It\u2019s a timeless classic, although unfortunately, it is becoming more uncommon in\u00a0contemporary cinema. Nonetheless, it&#8217;s a very <strong>easy transition to employ<\/strong>. If you want to use one in Premiere Pro CC, you very simply drag a cross dissolve\/film dissolve from the <strong>effects library<\/strong> over to your <strong>edit point<\/strong> on the timeline. You can then click the end of the transition and drag it away from the edit point to extend (or decrease) the duration. Holding shift will extend only one side.\u00a0The degree to which\u00a0you can expand the transition depends on\u00a0available coverage between\u00a0the two clips.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-91527 size-full\" title=\"Take Control Of Your Transitions with The Effects Panel \u2014 Cross Dissolve\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-0.jpg\" alt=\"Take Control Of Your Transitions with The Effects Panel \u2014 Cross Dissolve\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-0.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-0.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-0.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-0.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-0.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-0.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-0.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Applying a transition to an edit point is a pretty simple task. However, one thing that often gets missed in video tutorials and articles is the <strong>transition effects panel<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re a veteran Premiere user, I&#8217;m sure you know where this panel is and what it does, but if you&#8217;re fairly new to Premiere, and you&#8217;ve been searching for how\u00a0to <strong>customize a transition<\/strong>, look no further.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-steps\">The Steps<\/h3>\n<p>In Premiere Pro, when you apply an effect to a clip, it appears in the <strong>effects control panel<\/strong> here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-91529 size-full\" title=\"Take Control Of Your Transitions with The Effects Panel \u2014 Effects Control Panel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-2.jpg\" alt=\"Take Control Of Your Transitions with The Effects Panel \u2014 Effects Control Panel\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-2.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-2.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-2.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-2.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-2.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-2.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-2.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although there is a <strong>cross dissolve<\/strong> on\u00a0this clip, it doesn&#8217;t appear in the panel with the other effects. This is because a dissolve, or any transition, affects two clips. The <strong>customizable parameters<\/strong> don&#8217;t actually appear on the clip; rather, they appear in their own panel, which will appear when you click the transition itself.<\/p>\n<p>Since most cross dissolves or transitions are simple, you don\u2019t often need to do anything other than extend the duration. However, when you <em>do<\/em> need to <strong>customize specific elements of a dissolve<\/strong>, the transition effects panel is where you would do so.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-91530 size-full\" title=\"Take Control Of Your Transitions with The Effects Panel \u2014 Transition Effects Panel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-3.jpg\" alt=\"Take Control Of Your Transitions with The Effects Panel \u2014 Transition Effects Panel\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-3.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-3.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-3.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-3.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-3.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-3.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dissolve-Transition-Panel-3.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the very top, there is\u00a0a play button that\u00a0will render<strong> a small preview<\/strong> of how the\u00a0transition will look.
