Working with audio transitions
Adobe Premiere Pro lets you apply crossfades for audio transitions between clips. An audio fade is analogous to a
video transition. For a crossfade, you add an audio transition between two adjacent audio clips on the same track.
Adobe Premiere Pro includes two types of crossfade: Constant Gain and Constant Power.
TheConstantGaincrossfadechangesaudioataconstantrateinandoutasittransitionsbetweenclips.Thiscrossfade
can sometimes sound abrupt.
The Constant Power crossfade creates a smooth, gradual transition, analogous to the dissolve transition between
video clips. This crossfade decreases audio for the first clip slowly at first and then quickly falls off at the end of the
transition. For the second clip, this crossfade increases audio quickly at first and then more slowly as it reaches the
end of the transition.
Constant Power is the default audio transition. To specify the default audio transition, right-click either Constant
Gain or Constant Power in the Effects panel and choose Set Selected As Default Transition from the context menu.
To set a default duration for the audio transitions, choose Edit > Preferences > General. In the Preferences dialog box,
enter a value for the Audio Transition Default Duration.
