112 LESSON 6
Adding Video Transitions
Review questions 1 Describe two ways to apply the default transition to multiple clips.
2 How do you track down a transition by name?
3 How do you replace a transition with another one?
4 Some transitions start as small squares, circles, or other geometric shapes and then
grow to reveal the next clip. How do you get those transitions to start with large
geometric shapes that shrink to reveal the next clip?
5 Explain three ways to change the duration of a transition.
6 What is an easy way to fade audio at the beginning or end of a clip?
Review answers 1 Use the Automate to Sequence feature, or select clips already on the Timeline and
choose Sequence > Apply Default Transition to Selection.
2 Start typing the transition name in the Contains text box in the Effects panel. As you
type, Adobe Premiere Pro displays all effects and transitions (audio and video) that
have that letter combination anywhere in their names. Type more letters to narrow
down your search.
3 Drag the replacement transition on top of the transition you’re rejecting. The new one
automatically replaces the old one.
4 Select the Reverse option in the Effect Controls panel. That switches the movement
from starting small and ending full-screen to starting full-screen and ending small.
5 Drag the edge of the transition rectangle in the Timeline, do the same thing in the
Effect Controls panel’s A/B timeline, or change the Duration value in the Effect
Controls panel.
6 An easy way to fade audio in or out is to apply an audio crossfade transition to the
beginning or end of a clip.
