00:00:02.008 --> 00:00:03.860
<v Narrator>Right after video transitions,</v>

2
00:00:03.860 --> 00:00:06.809
we need to add our Audio Transitions.

3
00:00:06.809 --> 00:00:09.539
In the clips that I've put together,

4
00:00:09.539 --> 00:00:13.648
there are a couple places where the transition

5
00:00:13.648 --> 00:00:17.372
is very abrupt and an audio transition can be helpful.

6
00:00:17.372 --> 00:00:19.850
Within the Effects tab, you have

7
00:00:19.850 --> 00:00:21.756
your Audio Transitions folder,

8
00:00:21.756 --> 00:00:23.661
under that you have your cross fade,

9
00:00:23.661 --> 00:00:27.591
which is the only audio transitions option in Premier Pro.

10
00:00:27.591 --> 00:00:29.605
There are a few different options.

11
00:00:29.605 --> 00:00:33.017
Constant Gain, Constant Power, and Exponential Fade.

12
00:00:33.017 --> 00:00:35.596
What happens, and I'll just add one

13
00:00:35.596 --> 00:00:37.521
to the very beginning of this clip.

14
00:00:37.521 --> 00:00:39.938
Let's just add Constant Gain.

15
00:00:41.633 --> 00:00:46.560
Constant Gain will increase the volume of your clip

16
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.195
at the same rate from the beginning to the end

17
00:00:50.195 --> 00:00:51.511
of the transition

18
00:00:51.511 --> 00:00:53.299
<v Man>The same year I was diagnosed,</v>

19
00:00:53.299 --> 00:00:54.529
that summer-

20
00:00:54.529 --> 00:00:59.138
<v Narrator>So it's a consistent gain going from or to</v>

21
00:00:59.138 --> 00:01:03.388
being able to be heard to all the way in audible.

22
00:01:03.388 --> 00:01:06.052
Constant Power is a little bit different

23
00:01:06.052 --> 00:01:09.469
because it increases the volume of a clip

24
00:01:10.436 --> 00:01:14.159
at a differing rate - it starts out very fast

25
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.621
and then it slows into that fade.

26
00:01:17.621 --> 00:01:20.104
It's a little bit hard to explain

27
00:01:20.104 --> 00:01:22.814
but Constant Power and Exponential Fade basically

28
00:01:22.814 --> 00:01:24.426
do a very similar thing.

29
00:01:24.426 --> 00:01:27.087
Constant Power is the main default transition

30
00:01:27.087 --> 00:01:31.014
and the one that I use for all of my transitions.

31
00:01:31.014 --> 00:01:33.514
If I put it between two clips,

32
00:01:35.123 --> 00:01:36.790
you can see and hear

33
00:01:37.731 --> 00:01:39.398
that the second clip

34
00:01:40.945 --> 00:01:43.947
starts to come in right here

35
00:01:43.947 --> 00:01:47.197
and the first clip fades out over here.

36
00:01:48.858 --> 00:01:53.317
We can increase or decrease the size of the audio transition

37
00:01:53.317 --> 00:01:55.542
by clicking in or out of the edge

38
00:01:55.542 --> 00:01:57.386
<v Man>Everyone that I-</v>

39
00:01:57.386 --> 00:01:59.658
<v Narrator>We can even copy and paste these transitions</v>

40
00:01:59.658 --> 00:02:02.224
just like we did for the video by selecting it,

41
00:02:02.224 --> 00:02:05.229
pressing Command C or Control C if you're on a PC,

42
00:02:05.229 --> 00:02:08.610
selecting the video or the audio track

43
00:02:08.610 --> 00:02:10.693
where you want to add it

44
00:02:10.693 --> 00:02:14.064
and pasting it, Command V or Control V.

45
00:02:14.064 --> 00:02:15.787
<v Man>Knew in their mama's-</v>

46
00:02:15.787 --> 00:02:18.016
<v Narrator>For a transition like this,</v>

47
00:02:18.016 --> 00:02:20.349
we might it to be very short

48
00:02:22.024 --> 00:02:23.633
and then when you play through it,

49
00:02:23.633 --> 00:02:27.216
just nudging it to the right or to the left

50
00:02:28.124 --> 00:02:32.124
to see what it sounds like will help you understand

51
00:02:32.124 --> 00:02:34.507
which part you need to add it to.

52
00:02:34.507 --> 00:02:36.848
<v Man>I knew in their mama's-</v>

53
00:02:36.848 --> 00:02:38.783
<v Narrator>That sounds pretty good.</v>

54
00:02:38.783 --> 00:02:41.029
Just like there was with the video transitions,

55
00:02:41.029 --> 00:02:42.629
there's a keyboard shortcut

56
00:02:42.629 --> 00:02:44.736
for adding audio transitions to a clip.

57
00:02:44.736 --> 00:02:48.444
Select that transition then press Command Shift D,

58
00:02:48.444 --> 00:02:50.254
Control Shift D if you're on a PC.

59
00:02:50.254 --> 00:02:54.110
And that adds the Constant Power transition.

60
00:02:54.110 --> 00:02:58.277
That's how you add a Audio Transition to your timeline.

61
00:02:59.727 --> 00:03:04.177
Go ahead and do that to your own project right now

62
00:03:04.177 --> 00:03:06.299
because I'm sure there are a lot of places

63
00:03:06.299 --> 00:03:09.479
where you might need an actual audio transition.

64
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:10.791
We'll see you in the next lesson.
