# Adding a cross disolve

1. Go to **Window** on the menu bar and select **Effects**. The **Effects** tab will display in the **Project** panel.
2. In the **Effects** window, click the **expand** button (triangle) next to **Video Transitions**.
3. Click and drag the **Cross Dissolve** icon to the area where you would like the transition to appear (either the beginning or end of a clip, or between two clips.) You will see the **Cross Dissolve** transition on the clip (or clips) in the **Timeline**.
4. To adjust the duration of the **Cross Dissolve**, right-click the transition in the **Timeline**. In the fly-out menu, choose **Set Transition Duration**.
5. In the **Set Transition Duration** dialog box, enter a new duration for your transition. **Note**: The duration time format is **Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames**.
6. Click **OK** to apply the new **Transition** duration. Repeat this process for other **Cross Dissolve** transitions as you see fit.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://techresources.gitbook.io/adobe-premiere-basics-windows-edition/adding-text-and-transitions/adding-a-cross-disolve.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
