What is Transition Mode?
Transition Mode is a simplified editing view that lets you quickly add transitions between video clips. When enabled, it opens up dedicated spaces between clips so you can clearly see where transitions can be applied—without cluttering the rest of the timeline.
Transitions added in Transition Mode remain part of your project even after you exit the mode.
❗️ Note: You will only see the option to enable transitions mode if your design system has transition components added to it.
