 Some Transitions have parameters that can be modified. To see these, move the pointer over the transition and right click which brings up a menu. A \texttt{Show} option will pop up a window if there are parameters that you can change to different values. 
 An \textit{On} option makes it possible to turn off the transition so that it will not be in effect in case you want to only enable it under certain conditions.  The default value for this will be checked On.
 A \textit{Length} option lets you adjust the length in seconds of the time that the transition will be in play.  Values modified in the Show or Length will be saved for use the next time that transition is used until changed again. 
-The \textit{Detach} option deletes the transition from the timeline. When you drag and drop a different transition on top of an existing transition on the timeline, it replaces the previous one.

 There are some shortcuts to alleviate the dragging and dropping of transitions when you want to do a lot of them in various places on the timeline. After you have established the parameter values for a transition that you have dragged from the Resources window, you can use "U" and "u" keys to paste the same transition;
 the "U" key pastes the last video transition while the "u" key pastes the last audio transition on all recordable tracks.
