Lengthen the duration of the transition: Drag the incoming transition handle to the left, or drag the outgoing transition handle to the right. Shorten the duration of the transition: Drag the incoming transition handle to the right, or drag the outgoing transition handle to the left.

To modify a transition, do one of the following: To move the edit point, drag the edit line in the center of the precision editor, or drag either clip to extend or shorten its duration. If the selected edit point has a transition attached to it, the duration of the transition is indicated by diagonal lines and a transition bar with handles. You can skim these areas to help you decide where to trim. The dimmed portions of clips to the right and left of the edit line are the unused portions of the clips that are available for trimming. The outgoing clip and the clips before it appear at the top of the precision editor, and the incoming clip and the clips after it appear below. The edit point-where the outgoing clip is replaced by the incoming clip-is represented by a gray vertical line in the center of the precision editor. The precision editor appears, presenting an expanded view of your outgoing and incoming clips. Select the left or right edge of a clip in the timeline, and choose Window > Show Precision Editor. In the iMovie app on your Mac, do one of the following:ĭouble-click the edge of a clip in the timeline. Edits in which a clip’s audio and video have different start or end points are called split edits. You can also use the precision editor to extend the audio in a clip beyond the boundaries of the video-for example, when you want the audio from an outgoing clip to continue during the next video clip, or when you want the audio from an incoming clip to start before the video. You can use the precision editor to fine-tune when your clips begin and end, as well as the duration of transitions between clips.
