Work with audio transitions

You can apply crossfades for audio transitions between clips. An audio fade is analogous to a video transition. For a crossfade, you add an audio transition between two adjacent audio clips on the same track. To fade in or fade out, you add a crossfade transition to either end of a single clip. Premiere Pro includes three types of crossfade: Constant Gain, Constant Power, and Exponential Fade.

For a video tutorial that demonstrates the use of audio transitions to mix ambient audio (room tone) into gaps in an audio track, see the Adobe website.

Specify the default audio transition

  1. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) either Constant Gain or Constant Power in the Effects panel.
  2. Choose Set Selected As Default Transition from the context menu.

Set the default duration for audio transitions

  1. Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > General (Mac OS).
  2. In the Preferences dialog box, enter a value for the Audio Transition Default Duration.
