Hello everybody and welcome back to gal today we are going to be talking about transitions, how to apply them and modify them in Premiere we’re going to start with built-in transitions and then I’m going to show you how to use this awesome 500-plus seamless transition pack by Pamela 5 so without further ado.
let’s go ahead and jump on in I have a sequence of different landscape, stock video shots from storia blocks if you guys are interested in the stock video from story blocks I’ll put a link in the description, so one thing to note when you’re applying transitions is you don’t want to overkill it you don’t overdo it you don’t want to put too many transitions every transition should have an intention or a purpose in your cut now.
I made a whole video on creative cuts and one of the cuts is a match cut if you want to watch that video put a card in the upper right but essentially, these first two shots have the same movement it’s forward movement on a drone so it’s a great match on action right it’s a very simple one but to make it even more fluid we could apply a simple cross dissolve between them so it’s more seamless and fluid the first way to apply the built and cross dissolve is by right-clicking between, the two clips and applying a default transition because by default the cross dissolve is the default transition in Premiere so if you right-click between these two clips and apply default transitions, you will see the cross dissolve is applied and let’s see how it looks looks pretty fluid if you need to make the duration longer you can just grab either end and you can see the duration appears just below it and it shows you how many more seconds you are adding.
so if you want to speed 3 seconds just stop there and you’ll see that it’s also symmetrical so there’s a same amount of raishin on the left of the cut and on the right of the cut and that’s because the alignment is Center at cut if we change this to start at cut you’ll see that the transition shifts over to start at the beginning, of the first cut or you can change it to end that cut so it’ll start towards the beginning and end at the cut more often than not you’re going to use the center out cut a couple other ways that you can change the duration that is cool to know about you can right click and you can that transition duration this way or you can go up to effect controls.
let’s say you wanted to make it two seconds you can just change it there and you can see it automatically, adapts so that is the cross dissolve another thing that you may need to do when you are editing let’s say you’re editing to the beat of the music and there’s a beat about right here and you don’t want to change the transition, what you can do is hit n on your keyboard to enable the rolling edit control and you can roll this edit cut point to meet the playhead and the transition stays the same so you can move this at any point you need and the transition remains the same it’s a pretty cool tool that I use all the time.
so the second way to apply transitions, is by going to the effects panel going to video transitions, and opening up this folder now you can see that I have a bunch of different transitions, here some of them are built-in and a few of them are paid for plugins so the dissolve folder the immersive video which are transitions, for 360 video that comes built-in premiere iris page peel slide wipe and zoom these are all built-in now if I wanted to apply a wipe between these two clips I would just open up wipe.
if you guys are also interested I have my own store where and make my own templates, for my patrons each month where you can get them for free if you join the patreon community, but if you want to buy them one off I also sell them in my store at premiere gal com slash store thanks so much for watching everyone and I’ll see you guys next time bye you
