Chapter 7: Applying transitions
Applying transitions to clips
Previewing available transitions
You can access available transitions in the Transitions panel (click Transitions on the Action bar).
Quick view: All the available transitions appear as thumbnails in the Transitions panel. The Quick view contains a
subset of the transitions available in the Expert view.
Expert view: The transitions are organized into categories. You can narrow a search for transitions by choosing a
transition type, such as Dissolve, from the Category menu. You can also search for a transition by typing its name in
the search box. The Expert view has more transitions compared to the Quick view.
Video transitions have animated thumbnail previews that show how they affect clips. Select a transition to set its
thumbnail in motion. You can preview an animated thumbnail transition in the Transition panel without having to
apply it to a clip.
Transitions panel
Adobe Premiere Elements includes two audio transitions in the Crossfade category: Constant Power and Constant Gain.
Though both provide fades, they differ slightly. Constant Power creates a smoother-sounding fade, while Constant Gain,
though mathematically linear, often sounds abrupt.
1 In the Quick view or the Expert view, click Transitions on the Action bar. The Transitions panel appears.
2 Click the thumbnail for any video transition to set it in motion.
