips in their entirety, choose 1 Second from the Time Units pop-up
menu. Now it will be easy to extend the work area by the correct amount.
Note: Depending on the size and resolution of your monitor, the 1 Second setting might not make
the first three clips entirely visible; in that case, choose another setting from the Time Units pop-up
menu. Doing so will not affect your ability to follow the remaining procedures in this chapter,
although the illustrations may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
