Where to access transitions
Available transitions are listed in the Edit workspace in the Tasks panel (Figure 4) and are organized into two main
categories, Video Transitions and Audio Transitions. Video transitions have corresponding animated thumbnails that
show how they affect clips. Select a transition to set its thumbnail in motion.

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. If you use a transition frequently, you can
right-click it and choose Set Selected as Default Transition. You can then quickly find all your frequently used
transitions in the Favorites folder.
Note: 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.
