Hi, this is Margaret from Noble Desktop. Today, we will be talking about video transitions.

One thing editors can do if they want to have a lot of transitions is to highlight a series of clips and use the default cross dissolve by pressing Command + D. The cross dissolve is located in the project's effects panel under "Dissolve".

You can also set a new duration for your video transitions by going to Premiere Pro preferences and changing the timeline video transition default to whatever time you'd like.

Additionally, there are fun video transitions located in the Effects panel such as the whip transition in the slide category. You can also use a slide transition, dip to white, and dip to black to achieve different looks. There is also a VR transition that can work with non-VR 360 footage.

I hope you've enjoyed this video on transitions. This has been Margaret from Noble Desktop.
