Morph Cut transition options

When you apply Morph Cut, a transition is created using default settings. You can fine-tune the transition using the Effect Controls panel or Timeline.

Modify transition using the Effect Controls panel

The following controls in the Effect Controls panel help you adjust the duration of the transition and align it accurately.

Duration

The default duration of a video transition is 30 frames.

Use the Preferences dialog to change the default transition before applying a transition. Enter a new default for Video Transition Default Duration in the General section.

To change the duration of a transition after applying a transition, enter a new duration in the Duration field in the Effect Controls panel.

Alignment

Aligns the transition to be automatically centered on the edit point between the two clips with the Center At Cut option selected.

For finer control, you can drag the transition slightly left or right in the Effect Controls timeline. Premiere Pro then creates an asymmetrical transition that isn't centered on the edit point.

For more information on modifying transitions using the Effect Controls panel, see Modifying and customizing transitions.

Modify transition using the Timeline panel

Zoom into the timeline to clearly see the transition.

Duration

To change the duration of the transition, double-click the transition in a Timeline panel and enter the new duration in the Set Transition Duration dialog.

You can also lengthen or shorten the transition by dragging the edges of the transition as desired.
