Saving Transitions in CS6
I am using CS6 and like a lot of editors I find that a 30 frame transition is not always desirable. I tend to use transitions/dissolves that are 10 and 12 frames long. I know how to do this, but I would like to save them so i dont have to continuously go into effects and change them. When i have a project that has 50 or so dissolves, this tends to get time consuming. CS5 let me save them to a Custom Bin in my effects panel, but i cannot figure out how to do it in CS6. thanks for you help.

I haven’t tried to save transitions, but I did save an Effect (Unsharp Mask with special settings) from the Effects Panel in the Source monitor.
Via a right click? I forget.
You can also set the Default for Transitions in the Project Settings from the main menu. You can set both the default type & number of frames.
When you add a clip to the timeline from the Source monitor, you can add it automatically with the Default Transition. Probably the easiest route for you.
Good luck!
Best,

Michael thanks for your reply I do appreciate it. Saving the effects are easy. Its been so long since I had tried to save a transition in 5.5 that I guess I forgot that i have to reset the Default. I guess thats what i will do.
Maybe 6.5 can make it possible to save transitions??? That would be nice.
Have a great day.

Hello everybody,
I’m extremely disappointed, that premiere pro doesn’t allow to save transitions as presets. Can’t believe that in a software of this price range calling itself professional this is not possible. It’s vital if you’re working on projects with a lot of still photos involved or if you’re creating end credits or want to edit audio efficiently.
Just changing the standard preset transition all the time is just not efficient enough.
Please comment, please tell me this is not true!
Best regards, John

Hi Richard,
is there a solution to this meanwhile?
Can’t believe it’s not possible! Huge disappointment as critical for my work!
Cheers, J.

Unfortunatley I havent found it out. If you read up in the thread, there is a partial solution using the Set default transition.
Hope this can be fixed for next version.

Where are you Adobe Premier CS6 Team?
This should be a simple fix.
Customizing and saving any style of transitions into a Custom Bin is a basic need.Anybody have a hack for this issue?

Agreed, I used to modify and copy transitions a great deal in FCP. It seemed a natural fit for PP, ugh.

Seriously….I’ve been able to do this in AVID since day one.

The workaround I use is to save all my modified transitions in a dedicated timeline then copy and paste whatever I need from there. It’s clunky but it works.
