Creating and refining a sequence is the core of the editing process. Once you've made decisions about edit selection and placement, you can start to focus on other aspects, such as adding transition effects to finesse the sequence. Transitions add variety to your video by changing how you get from one clip to the next. They can be used to fix an abrupt audio or video edit or to create a certain visual style when creating promos or show openings. In this lesson, you will explore different ways to apply a variety of transition effects to the video and audio clips in your sequence.

A Star Iris is one type of video transition that can be applied to an edit point between two clips.
