CHAPTER 1
32
A Tour of Adobe Premiere
You have trimmed the Out point of the Cyclers.mov clip. Since you trimmed the clip using
a ripple edit, the subsequent clips have followed suit, shifting to the left
.

Select the selection tool ( ), since you are done with ripple editing.
Now you’ll move on to applying a transition between clips.
Adding a transition
A
transition
is a change from one scene to the next, or from one clip to another. The simplest
transition is the
cut
, where the last frame of one clip leads directly into the first frame of the
next. By placing the first two clips together—Boys.mov and Cyclers.mov—you created a cut
between them.
To add texture, nuance, or attention-getting special effects between scenes, you can use special
transitions available in Premiere 5.0, such as dissolves, wipes, and zooms. In this tour, you’ll use
the Cross Dissolve transition.

Choose Window > Show Transitions.
The Transitions palette appears, displaying the available transitions. Each icon graphically
represents how the transition works. You can also animate these icons to see a dynamic view
of each transition. Do that now.

Click the small black arrow ( ) in the upper right corner of the Transitions palette,
and then choose Animate.
