Can you edit the slide transition by removing the black bar between the two clips, or making your own slide transition and then save it
Thanks
Hi.
Yes, the transition is called Gliding. Once on the timeline, double click anywhere within the transition to change it's direction or how it flows.
Quite a few of the transitions have additional controls within them that can be accessed that way.

Hi
You can create your own transitions, - see this tutorial for one method, The image below shows transitions I have created using this method. The procedure is the same in Movie Studio
Note: creating the icon image and preview video are extra steps to what is shown in the tutorial.they are located in the following folders, the name given to the icon image and preview video must match the name you give the transition - I prefix mine with an underscore, as seen in the image above, to avoid conflict with exisiting Magix transitions:
Icon folder - use a jpg image 640 x 640pixels and put it in
C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Program name and edition\Plugins\GPU_Standard\Icons.
Preview video folder: create a WMV or MP4 video file, resolution 640 * 480 is big enough however do not go over 1920 x 1080, and put it in
C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Program name and edition\Plugins\GPU_Standard\Preview
Note: there is a bug in the preview of user created transitions - the playback is monochrome.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, especially the reference to "slides" (or are you creating a video consisting of a series of still images rather than video files?) but yes, any and all transitions can be removed and/or to a limited extent (depending on which edition of MS you have) "edited".
First, this is best done in Timeline view rather than Storyboard view. When you place your slides, if you make sure there is NO gap between them AND they do not in any way overlap, there will be no transition. To remove such a transition, simply move the second slide until it exactly touches but does not overlap the edge of the first.
To edit a transition (I assume you have an edition of MS which includes a range of transition templates), if you insert one of those listed between the slides and then right-click on the transition icon you will see a drop-down menu with some options to allow "editing".
HTH, but if it does not, please post back with a more detailed explanation of what you currently do and what you would like to be able to do differently!

Hi Jeff.
I was thinking that @Tiempie-Lamprecht does have at least some of the templates as the normal transition 'slide' does have a black bar at it's edge.

@CubeAce Hi, I believe the request is about the Slide sideways transition & @Tiempie-Lamprecht no you can't remove the black bar.
Edit, @CubeAce you posted while I was typing 👍

@johnebaker I don't think this 'push' type transition effect can be recreated & saved as it requires the movement of both images/objects. ?
Hi Gid, Ray
. . . . . I don't think this 'push' type transition effect can be recreated & saved as it requires the movement of both images/objects. ? . . . .
Agreed the all transition effects that move the actual video/images, such as the Gliding effect, cannot be saved as a Transition effect, because they are 'programmed' effects.
The Smooth transitions, Slide right and Slide left transitions are the 3D Basic, Slide sideways 1 and Slide sideways 2 effects without the black bar.
Added: I do not see the Smooth category of transitions in your image, the Slide right and Slide left transitions may be in a different category on your system.
The effect could also be created as a 'Collage' though this is overkill.

Are you sure? The Slide transition has a gap between that is the black bar..

@CubeAce @Tiempie-Lamprecht Gliding transition does push the images without the black bar when changed to Slide away, I didn't see it in your vid so when I tested I didn't really look deeper into it, 🤦♂️🤷♂️😂
Hi John EB,
In creating one's own transitions, like a simulated glide but combined with a zoom, the problem is always the fade transition due to the overlap on the same track. Is there any way to overcome this to get something like this?
I have to put the videos on separate tracks.
