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.
Note: In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, 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 .
Note: 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.
End At Cut icon Aligns the end of the transition to the end of the first clip.
Start At Cut icon Aligns the beginning of the transition to the beginning of the second clip.
Note: As you drag over heads or tails of clips in a Timeline panel, you can see the area covered by the transition outlined.
To place a transition at the end of a clip that is not adjacent to another clip, drag and drop the transition. Don’t Ctrl-drag (Windows) or
Command-drag (Mac OS). The transition automatically becomes single-sided.
To preview the transition, play the sequence or drag the current-time indicator through the transition.
Specify and apply default transitions
You can specify a video transition and an audio transition as default transitions and quickly apply them between clips in a sequence. A red outline
marks default transition icons in the Effects panel. Cross Dissolve and Constant Power Crossfade are preset as the video and audio default
transitions.
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 want to apply the default transition to most or all of the clips in a sequence, consider using the Automate To Sequence command.
Automate To Sequence places the default video and audio transition between all the clips it adds. See Add clips to a sequence automatically.
Specify a default transition
1. Choose Window > Effects and expand the Video Transitions or Audio Transitions bin.
2. Select the transition that you want to make the default.
3. Click the Menu button for the Effects panel, or right-click the transition.
4. Choose Set Selected As Default Transition.
