When used sparingly or for "real" reasons transitional effects can be fantastic, avoid over using effects. "If you can't solve it, dissolve it." Is a news room phrase that basically says sometimes the easiest way to fix a jump cut or a "jarring" cut is to use a basic dissolve.Adobe Premiere Pro ships with more than 70 transitions. Some are subtle, and some are "in your face." The more you experiment with them the more likely you are to use them well.
New to Adobe Premiere Pro is the ability to add transitions between two clips on any track in a sequence. This is a very useful improvement that saves several awkward steps needed to accomplish the same thing in previous versions of Adobe Premiere.
A short red, horizontal line will appear above any new transition. That red line means that this portion of the sequence must be rendered before you can record it back to tape or create a file of your finished project. Rendering happens automatically when you export your project, but you can choose to render selected portions of your sequence to make those sections display more smoothly on slower PCs.
Temporarily Unlink Audio and Video by pressing the Alt key as you click on the end of the audio or video portion of a linked clip and you can drag only the audio or video.
Removing and closing the gaps is easy, right-click a gap and click Ripple Delete (so named because its effect ripples through the entire sequence). Ripple Delete removes the gap by sliding all the material after the gap to the left. You can also choose this method to remove clips without leaving a "hole" in your sequence
