Use the Link Transition and Link Cut buttons to affect how dissolving transitions (dissolves and wipes) and cuts behave during slide and trim operations.
When Link Transition or Link Cut is enabled, the transition or cut is linked to the element you slide or trim. This is useful if you have transitions such as dissolves that you want to keep with the trimmed element. For examples of slide operations using Link Transition and Link Cut, see Trimming Dissolves and Wipes.
The Link Transition button also affects the result of Hard Committing a selection of adjacent elements. If you select adjacent elements and Hard Commit with Link Transitions enabled, all elements are committed into a single element and the handles are removed. If Link Transitions is disabled when you Hard Commit adjacent elements, all the elements remain independent but they are committed and their handles are removed.
To enable Link Transition or Link Cut:
(a) Link Transition button (b) Link Cut button
