A transition is an effect added between pieces of media to create an animated link between them. Transitions are used to move a scene from one shot to the next. Premiere Pro provides a list of transitions that you can apply to a sequence. A transition can be a subtle crossfade or a stylized effect.
Different transitions available in Premiere Pro are:
By default, placing one clip next to another in a Timeline panel results in a cut, where the last frame of one clip is followed by the first frame of the next. Transitions are usually placed on a cut line between shots. You can also apply a transition only to the beginning or end of a clip.
Before you apply a transition, trim the clips. Then, apply the transition. The more you trim, the more availability of frames you can use in the transition.
TIP: Trim at least 15 frames off of each clip for a centered 1:00 transition.
Clip handles are extra footage before the clip's in-point and after the clip's out-point that you can use to manipulate a transition.
If the source media does not contain enough frames, clip handles may not be present as there is no extra footage to add the transition. When you add the transition, Premiere Pro warns you that there is ‘Insufficient Media’ and that the transition will contain repeated frames. Premiere Pro automatically creates its Clip Handles by repeating the end frames to form a freeze frame of the clip. The transition appears in the Timeline panel with diagonal warning bars through it.
When you add a transition, a colored overlay appears over the clips in the timeline. The transition does not shorten the clip. It continues the clip from the In/Out point.

Description |
Result |
---|---|---|
|
Sufficient outgoing (blue) and incoming handles (pink) |
You can add a transition. Here you could add a standard 1:00 transition. |
|
Insufficient outgoing and incoming handles |
You can add a short transition. Here you could add a centered transition with a duration of :15. |
|
No handles |
You cannot add a transition. You'll see an "Insufficient content" error message or an "X" next to the Selection tool. Ripple trim both sides of the edit point to fix this. |
|
Insufficient outgoing handle |
You can add a short transition. Roll the edit point to the left to restore handle. |
|
No outgoing handle |
Your best choice here would be a transition that begins at the cut. For a centered transition, you'd need to ripple trim the outgoing clip. |
|
Insufficient incoming handle |
You can add a short transition. Roll the edit point to the right to restore handle. |
|
No incoming handle |
Your best choice here would be a transition that ends at the cut. For 1:00, centered transition, roll the edit point to the right. |
While adding a transition between clips, make sure you have a clip handle at the end of the first clip and at the beginning of the next clip.
When you don’t have enough clip handles for the transition, the easiest solution is to re-edit the clip. Select the clip in the timeline. Use the Ripple edit tool to trim back the clip. Now you can add the transition.

To place a transition between two clips (centered on the cut line), the clips must be on the same track, with no space between them.
To apply a transition between two clips, do the following:
Choose Window > Effects.
Expand the Video Transitions or Audio Transitions bin.
Expand the bin containing the transition you want to use.
To place a transition between two clips, drag the transition to the cut line between two clips, and release the mouse when you see the Center At Cut icon.
As you drag over heads or tails of clips in the Timeline panel, you can see the area covered by the transition outlined.
To preview the transition, play the sequence or drag the current-time indicator through the transition.
Transitions are typically double-sided as they get applied to both clips. Single sided transitions are only applied on a single clip. This is useful when you don’t have a clip handle.
Using single-sided transitions, you have more control over how clips transition.
For example, you can create the effect of one clip departing using the Venetian Blinds transition, and the next clip fading in using Cross Dissolve.
In a Timeline panel or the Effect Controls panel, a double-sided transition has a dark diagonal line through it, while a single-sided transition is split diagonally with one half dark and one half light.
A. Double-sided transition B. Single-sided transitions
To apply a single-sided transition, do the following:
In the Effects panel, find the transition you want to apply. Expand the Video Transitions or Audio Transitions bin. Then, expand the bin containing the transition you want to use.
To place a transition on a single cut, Ctrl+drag (Win) or Cmd+drag (macOS) the transition into a Timeline panel. Release the mouse when you see either the End At Cut or Start At Cut icon.
To place a transition at the end of a clip that is not next to another clip, drag-and-drop the transition. Don’t Ctrl+drag (Win) or Cmd+drag (macOS). The transition automatically becomes single-sided.
To preview the transition, play the sequence or drag the current-time indicator through the transition.
You can set a video transition and an audio transition as default transitions. Cross Dissolve and Constant Power Crossfade are preset as the video and audio default transitions. A blue outline marks default transition icon in the Effects panel.
If you use another transition more frequently, you can set it as the default. When you change the default transition setting, you change the default for all projects. Changing the default transition doesn’t affect transitions already applied to sequences.
If you want to apply the default transition to most or all the clips in a sequence, consider using the Automate To Sequence command. Automate To Sequence places the default video and audio transition between all the clips it adds. For more information, see Add clips to a sequence automatically.
Choose Window > Effects and expand the Video Transitions or Audio Transitions bin.
Choose Set Selected As Default Transition.
Choose Edit > Preferences > Timeline (Win), or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Timeline (macOS).
Click the Effects panel menu button. Choose Set Default Transition Duration.
Change the value for the Video Transition Default Duration or Audio Transition Default Duration, and then click OK.
You can apply the default video and audio transitions to any selection of two or more clips. The default transitions are applied to every edit point where two selected clips touch. The placement does not depend upon the position of the current-time indicator or on whether the clips lie on targeted tracks. The default transitions are not applied where a selected clip touches a non-selected clip or no clip at all.
Select Sequence > Apply Default Transitions To Selection.
You can copy any transition in a sequence and paste it to any other cut line on a track of the same type: video transitions to video tracks, and audio transitions to audio tracks.
Select Edit > Copy, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C (Win) or Cmd+C (macOS).
Do one of the following:
If you paste a transition without selecting edit points, the transitions are pasted to edit points at or near the playhead, without overriding track targeting.
Select Edit > Paste, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V (Win) or Cmd+V (macOS).
To replace a transition, drag the new video or audio transition from the Effects panel onto the existing transition in the sequence.
When you replace a transition, the alignment and duration are preserved. However, this discards the settings for the old transition and replaces it with the default settings for the new transition.
