Video Transitions and Audio Transitions

Here is the post on VIDEO TRANSITIONS AND AUDIO TRANSITIONS IN ADOBE PREMIERE PRO. Before you start reading, we recommend to check out our previous posts.

Video Transitions

  1. It is used to signify a change in time or location.
  2. One should understand edit points and handles to understand transition effects.
  3. An edit point is a point in your timeline where one clip ends and the next begins. This is often called a Cut.
  4. While editing a part of a clip into a sequence, the unused sections at the beginning and/ or end are still available but hidden. Clip handles are those unused sections.
  5. If you see a little triangle in the upper- right or upper left corner of a clip, it means you’ve reached the end of the original clip and there are no additional frames.
  6. For transitions to work, you need handles. When your clip has handles, there are no triangles displayed in the upper corner of the clip.
  7. Portions of the clip that are not normally visible will be used when you apply a transition. The outgoing clip is overlapped with the incoming clip.
  8. When you drag a new video or audio transition effect from the effect panel on the top of an existing transition, it replaces the existing effect. It preserves the alignment and duration of the previous transition. This is an easy way to swap transition effects and experience
  9. The anti-aliasing method reduces flicker.
  10. For copying a transition from one of a sequence to another, just select the transition effect icon using your mouse and choose Edit> Copy. Then move the playhead to the edit point where you want to add the transition and choose Edit> Paste.

Audio Transitions

  1. Audio transitions can be used to perfectly improve a timeline or sequence soundtrack by removing unwanted audio pops or abrupt edit. The use of a crossfade transition at the end or between audio clips is a fast way to add fade in, a fade out or fade between your audio clips.
  2. You can choose from three styles of crossfade.
  3. Constant Gain: The constant gain crossfade transitions audio by using a constant audio gain (volume) between the clips. Incoming clip fades In and Outgoing clip fades Out at an equal gain.
  4. Constant Power: This is the default audio transition in adobe premiere pro which creates a smooth transition between two audio clips. The audio level changes at the start and as well as at the end of the clip. It increases at the start and more slowly toward the end of the clip.
  5. Exponential Fade: It’s like the constant power crossfade. It is a smooth fade between clips. It uses a logarithmic curve to fade out and fade up audio.
  6. To add only an audio transition, hold down Alt (win) or option (Mac) when right-clicking to select the correct clip.
  7. Shift+ Ctrl+ D (win) or Shift+ Command+ D (Mac) is the keyboard shortcut for adding the default audio transition to an edit point near the playhead.
