Stinger uses a media clip and a switch point in time or frames. Move matches source items and sets motion for matched, appearing, and disappearing items. Browser transitions use web/local content, timing, matte, and audio options. Visual presets include Zoom, Blur Dissolve, Cube, Fly, Glitch, Grid Flip, Ripple, Swirl, Noise Dissolve, 3D Swap, Diffuse, Page Curl, Pixelate, and CrossZoom. Defaults resets type settings. Set Default chooses the collection default. In Quick Transitions, choose an available transition, enter Duration (ms), and choose Add. This duration is separate from the saved transition. Remove deletes the quick button.
