Narrator: Right after video transitions,
we need to add our Audio Transitions.
In the clips that I've put together,
there are a couple places where the transition
is very abrupt and an audio transition can be helpful.
Within the Effects tab, you have
your Audio Transitions folder,
under that you have your cross fade,
which is the only audio transitions option in Premier Pro.
There are a few different options.
Constant Gain, Constant Power, and Exponential Fade.
What happens, and I'll just add one
to the very beginning of this clip.
Let's just add Constant Gain.
Constant Gain will increase the volume of your clip
at the same rate from the beginning to the end
of the transition
Man: The same year I was diagnosed,
that summer-
Narrator: So it's a consistent gain going from or to
being able to be heard to all the way in audible.
Constant Power is a little bit different
because it increases the volume of a clip
at a differing rate - it starts out very fast
and then it slows into that fade.
It's a little bit hard to explain
but Constant Power and Exponential Fade basically
do a very similar thing.
Constant Power is the main default transition
and the one that I use for all of my transitions.
If I put it between two clips,
you can see and hear
that the second clip
starts to come in right here
and the first clip fades out over here.
We can increase or decrease the size of the audio transition
by clicking in or out of the edge
Man: Everyone that I-
Narrator: We can even copy and paste these transitions
just like we did for the video by selecting it,
pressing Command C or Control C if you're on a PC,
selecting the video or the audio track
where you want to add it
and pasting it, Command V or Control V.
Man: Knew in their mama's-
Narrator: For a transition like this,
we might it to be very short
and then when you play through it,
just nudging it to the right or to the left
to see what it sounds like will help you understand
which part you need to add it to.
Man: I knew in their mama's-
Narrator: That sounds pretty good.
Just like there was with the video transitions,
there's a keyboard shortcut
for adding audio transitions to a clip.
Select that transition then press Command Shift D,
Control Shift D if you're on a PC.
And that adds the Constant Power transition.
That's how you add a Audio Transition to your timeline.
Go ahead and do that to your own project right now
because I'm sure there are a lot of places
where you might need an actual audio transition.
We'll see you in the next lesson.
