Transitions in Adobe Premiere

This tutorial shows how to create transitions in Adobe Premiere. (Note: For general information about transitions, see Video Transitions.)

A transition is the way one shot changes to the next. By default, if two clips are placed next to each other in the timeline, the transition is a cut.

To make more interesting transitions such as dissolves, wipes and effects, use the transitions available in the Effects window (pictured right).

There are two types of transition: Video and audio. To apply a transition, expand the Video Transitions or Audio Transitions bin. Choose a transition to use.

Drag the desired transition to the timeline at the point where the two clips join, as illustrated below.

Example

	These two clips are placed next to each other in the timeline. Before a transition is applied, the transition is a cut.
	Drag a video transition onto the cut. The timeline will show where the transition will be placed.
	When you release the mouse, the transition is applied.
