CHAPTER 5 204
Adding Transitions
Using the Transitions palette
Premiere includes 75 transitions, which you choose from the Transitions palette. In the palette,
icons represent the way each transition works, where A is the first clip and B is the second.
To help you choose, you can animate these icons and display brief descriptions. In addition,
you can preview the transition effect with actual frames from the two clips involved in the
transition: see “Changing transition settings” on page 210. You can also save and load a custom
list of transitions to share with other Adobe Premiere users or for use on different projects.
