How to Make Transitions in Adobe Premiere
3
Premiere TransitionsArranging Clips

• To include a transition in your project, place
  your first clip on the Video 1A track and the
  second clip on the Video 1B track.
• Make sure the clips overlap each other. The
  amount of overlap will be the length of the
  transition. Usually, 15 to 30 frames works great
  for a quick transition.

  the File Menu and click on the Window option.
  Scroll down to Hide Transitions to toggle it
  to the Show Transitions mode.
• Go to the Transitions window and select a
  transition by clicking on the triangle to open a
  category of transitions.

Premiere TransitionsPlacing the Transition

• Once you have decided on the transition you want,
  simply drag it to the Transitions track on the
  timeline between the Video 1A and Video 1B
  tracks.
• The transition will fit the overlap between the
  two clips.

Premiere TransitionsPlacing and Overlap

• There are two cases for overlap and
  clip/transition placement
• If you are transitioning from the Video 1A
  track to the Video 1B track
• Make sure that the Video 1A clip extends to the
  right end of the transition and that the Video
  1B clip extends to the left end of the
  transition.
• If you are transitioning from the Video 1B
  track to the Video 1A track
• Make sure that the Video 1B clip extends to the
  right end of the transition and that the Video
  1A clip extends to the left end of the clip.

• Premiere provides some transitions that allow you
  to do even more amazing pyrotechnics in your
  projects
• You can choose the corner from which the
  transition begins, as in a Radial Wipe. (See
  the red triangle to the bottom left of the B.)

  some transitions. Move the slider for the
  Border parameter and then double click the
