The other video transitions in the pack are watermarked for you to try. This pack comes with a couple of free transitions including the Impact Dissolve. Just download the \"Transition Pack 1 Demo\" from our website. Next time you would like to add a dissolve, just select a cut and press Command 'D' (Control 'D' for Windows users). Right click the Impact Dissolve in the effects browser and select 'Set as default transition'.

I would say: from now on your default video transition should be The Impact Dissolve. To keep the colors more vibrant, select the transition, go to the effects controls tab Īnd change the dissolve type to 'Film Dissolve'. If we apply a dissolve in between two clips, colors may become a bit dull right in the middle of the transition. Impact Dissolve comes with an added option for doing a 'Film Dissolve' Ĭompared to the Cross Dissolve the Impact Dissolve will feel far more elegant. The scopes indicate a more graceful start and ending of the transition. So let's exchange the Cross Dissolve for the Impact Dissolve and see what is happening in the Lumetri Scopes. This is the reason why we've re-created the cross dissolve and called it: Impact Dissolve. We would rather like to use a smooth curve like so. One of the reasons why the default cross dissolve feels rough, is because it works with a linear curve.Ī linear curve is basically a straight line that goes from zero to a hundred percent. This is undesired behavior if you like to create a smooth dissolve. I can try to fix this issue by changing the length of the transition - Let's make it twice as long - But still the first frame goes from zero to about 16 percent. This is quite a leap which doesn't feel smooth at all. I'm using the arrow keys to play back the transition frame by frame.Īs you can see there is a huge jump from zero to about 22 percent during the first frame of the cross dissolve. Now look what happens when we apply the default cross dissolve to the white color matte. The Lumetri Scope Panel is open to visualize the color information. This option is set in the sequence settings. I'm going to demonstrate this using a sequence with a white color matte placed on top of a black background.

To overcome this, we've built a new tool for you to use.īut what exactly is wrong with the built-in Cross Dissolve The default cross dissolve built into Premiere Pro has an issue that becomes visible in certain situations. This episode we'll be talking about the Mother of all video transitions: The Dissolve.
