The Wizard allows you to create a sequence of objects following each other one by one with various transition effects between them. When you run the Wizard you see the following window:

In this window you can configure the following parameters:

• Object overlapping. If objects overlap in time, you should turn on this option. Most of transition effects require overlapping objects, for instance one slowly disappears and the other one slowly appears at the same time.
• Use or not Fade In and Fade Out effects for audio. These options are only available for objects having an audio track.
• Transition duration determines how long the transition effect should last.
• Transition effect.

After you finish the Wizard, objects will be aligned in time and the selected transition effect will be applied to them.
