Applying transitions
To place a transition between two clips (centered on the cut line), the clips must be on the same track, with no space between them. As you drag
the transition to a Timeline panel, you can adjust the alignment interactively. Whether or not the clips have trimmed frames determines how you
can align the transition as you place it between the clips. The pointer changes to indicate the alignment options as you move it over the cut:
If both clips contain trimmed frames at the cut, you can center the transition over the cut or you can align it on either side of the cut so that it
either starts or ends at the cut.
If neither clip contains trimmed frames, the transition automatically centers over the cut and repeats frames from the first clip, or from the
second clip, or from both clips, as needed to fill the transition duration. Diagonal bars appear on transitions that use repeated frames.
If only the first clip contains trimmed frames, the transition automatically snaps to the In point of the next clip. The transition uses the first
clip’s trimmed frames for the transition and does not repeat frames from the second clip.
If only the second clip contains trimmed frames, then the transition snaps to the Out point of the first clip. The transition uses the second
clip’s trimmed frames for the transition and does not repeat frames from the first clip.
The default duration of a transition, for either audio or video, is set to 1 second. If a transition contains trimmed frames, but not enough to fill
the transition duration, Premiere Pro adjusts the duration to match the frames. You can adjust the duration and alignment of a transition after
you place it.
Transition commands operate on all merged audio track items together. However, timeline targeting must be enabled to apply the default
audio transition to multiple audio tracks at one time. The desired audio transition must be the user selected default, and you must use the Apply
Audio Transition command. If you drag and drop the transition, it will be applied to a single audio track only.
Apply a transition between two clips
1. In the Effects panel, find the transition you want to apply. You’ll need to expand the Video Transitions bin, and then expand the bin
containing the transition you want to use.
2. To place a transition between two clips, drag the transition to the cut line between two clips, and release the mouse when you see the
Center At Cut icon .
As you drag over heads or tails of clips in a Timeline panel, you can see the area covered by the transition outlined.
3. If a dialog box appears containing transition settings, specify options and click OK.
To preview the transition, play the sequence or drag the current-time indicator through the transition.
Apply a single-sided transition
1. In the Effects panel, find the transition you want to apply. You’ll need to expand the Video Transitions bin, and then expand the bin
containing the transition you want to use.
2. To place a transition on a single cut, Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) the transition into a Timeline panel. Release the
mouse when you see either the End At Cut or Start At Cut icon.
Aligns the end of the transition to the end of the first clip.
Aligns the beginning of the transition to the beginning of the second clip.
