Adding Transitions
About transitions
By default, placing two clips next to each other in the Timeline results in a
cut
, where the
last frame of one clip is followed by the first frame of the next. When you want to
emphasize or add a special effect to a scene change, you can add a variety of
transitions
,
such as wipes, zooms, and dissolves. Apply transitions to the timeline using the Effects
window, and edit them using the Timeline and the Effect Controls window.
In most cases, you don’t want transitions to occur during the essential action in a scene.
For this reason, transitions work best with handles, or extra frames, beyond the In and Out
points set for the clip. (See “About clip handles and transitions” on page 170.)
Finding video transitions
Transitions are available in the Video Transitions bin in the Effects window. Within the
Video Transitions bin, transitions are organized by kind, in bins. You can customize the
Effects window to group transitions together in bins; see “Working with the Effects
window” on page 243. Changes you make to the Effects window affect all projects.
To display transitions:
Choose Window > Effects, expand the Video Transitions bin, and expand any Video
Transitions
bin.
Using default transitions
While you can manually drag transitions to the timeline, you can instantly apply the
default transition between clips by using the Apply Video Transition or Apply Audio
Transition command. By default, Adobe Premiere Pro uses Cross Dissolve as the default
video transition and Constant Power as the default audio transition. Default transition
icons are marked by a red outline in the Effects window. If you use another transition more
frequently, you can set it as the default. When you change the default transition setting,
you change the default for all projects. Changing the default transition doesn’t affect
transitions already applied to sequences.
If you are preparing to add clips to the timeline and you know you want to apply the
default transition to most or all of the clips, consider using the Automate To Sequence
command, which can put the default video and audio transition between every clip it
adds. (See “Adding clips from the Project window automatically” on page 134.)
To specify a default transition:
1
If necessary, choose Window > Effects.
2
Expand the Video Transitions or Audio Transitions bin.
3
Expand any bin, and select the transition that you want to make the default.
