Today in Acrobat, we're introducing a new way to share information, one designed to engage, inform and move the people who matter most.

Adobe invented PDF to make sharing information consistent across devices and platforms. PDF has become the global standard for sharing important information across devices and platforms, with trillions of files in circulation, from contracts and research papers to top-secret UFO files and everything in between.

With PDF Spaces in Acrobat, we introduced an AI-powered workspace where you can bring together PDFs, documents, links and notes to do research, get trusted insights and create content with Adobe Express. With the new capabilities in PDF Spaces, we’re not just adding new features; we’re introducing a new way to share information. For the first time, sharing documents means sharing an experience that’s tailored to your intended audience, whether that’s a client, a team or a million subscribers.

A new way to share with PDF Spaces

Instead of sending files and links, you can now share interactive experiences. Our new productivity agent makes this possible, working for you to generate summaries, answer questions, provide guidance and tell you who’s engaging. Here’s how it works:

Create a tailored space.

How you present information is just as important as the information itself. Bring in PDFs, documents, links and notes and the agent generates a dedicated space including a fully editable overview. Add context or directions to set the tone, or change the order to showcase the most important information. When you update your docs, the information in the experience you share updates too, so everyone always has the freshest view.

Get people up to speed fast with an audio overview.

The agent automatically generates an audio summary to help orient listeners before they dive in. Edit the script so the right message comes through every time.

Customize an AI Assistant to fit the moment.

Every PDF Space comes with an AI Assistant. To customize one to share, just tell it about your goals, your audience and your tone to help shape its “personality.” When you share the space, the assistant can answer questions and provide recommendations, becoming a more interactive experience rather than a collection of documents. Let's say you have a white paper about AI. If you’re sharing with a group of middle school students, you could customize the assistant to help decode complex terms. Sharing with engineers? Customize the assistant to help them better apply the information to their job. (Plus, you don’t have to be a prompting expert to get it right — the assistant will guide you through the process!)

Add your brand.

Include your logo and color palette to create a professional, on-brand experience.

Follow up with confidence.

The productivity agent provides engagement insights to help make follow-up more timely, targeted and informed.

From the boardroom to your bridal party

Whether you're closing a deal or planning a reunion, here are some ways you can put these capabilities to work — no matter what you’re trying to accomplish:

Sales teams

Combine proposals, product overviews and case studies into a single branded space, so everyone on the buying committee gets a compelling story instead of a scattered file drop. And now you can see who’s engaging with your space and know how to follow up.

Marketers

Turn research, reports and launch announcements into guided, interactive experiences that move audiences from passive reading to genuine engagement.

HR and compliance leaders

Share onboarding packages and policy updates as guided experiences, so recipients get the full context — not just an attachment they'll skim and forget. Engagement data helps you know which employees have engaged.

Executives and finance teams

Share board pre-reads, investor briefings and operating plans as cohesive narratives so stakeholders arrive aligned and prepared to make informed decisions.

Content publishers and creators

Package articles, research and insights into interactive spaces that deepen audience engagement, reinforce credibility and give readers something worth coming back for. See how Vice Media, Kid Cudi, Jessica Yellin, and Mindy Weiss are using PDF Spaces to engage their audiences in new ways.

Sharing in your personal life

The need to be clearly understood doesn't clock out at the end of the day. Planning a wedding or reunion? Share one experience where friends and family can explore every detail at their own pace. Want to help someone understand a complex topic like replacing a car’s serpentine belt?? Turn it into a guide anyone can follow, with an AI Assistant, one that handles follow-up questions on your behalf. Even personal updates get an upgrade. Instead of a newsletter few people will read, share highlights as something people can explore on their own terms.

Evolving AI to work for you

Whatever the moment, PDF Spaces gives everyone a new way to share what matters and make sure it lands. And with the Acrobat productivity agent constantly evolving and working for you behind the scenes, the impact you have and the understanding you inspire can get stronger every day.

Get started today.

Learn more about how Acrobat AI Assistant helps you edit PDFs using chat, supported tools, actions, and availability.

Try it conversationally

Ask the AI Assistant to perform PDF tasks for you.

In Acrobat, you can perform PDF tasks using AI Assistant by typing what you want in your natural language. The AI Assistant identifies your intent, selects the appropriate tool or tools, and executes them, without you needing to navigate menus or find features manually. Key capabilities include:

• Multi-tool workflows: AI Assistant performs multiple actions in a single request, such as "Compress this file and share it with my team" or Add a watermark on pages with pricing information."
• Content and structure awareness: AI Assistant understands your document's content and structure to perform actions. You can refer to specific sections, topics, or information without needing exact page numbers, such as "move the pricing section before the case studies."

When an action is irreversible, needs more information, or when Acrobat wants to confirm it is acting on the right content or pages, it pauses and asks you before proceeding. For example, if you ask, "Move the pages with the pricing information," the AI Assistant will identify those pages and ask for confirmation before making any changes. You can also undo changes after a supported action is applied.

Note

Requests to edit PDFs through chat do not currently consume generative credits nor count as part of the limited number of AI Assistant requests.

Supported tools

You can edit PDFs with chat using the following tools in Acrobat:

Tool Action performed Available on Find Locates a specific word or phrase within the document Reader, Standard, Pro, Studio Print Sends the document to print based on existing settings Reader, Standard, Pro, Studio Share Distributes the document via link or email to another user Reader, Standard, Pro, Studio Add Signature Adds a signature to the document Reader, Standard, Pro, Studio Create Creates a PDF from editable formats like DOCX, XLS, and RTF Standard, Pro, Studio Convert Converts a PDF to editable formats like DOCX, XLS, and RTF Standard, Pro, Studio Delete Removes pages, text, comments, or images from a PDF Standard, Pro, Studio Export Converts PDF files into editable formats like DOCX, XLS, and RTF Standard, Pro, Studio Extract Separates pages, text, comments, or images from a PDF into another format Standard, Pro, Studio Find & Replace Identifies and changes specific words or phrases for one instance or all Standard, Pro, Studio Rotate pages Rotates pages in 90-degree increments, clockwise or counterclockwise Standard, Pro, Studio Compress Reduces the total file size of a PDF Standard, Pro, Studio Password protect Adds a password to restrict viewing or editing access to a PDF Standard, Pro, Studio Scan & OCR Converts text in a scanned image to searchable and readable text Standard, Pro, Studio Organize Rearranges, rotates, or deletes pages in a PDF Pro, Studio Header Adds consistent text such as a title or date to the top of every page Pro, Studio Footer Inserts page numbers or other text at the bottom of pages Pro, Studio Watermark Stamps text or images across pages for branding or security purposes Pro, Studio

Note

AI Assistant also offers step-by-step guidance for completing tasks with tools that don’t support the chat feature.

Prompt types

AI Assistant supports a range of prompts to perform an action using a single tool, multiple tools, or an action based on document content and structure. Multi-tool and content-aware prompts are available to individual Acrobat Pro and Studio plan users only, and are not yet supported on Teams or Enterprise plans.

Simple prompts Multi-tool prompts Content-aware prompts "Add page numbers to the footer" "Remove the last two pages and compress the file" "Reorder pages so pricing appears before case studies" "Compress this file" "Compress this file and share it with [email protected]" "Add a CONFIDENTIAL watermark on pages with pricing information" "Rotate page 4 clockwise" "Organize pages and add a header with the document title" "Replace all product names with 'Product X' throughout the document" "Add a password to this file" "Extract pages 1 to 5 and export as a Word document" "Delete all blank pages from the document" Original source

Discover Firefly AI Assistant (beta)

Discover Firefly AI Assistant (beta), a conversational creative agent that helps you plan, create, and edit content, using simple natural language.

Firefly AI Assistant (beta) brings together ideation, generation, and editing into a single environment, so you can move from idea to output faster and more intuitively. Instead of switching between tools or manually executing steps, you can describe what you want, and the assistant brings the power and precision of Adobe’s creative apps into a single, conversational interface to get you there.

The assistant bridges the gap between interfaces by leveraging capabilities from Creative Cloud apps such as Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Premiere, Firefly, and more, giving you the ability to work across formats such as images, visual designs, and video, in a single unified interface.

How it works

Firefly AI Assistant (beta) turns creative intent into action through a conversational workflow:

• Start with a goal

Choose a creative skill or use the prompt bar to describe what you want to create. For example, “turn these assets into a social campaign” or “retouch and resize these images”.

• The assistant plans the workflow

Wait for the agent to interpret your request and break it into steps, selecting the appropriate tools and actions to process it.

• Generate and edit in one flow

Create new content, modify existing assets, and iterate, all within the same interface and conversation.

• Refine with guidance

Accept or reject the assistant’s suggested improvements by stepping in at any point to refine the output, redirect the work, or adjust details as needed.

Key capabilities

• Conversational format makes the process easier

Describe what you want in plain language, and let the assistant handle how to achieve it, whether that’s generating assets, editing visuals, or combining steps into a workflow.

• All-in-one creative workflow allows you to move from idea to output faster

Firefly AI Assistant enables creators to describe the outcome they want using their own words as the assistant sets up and executes complex, multi-step workflows using tools from across Adobe’s creative suite.

• Multi-format output simplifies complex tasks

Create across formats, including images, designs, and video, empowering end-to-end content creation in one place.

• Guided editing and variation help you stay in control

Make changes, explore variations, and refine outputs through natural conversation instead of manual adjustments.

• Integration with Firefly web enables ease and scalability

Work directly within the Firefly web interface, where generative tools, assets, and workflows are already connected, automated, and repeatable.

You can also use the thumbs-up or thumbs-down option, along with the feedback option, to let us know what did or didn't work.

Discover Adobe Brand Intelligence

Discover Adobe Brand Intelligence, and how you can turn brand knowledge into scalable, on-brand content across your creative content workflows.

Adobe Brand Intelligence is a continuously learning brand intelligence platform that helps your teams create and validate on-brand content faster and with less effort. It’s a headless platform exposed through APIs, so it can integrate with existing first- and third-party apps rather than running as a separate app.

It works across your content workflows to understand your brand, apply your standards automatically, and reduce the need for manual reviews.

With Adobe Brand Intelligence, you can:

• Keep every asset consistent with your brand
• Catch issues before content goes live
• Scale content production without sacrificing quality

Instead of relying only on written guidelines, the system learns from your assets, past reviews, and team decisions, so your brand standards are applied consistently, every time.

What is Adobe Brand Intelligence?

Adobe Brand Intelligence captures and operationalizes an organization’s brand knowledge into a structured, usable format. It brings together brand guidelines, design systems, creative assets, human feedback, and approvals.

In most enterprises, only a small portion of brand knowledge is formally documented. The majority exists as undocumented expertise across teams. Adobe Brand Intelligence bridges this gap by:

• Capturing both explicit rules and implicit human judgment
• Applying brand standards consistently across all content workflows through guidelines
• Reducing reliance on manual reviews and subjective interpretation
• Enabling organizations to scale content production without compromising brand integrity.

Key skills

Adobe Brand Intelligence powers core capabilities that integrate across Adobe apps, third-party tools, and generative AI models.

Validate

The Validate skill automatically checks whether content adheres to brand standards before it goes live.

It evaluates visual design, layout, composition, typography, and brand policies.

This evaluation helps reduce the time and effort of manual reviews, makes sure of consistent brand compliance across projects, and speeds up your design’s time-to-market. You can easily integrate it into apps such as Workfront and Frame.

Instruct to Assemble

The Instruct to Assemble skill turns a campaign brief into on-brand content variants by selecting the best-fit creative elements and assembling them into production-ready outputs.

It helps you by:

• Interpreting the brief to understand audiences, channels, formats, and campaign goals
• Selecting the most relevant base creatives and approved elements
• Applying creative edits and validation checks to prepare assets for production
• Assembling multiple design variants across channels and audiences

This speeds up content production, reduces manual efforts in asset selection and assembly, and helps teams deliver more on-brand design variations at scale, and improves output quality through continuous learning. You can easily integrate it into apps such as Figma.

Build a workflow canvas

Learn how to add and connect input, output, and processing nodes to automate creative tasks.

With workflows, you can combine input nodes- text, images, and videos, processing nodes- generate, edit, transform, and output nodes- final deliverables, into automated sequences. This feature helps streamline content creation when you need to maintain consistency across multiple assets or experiment with different creative directions.

Workflows are especially helpful when you need to create multiple versions of creative assets, apply the same edits to a batch of them, or experiment with different generative‑AI styles using the same source materials.

Select Production from the left panel in the Firefly homepage or navigate directly to the production page.

Select Create workflow to open a new workflow screen.

All new pages display the Add nodes and AI Assistant panels by default.

From the Add nodes section, drag your desired input nodes onto the canvas—choose from Input Image, Input Text, or Input Video.

Add corresponding output nodes to define your final deliverables—choose from Output Image, Output Text, or Output Video.

Once you've defined the inputs and outputs, add processing nodes to establish a workflow.

From the Image, Video, or Text and Data sections, select processing nodes that match your creative goals, for example:

• Image: Generate Image, Upscale Image, Rescale Image, Auto Tone, Auto Straighten, Crop, Expand, Photoshop actions, and others.
• Video: Generate Video, Reframe Video, and Translate Video.
• Text and Data: Generate Text, and Merge InDesign Data.

Each processing node describes its function; read the node description to select the ones best suited for your use case.

Drag your selected processing nodes onto the canvas between your input and output nodes.

Start with a couple of nodes and gradually add or remove more to refine your workflow.

Hover over a node’s connection point until the Add icon appears, then select it to connect that node to another function in your workflow.

Placing your cursor over the empty dots will activate the add icon.

Note

Some nodes have multiple connection points. For example, a Generate Video node can connect to two different inputs: Text Prompt and Reference Image. Additionally, each connection point can link to different input or processing nodes.

If you find that adding nodes manually is confusing or complex, go to the Assistant panel and type in your question or expectation into the prompt box to let the assistant create the workflow you need.

Once a basic workflow is created you can edit it to suit your expectations.

After connecting all your nodes, test your workflow with sample inputs to verify it produces the results you expect. You can refine node settings and connections until the workflow matches your creative requirements.

Mount your project and start working immediately

Every creative project has moments where the work stops. A file needs to be downloaded. A drive needs to arrive. A folder needs to sync. Somewhere between the shoot and the first edit, hours disappear.

While creative teams have become more distributed, the infrastructure hasn’t kept up. The tools meant to connect teams have become the bottleneck.

Cloud workflows change that.

When media lives in a single, centralized system, teams are no longer passing files back and forth. They’re working from the same source, with everything accessible in one place. This unification creates a foundation for faster collaboration, better organization, and entirely new ways of working with media.

Frame.io Drive brings that shift directly into your existing workflow.

Mount Frame.io projects to your desktop, and your media is live in Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects, and every other tool your team uses. No waiting for downloads. Work can start the moment you mount the project.

Frame.io Drive is a desktop application that connects your Frame.io projects to your computer. Once mounted, your media appears in Finder or Explorer and behaves like local files inside your creative tools.

Editors open footage directly in Premiere, designers access layered assets in Photoshop, and motion designers begin compositing in After Effects—all without downloading anything first. Your team can truly move straight into editing, design, and review immediately.

Frame.io Drive builds on the foundation of the Frame.io Transfer app, carrying forward all the capabilities while expanding how your team can access and work with media across projects.

“I can open Premiere or After Effects—and I don’t know what the magic is behind it—but the file is not even fully downloaded and it’s already playing”
— JENS JACOB, CEO AND CO-FOUNDER, SATURATION.IO

Work without downloads or syncing

Shipped drives and sync tools have slowed creative work for years.

Large assets take time to move. Sync creates version conflicts. Drives arrive late or with the wrong folder structure.

Frame.io Drive removes that friction by streaming media on demand. As you open and work with files, only the necessary data is accessed, while local caching ensures smooth playback and responsive performance.

You can begin working as soon as you open a file, without managing downloads or duplicate copies.

One shared workspace for every team

Creative production rarely happens in one location.

A shoot runs in New York, editorial is in Los Angeles, design works in London, and marketing finalizes in Chicago. Each team needs reliable access to the same media.

With Frame.io Drive, everyone mounts the same project and works from one source. There is no need to send transfer links, maintain separate storage systems, or ship drives between locations. Teams stay aligned because they are all working from the same files, in the same project, at the same time.

This shared workspace becomes a single source of truth for your entire production. Media, metadata, permissions, and project structure all live together, making it easier to find what you need, track progress, and keep teams coordinated. Instead of managing copies, teams work directly on the same underlying assets.

When everything is unified in one place, new possibilities open up. Media can be searched, organized, and processed across entire projects. Workflows can be automated and extended. The system becomes more than storage and shifts to become an integral part of the creative process.

Just as important at the beginning of a project

Creatives have always brought finished work to Frame.io for review. With Frame.io Drive, that workflow expands to the beginning of the process, where assets live from day one.

Ingest media into Frame.io, mount your project, and start collaborating immediately. From first capture through final delivery, work stays connected inside Frame.io—reducing handoffs and keeping everyone aligned throughout production.

Built on Frame.io Mounted Storage

Frame.io Drive is powered by Frame.io Mounted Storage, a new architecture built for real-time access to large media files.

Media streams as applications request it, while local caching keeps performance fast on even the largest files. Teams can now work with high-resolution assets without waiting for full downloads.

The power of real-time file access is included with every Frame.io account. All media, metadata, permissions, and workflows remain fully managed within Frame.io, so you can continue to operate in a single, secure system. Your content lives solely within Frame.io and is never shared with third parties. Frame.io Drive and Frame.io Mounted Storage build on streaming technology provided by Suite Studios, an industry-leading provider of tools for creative teams.

Availability begins April 15

Frame.io Drive and Mounted Storage will roll out in phases. Access for Enterprise customers begins today and will continue over the coming weeks. Accounts on all other Frame.io plans will follow shortly thereafter. Join the waitlist now and you will be notified when your account is ready.

Learn to use the native audio enhancement feature in Firefly video editor (beta) to reduce background noise and improve voice clarity in your video projects.

Enhance audio uses AI to improve audio quality by isolating speech, music, sound effects, and background noise. You can use Enhance audio directly in the Firefly video editor (beta) to refine audio without leaving your workflow. Adjust speech, background noise, music, and sound effects with simple sliders to achieve clear, balanced, and professional-sounding results.

Apply audio enhancement to your clip

• Select the audio or video clip in the timeline for which you want to enhance the audio.
• Open the Properties panel by selecting the Properties icon from the right rail.
• Toggle Enhance audio at the bottom of the panel.
• You may have to wait for the audio to process and the enhancement controls to become available.

Note

Processing may take a few minutes, depending on the clip length and your internet connection. Results vary based on the original audio quality- clearer source recordings produce better enhancement results. Enhancement is only supported for clips up to 30 minutes in duration. If you select a clip longer than 30 minutes, a notification appears indicating that the action isn’t supported.

Adjust the speech and background levels using the sliders below the preview section:

• Speech enhancement: Controls the level of enhancement applied to isolated speech or dialogue. Move the slider left to reduce enhancement or right to increase clarity and prominence.
• Music: Controls the volume of music added in the clip. Move the slider left to decrease the music level or right to increase the music presence.
• Sound effects: Controls the volume of sound effects (example: walking, crunching leaves underfoot) in the clip. Move the slider left to reduce sound effects or right to make them more prominent.
• Noise: Controls the loudness of background noise. Move the slider left to reduce background noise or right to increase background sound.

You can use the fine controls to prioritize voice clarity or ambient sound, depending on the needs of your final output.

Preview your adjustments by playing the clip in the viewer or timeline.

Tip

Use moderate speech enhancement for natural-sounding results. If your recording has heavy background noise, reduce the Noise slider significantly, Sound effects and Music moderately, before increasing Speech enhancement.

Select Enhance to save your changes to the clip.

Once the enhancement is applied, you can adjust or remove it by returning to the Properties panel and modifying the sliders or toggling off Enhance audio.

Learn how to use Precision Flow (beta) to refine image edits using an intuitive slider that creates multiple variations in one go.

You can use Precision flow (beta) to explore a range of image variations within a single workflow. Adjust the overall mood or feel, like changing the weather or tone, using a slider that moves along a smooth gradient (e.g., warm to cool). This makes it easy to preview, fine-tune, and pick the exact look you want without rewriting prompts or generating multiple versions.

Generate images with precision

Generate an image and go to the Edit tab, or upload an image and select Precision flow (beta) from the left toolbar.

From the tools available above the prompt bar, select one of these options to define the areas you want to influence:

• Entire image: Apply the changes to the entire image.
• Select: Select a specific area or layer of the image, and hover the cursor over the image to see a number of selectable areas.
• Brush: Brush over a specific area and apply changes to it.

Apply visual overlays with the Select or Brush option to guide where generative edits will be applied.

Tip

When selecting the Brush option, you can select the remove icon to remove brush strokes, and then use the add icon to keep adding brush strokes. To start fresh, select the reset option to clear all selections.

In the prompt field, enter a short description of how you want to change the look and feel of the image.

Open the Edit strength dropdown menu to increase or decrease the strength of the edits applied. You can choose any strength indicator from 0.1 to 1.

Select Generate to generate image variations.

Select from a variety of generations to apply subtle or dramatic effects without reworking the entire edit.

Note

Credit consumption varies by model. To see how many generative credits each generation will use, hover the credit consumption indicator next to the Generate button.

Once image generation is successful, you'll see a filmstrip of images. Choose an image from the preview or adjust the slider to choose your preferred image from the range (subtle or dramatic), then select Apply.

Learn how to use AI Markup to make precise edits directly over images using text prompts, and more.

You can use AI Markup to combine freehand drawing and region selection with text prompts to edit specific areas of your image. Draw directly on or select a part of the image to indicate where you want changes, then describe the edit you would like to make. Firefly uses your markings, selections, and prompts together to generate edits that match your creative intent.

Note

When working with AI Markup, you have the option to use either of the three edit features- Text, Brush, and Region, individually or combine them per your needs.

Markup and generate edited images

Generate an image and go to the Edit tab, or upload an image and select Markup from the left toolbar.

Select the Text option and then place the box where you want to edit the image. Use this text box to define the change you want to make to the image.
To specify the color of an object in a text prompt, type the color name, such as 'green' or 'blue', then select a hue from the available options.

Select the Brush tool to draw directly on the image.

• Use the add icon to add brush strokes or select an area, and the remove icon to remove them.
• Use the slider to increase or decrease the brush size.

The Brush tool allows you to draw directly on the image and guide edits, like adding or repositioning elements within a composition

Use the Region tool to select a specific area, then describe the change you want to make in the prompt box that appears.
Region-based selection helps target specific areas for edits when text prompts alone aren’t enough.

Tip

Select the reset option to clear all markups and begin marking up the image again.

In the prompt field, enter a description of how you want the areas marked to look or change.
Select your preferred image generation model from the model dropdown menu.
Select Generate to generate the edited image based on your markups and prompt.
Credit consumption varies by model. To see how many generative credits each generation will use, hover the credit consumption indicator next to the Generate button.

Learn how to apply transitions like Dissolve and Fade to visual items on your timeline and create smooth scene changes.

Transitions help create smooth, professional-looking videos by blending scenes together or adding dramatic pauses. Firefly video editor (beta) offers easy-to-use transitions that you can apply directly to the clips added to your timeline.

These effects are most effective when you've already arranged your media clips in the timeline and want to refine how scenes connect. To apply transitions, you need:

• Active Adobe Firefly account with access to Firefly video editor (beta)
• Firefly video editor (beta) project open
• Video clips added to your timeline

Dissolve

An example where the Dissolve transition is used to create a gradual blend between two shots.

Fade

An example where the Fade transition is added, beginning with a fade-in and ending with a fade-out.

Add transitions to your clips

Navigate to the Firefly video editor (beta) and open a project to view its timeline.
Select the Transitions icon in the left rail.
Select the visual track items in the timeline to which you want to apply the transition.

Tip

Apply transitions to visual track items without selecting them by dragging and dropping the preferred transition on the timeline.

Select one of these transitions from the Transitions panel to apply them:

• Dissolve: Creates a gradual blend between two shots by smoothly transitioning from one clip to the next. This transition can only be added toward the end of video clips and cannot be applied to the final clip in your timeline.
• Fade: Gradually reduces the clip’s opacity until it becomes fully transparent, often used to transition smoothly between scenes or create subtle visual pauses. You can apply this transition to the start of your first clip and/or the end of your last clip to create a smooth fade-in at the beginning or a fade-out at the end.

Note

Dissolve can only be applied between two adjacent video clips on the main track in the timeline and not to other freeform tracks. However, Fade can also be applied to freeform tracks and other visual track items, such as text, images, or videos.

To edit the duration of the transition you’ve applied, select the transition on the timeline, right-click to view additional options, and then select Edit duration.
Alternatively, select the transition on the timeline and drag its handles.

To remove the transition you’ve applied, go to the timeline, select the transition, and press the Delete key.
Alternatively, you can select the transition, right-click to view additional options, and then select Delete.

Replace transitions by selecting the clip and choosing a new Transition, or by selecting a Transition and dragging it onto the clip you want to modify.

Transitions on the main track can be replaced as long as the required conditions are met. For example, a Dissolve between two video clips can be replaced with a Fade applied to each adjacent clip. Similarly, a Fade at the end of a clip can be replaced with a Dissolve between adjacent clips.
