# Adding transitions

Transitions are a special effect that you can set to appear between slides in Captivate movies. Transitions can, depending on the content of your movie, create a smoother flow from one slide to the next. Try adding a transition and then previewing your movie to see how it looks.

Note: Transitions are set for the whole movie so they either appear between all slides in the movie or the setting is off and no transitions appear.

#### To add a transition between slides:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. From the Slide menu, select Transition and choose one of the following options:

Fade in and out: Select this option to have one slide completely fade out before the next slide fades in.

Fade between: Select this option to have a slide fade in, replacing the previously slide.
