Create an Image Mask transition
You can use a black‑and‑white bitmap image as a transition mask. The first clip replaces the black area in the image, and the second clip replaces the white areas in the image. If you use a grayscale image for the mask, pixels containing 50% or more gray convert to black, and pixels containing less than 50% gray convert to white.
Apply an Image Mask transition
From the Transitions panel, select the Special Effect
menu, and locate the Image Mask transition.
Drag the Image Mask transition to a cut between clips
in the Expert view timeline.
In the Image Mask Settings dialog box, click Select Image.
Locate and select the image file you want to use as a
transition mask, and click Open. The image appears in the
Image Mask Settings dialog box.
Click OK. The Transitions contextual control
appears. Adjust the properties of the transition, if necessary,
and click Done.

Create a Gradient Wipe transition
Adobe Premiere Elements can use any importable grayscale image as a gradient wipe. In a gradient wipe, the second clip fills the black area of the grayscale image and then shows through each level of gray as the transition progresses until the white area becomes transparent. When you create a Gradient Wipe transition, you can specify the softness of the transition’s edges.
