Transition Assistant: The Free Plugin to work with Transitions Effects
Introduction
Transition Assistant helps editors work with transitions effects in Adobe Premiere Pro. Making it easier for editors to apply transitions that they want, at scale, with the ability to change and or remove them.
What is Transition Assistant?
Transition Assistant is a free tool in the Phantom Plugin to help users apply, remove, and change transitions effects in Adobe Premiere at scale. This could be used to help editors create better captions/graphics using Premiere Pro's default Transitions without the need to individually copy and paste effects one by one.
Check out our video about it!
Features
Transition Effects Apply
Apply Premiere Pro default transitions effects to all selected clips. Choose between applying based on percentage of clip duration or by your preferred duration length.
This feature is perfect for:
- Creating consistent transitions across multiple clips
- Saving hours on repetitive editing tasks
- Experimenting with transition timing quickly
Remove Transition
Does exactly what it says. Remove transitions of your selected clips. Have the removal options to choose between the front, end or on both sides of the clip.
Use this when you need to:
- Clean up existing transitions
- Remove unwanted effects from a section of your timeline
- Start fresh with new transition choices
Scatter Clips
The scatter function offsets every other selected clip by 1 track. This helps video editors have better control with transition effects in Premiere Pro in conjunction with our other tools.
This is especially useful for:
- Creating complex multi-layer transitions
- Building A/B roll sequences with precise alignment
- Organizing clips for advanced transition work
