This page is part of a tutorial to explain video editing with kdenlive and which includes the following topics:

First of all a word about transitions (called Compositions under kdenlive ), you will find the list by clicking on the corresponding tab


You can add compositions to favorites by selecting the desired composition and then adding to favorites from the context menu.


We will then find the favorite compositions by clicking on   and now by clicking on we will be able to download new transitions

Let's go back to our montage, we will now add a transition between the first and second clips (not counting the animation at the beginning). To do this we will make them overlap by a few seconds, we will do the same for the last and penultimate clips. Here is the result:

 

In the Compositions tab, we will drag the Dissolve transition between the first and second clips. This will give an effect with a combination of the two images gradually passing from one to the other. If necessary, we stretch the transition so that it encompasses the entire common part of the 2 clips, do not hesitate to zoom if necessary, it should give something like this.

 

For the second transition between the last two clips, we will choose Sweep Transition, it is a transition with a sweep effect to go from one video to another, we have a large choice of effects, I chose the burst sweep method



The transition may be in reverse (check when playing in the project monitor) in which case you must check the Reverse box .
