    \title Transition Editor

    To make movement between states smooth, you can use
    \uicontrol {Transition Editor} to animate the changes between
    states.

    First, you need to \l{Adding States}{add states} in the \l States view
    and \l{Specifying Component Properties}{edit some properties} that can be
    animated, such as colors or numbers, in the \l Properties view. For example,
    you can animate the changes in the position of a component.

    In \uicontrol {Transition Editor}, you can set the start frame, end
    frame, and duration for the transition of each property. You can also
    set an \l{Editing Easing Curves}{easing curve} for each animation and
    the maximum duration of the whole transition.

    \section1 Zooming in Transition Editor

    Use the slider on the toolbar to set the zooming level in
    \uicontrol {Transition Editor}. Select the \inlineimage zoom_small.png
    and \inlineimage zoom_big.png
    buttons to zoom out of or into the view.

    \section1 Animating Transitions Between States

    To animate transitions:

    \list 1
        \li Select \uicontrol View > \uicontrol Views >

            \image qmldesigner-transition-editor-startup.png "Empty Transition Editor"
        \li Select the \inlineimage icons/plus.png
            (\uicontrol {Add Transition}) button to add a transition. This

        \li Move the blue bar next to the component or property name to set
            the start and end frame of the animation of the property. Pull its
            left and right edges to set the duration of the animation.
        \li To attach an \l{Editing Easing Curves}{easing curve} to the
            selected transition, select the \inlineimage curve_editor.png
            (\uicontrol {Easing Curve Editor (C)}) button.
    \endlist
