Use transitions sparingly throughout your video. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Play around to find your favorite transitions. When you find your preferred transitions, click the Star icon on a transition to add it to your Favorites for quick access.<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"123\" height=\"92\" class=\"wp-image-265836\" style=\"width: 123px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techsmith.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/transition-favorited.png\" alt=\"Fade transition with yellow star icon\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techsmith.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/transition-favorited.png 123w, https:\/\/www.techsmith.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/transition-favorited-100x75.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 123px) 100vw, 123px\" \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use consistent transitions across your videos so viewers become familiar with what the visual transition indicates. For example, you can always use a Card Flip transition to signify switching between a desktop app to a website or a Gradient Wipe transition to convey the passage of time. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure the transition serves a purpose in the video. It should help support the message or tone of the video, not distract your viewers. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<style>\n    .product-cta{\n        width: 100%;\n        margin: 1rem 0;\n    }\n    .main-cta{\n        display: flex;\n        padding: 2rem;\n        border-radius: 10px;\n        margin-right: 0;\n        gap: 1.5rem;\n        background: #000000;\n    }<br \/>\n    .main-cta img{\n       margin: 0;\n       padding: 0;\n       width: 7.5rem;\n    }\n    .main-cta h4{\n       margin: -0.3rem 0 0 0;\n       padding: 0;\n       font-weight: 700;\n       font-size: 2.25rem;\n       color: #ffffff;\n    }\n    .main-cta p{\n       margin: 0;\n       padding: 0;\n       font-size: 1rem;\n       color: #ffffff;\n    }\n    .button-container{\n      margin-top: 1.4rem;\n    }\n    .button-container a{\n        padding: .5em 2em;\n        font-weight: 700!important;\n        border-radius: 10rem;\n        font-size: 1rem;\n        text-decoration: none!important;\n    }\n    .download-button{\n        background-color: #99E500;\n        color: #333333!important;\n    }\n    .buy-button{\n        color: #ffffff!important;\n        border: 1.5px solid #ffffff;\n    }\n    .current-user{\n        margin: 0.5rem 0 0 2rem;\n    }\n    .current-user p{\n        margin: 0;\n        padding: 0;\n        font-size: 1rem;\n    }\n\n    @media screen and (max-width:782px){\n        .product-cta > div{\n            flex-direction: column;\n        }\n        .main-cta > div{\n            flex-direction: column;\n            text-align: center;\n        }\n    }\n    @media screen and (max-width:500px){\n        .button-container{\n            display: flex;\n            flex-direction: column;\n            text-align: center;\n        }\n        .download-button{\n            margin-top: 0.5rem;\n        }\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"product-cta\">\n<div class=\"main-cta\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techsmith.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/icon-camtasia.svg\" alt=\"Camtasia Icon Logo\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"content-bucket\">\n<h4>Get Camtasia<\/h4>\n<p>Unleash the world&#8217;s most powerful screen recorder and video editor.<\/p>\n<div class=\"button-container\"><a class=\"buy-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techsmith.com\/store\/camtasia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Compare Plans<\/a> <a class=\"download-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techsmith.com\/download\/camtasia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free Download<\/a> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"current-user\">\n<p>* Already a Camtasia Editor user?
