| 2 | How do you track down a transition by name? |
| 3 | How do you replace a transition with another one? |
| 4 | You apply a transition but it does not show up in the Effect Controls panel. Why not? |
| 5 | Some transitions start as small squares, circles or other geometric shapes then grow to reveal the next clip. How to you get those transitions to start with large geometric shapes that shrink to reveal the next clip? |
| 6 | Explain three ways to change the duration of a transition. |
| 7 | You want your video to end with a 5 second curtain close over a freeze frame. How do you do that? |
| 1 | There 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 Effects panel tab open, click the Fly-out Menu, select Default Transition Duration. That too opens the General Preferences dialog box. |
| 2 | Start typing the transition name in the Effects panel Contains: box. As you type, Premiere Pro will display all effects 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. The new one automatically replaces the old one. |
| 4 | Click on the newly placed transition to select it. That displays its parameters in the Effect Controls panel. |
| 5 | Simple. Check the Reverse box in the Effect Controls panel. That 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 Effect Controls panel A/B timeline, or change the Duration value in the Effect Controls panel. |
| 7 | Apply a Frame Hold on the In Point or Out Point of the final 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. |
