Review answers

1  ere are two ways to do that. 1: select Edit > Preferences > General and

change the Video Transition Duration from the default 30 frames (one second) to

whatever length you want. Two: with the E ects panel tab open, click the Fly-out

Menu, select Default Transition Duration.  at too opens the General Preferences

dialog box.

2 Start typing the transition name in the E ects panel Contains: box. As you

type, Premiere Pro will display all e ects and transitions (audio and video) that

have that letter combination anywhere within their name. Type more letters to

narrow down your search.

3 Drag and drop the replacement transition on top of the transition you’re

rejecting.  e new one automatically replaces the old one.

4 Click on the newly placed transition to select it.  at displays its parameters

in the E ect Controls panel.

5 Simple. Check the Reverse box in the E ect Controls panel.  at switches the

movement from starting small and ending full screen to starting full screen and

ending small.

6 Drag the edge of the transition rectangle in the Timeline, do the same thing

in the E ect Controls panel A/B timeline, or change the Duration value in the

E ect Controls panel.

7 Apply a Frame Hold on the In Point or Out Point of the  nal clip. Use the

Trim or Rate Stretch tool to adjust its length to 5 seconds. If you use the Trim tool

and you selected Hold on the Out Point in the Frame Hold window, the out point

will change as you trim away frames at the end of the clip. Using Rate Stretch

retains the out-point. You then apply the Curtain transition to the end of that clip,

click the Reverse check box, and stretch the transition rectangle so it covers the

entire clip.

 e Premiere Pro Titler is a multi-

faceted, feature-rich text and shape

creation tool. You can use it to build

text—of any size, color or style—with

borders, beveled edges, shadows,

textures, and sheens. Your Titler-

designed text and objects can run

superimposed over video as static titles,

rolling credits, or as stand-alone clips.
