What you'll learn in this lesson:

  • To add video transitions between clips on the Timeline
  • To create a slideshow from still images
  • To adjust preferences to set the default transition type and duration

Adding Transitions to Video

The cuts-only editing approach from the previous lesson is the standard for dramatic television and film editing; however, you can use the transitions approach when you want to create a seamless blend from one video clip to another.

Starting up

In this lesson, you will work with the project files from the pr05lessons folder. Make sure that you have loaded the prlessons folder onto your hard drive from the supplied DVD. The Starting up section at the beginning of this book provides detailed information about loading lesson files, resetting your workspace, locating missing media, and opening the files in CC. If you have not already done so, please review these instructions before starting this lesson.

When opening the Premiere Pro project files used in this lesson you may experience a missing media message. You must locate any missing media before trying to proceed through the lessons. Please refer to the “Locating missing media” in the Starting up section of this book.
