+    \section1 Using Qt Quick Animation Types
+
+    To create an animation, use an appropriate animation type for the type of
+    the property that is to be animated, and apply the animation depending on
+    the type of behavior that is required.
+
+    You can drag and drop the following QML types from \uicontrol Library
+    > \uicontrol {QML Types} > \uicontrol {Qt Quick - Animation} to
+    \uicontrol Navigator or \uicontrol {Form Editor}:
+
+    \list
+        \li \l [QML] {ColorAnimation}{Color Animation} is a specialized
+            property animation that defines an animation to be applied when a
+            color value changes.
+        \li \l [QML] {NumberAnimation}{Number Animation} is a specialized
+            property animation that defines an animation to be applied when a
+            numerical value changes.
+        \li \l [QML] {ParallelAnimation}{Parallel Animation} enables
+            animations to be run in parallel.
+        \li \l [QML] {PauseAnimation}{Pause Animation} is used in a
+            sequential animation to create a step where nothing happens, for
+            a specified duration.
+        \li \l [QML] {PropertyAction}{Property Action} immediately changes
+             a property value during an animation, without animating the
+             property change.
+        \li \l [QML] {PropertyAnimation}{Property Animation} animates
+             changes in the value of a property.
+        \li \l [QML] {ScriptAction}{Script Action} defines scripts to be
+            run during an animation.
+        \li \l [QML] {SequentialAnimation}{Sequential Animation} enables
+            animations to be run sequentially.
+    \endlist

-    To make movement between states smooth, you can animate transitions.

+//! [transition editor]
+
+    \section1 Animating Transitions Between States
+
+    To make movement between states smooth, you can use
+    \uicontrol {Transition Editor} to animate the changes between
+    states. First, you need to \l{Creating States}{add states} in
+    the \uicontrol States view and \l{Specifying Item Properties}
+    {edit some properties} that can be animated, such as colors or
+    numbers, in the \uicontrol Properties view. For example, you
+    can animate the changes in the position of an object.
+
+    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 easing curve for each transition.
+
+    Use the slider on the menu bar to the zooming level in the view.
+
+    To add transitions:
+
+    \list 1
+        \li Select \uicontrol View > \uicontrol Views >
+            \uicontrol {Transition Editor} to display the view.
+        \li Select the \inlineimage plus.png
+            (\uicontrol {Add Transition}) button to add a transition. This
+            works only if you have added at least one state and modified at
+            least one property in it.
+            \image qtquick-transition-editor-view.png "Transition Editor view"
+        \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 easing curve to a transition, select
+            \inlineimage curve_editor.png
+            (\uicontrol {Easing Curve Editor (C)}) on the toolbar. For more
+            information, see \l{Editing Easing Curves}.
+        \li To modify transition settings, select the \inlineimage animation.png
+            (\uicontrol {Transition Settings (S)}) button on the toolbar.
+            \image qtquick-transition-editor-settings.png "Transition settings"
+    \endlist
+
+    \if defined(qtcreator)
+    For an example of animating transitions between states, see
+    \l {Creating a Qt Quick Application}.
