# Settings tab (transitions & timing)

# ⚙️ How do I use the Scene Settings tab (transitions & timing)?

The Settings tab contains scene-level controls like duration, transitions, and the option to delete a scene. Use it to fine-tune timing and manage scene structure.
Scene-level configuration: visual fit, background, transitions, timing, image animations, and scene management.

###### Scene settings you can change

* Scene timeline strip: add ➕, duplicate, navigate ← →, delete 🗑
* Visual Fit: Cover (fills the frame) and other fit options
* Background: None / Gradient / Color / Blur
* Transition: No Transition dropdown (choose transition style between scenes)

* Scene End Pause: 0 seconds default (add a hold at the end of the scene)
* Delete Scene: permanently removes this scene


**Tips**
Here are some tips to get the best results:
* Duplicate scenes from the timeline strip to reuse a visual with different narration
* Scene End Pause is useful for dramatic beats - adds a moment of stillness
* Use a blurred background for portrait scenes with negative space around the subject
