## Adding a transition

1. Open your video and select the scene where you’d like to add a transition.
2. On the right-hand side of the canvas, toggle **Scene Transition** on.
3. Choose a transition style from the available list.
4. (Optional) Click **Change All** to apply that transition style to every scene in your video.

✍️ Scene Transition isn't available on scenes with interactive elements, or on the final scene of your video.

✍️ To preview your transitions, you'll need to preview the entire video, as individual transitions won't display in scene previews.
