AE lowerthirds in Premiere?

[Erik Mickelson]

Please explain the easy wipe on wipe off process. I want a smooth, soft wipe pattern that is easy to apply. My current method involves, apply gradient wipe filter(click), select custom gradient box(click), select hard drive(click), select project folder(click), select graphics folder(click), select gradients folder(click), search and find specific gradient image and select(click), double click the transition(click)(click), then select the Attributes”window???(click), then select the handle and drag to the duration(click)(drag). I count 11 clicks.

Repeat for the other side of the title but add a (click) to reverse the gradient wipe.

Premiere cannot copy paste the grad wipe transition. Ever.

No copy and paste transitions ala FCP(right click, copy, select edge, paste) four clicks. I have reported this and no progress from Adobe. I guess this has been going on for years. It’s kind of like wishing Lightwave had After Effects export. Lightwave keeps asking for someone to make a feature request but it has been done for at least 10 years. This is old.

Hi Erik,

Well…

You could set up the title with the in and out transition as you like it once.
Copy and paste it as you like on the timeline to a different point in time (or a whole other sequence if necessary…) the transitions would come with it….

then choose the new title in your project panel…

hold the option key and drag the new title over the old title…

this way the title is replaced, but the transitions are preserved….

that should speed things up…

also because it’s a title (still), you can trim to any length you want.

does that help?

Asoooooo……
Thanks so much ever-wise Alex. I have never even thought to option drag. I use this technique all the time in After Effects. Hopefully the custom grad comes with the copy paste technique? I’ll try it this week.

This should save some time. Thank you.

I am having a little difficulty switching from FCP to Premiere Pro. So anything helps.

I’ve done it before….all transisiton parameters should be preserved. 🙂
