# Using Source Transition Effect

You can apply animations to sources using **Source transition effects.**

Set the **Show Transition** and **Hide Transition** from the source’s right-click menu. You can configure the transition type, duration, and properties. Alternatively, you can copy a transition from another source and paste it to the desired source.

Each transition effect has slightly different properties, so you can customize them to create your own transition. Click **Preview Transition** to test the effect before applying it.

Clicking the eye icon in the **Source** tab will show or hide the source with the applied transition effect.
