Allow Easing for Most Transitions

A number of transitions could benefit from easing. Some that come to mind are:

- Push
- Slide
- Wipe
- Split

The Effect Controls interface is so old, I'm not sure how this would be best implemented. It'd be nice, at bare minimum to be able to choose between ease in, ease out, or both (if we can't have full control over bezier handles).

Premiere Pro should really have a couple of easing options (like cubic, quint, expo,…). A motion blur option should be in there, too (or at least some kind of directional blur), plus an option to control the amount of blur. There are some transitions, that already have a blur effect. However, it's often too harsh, especially when having transitions longer than 8 Frames. For such basic stuff I really don't want to rely on fancy third party transitions, that often mess around with precomps.

Sure, you can go in and add key frames to position and ease them. But this would be so useful for editors. Allowing them to add transitions quickly that don't look like ****. The fancy new features like scene detection and auto transcribe audio to subs is impressive, but this would be so much more and useful and I suspect pretty easy to add for the devs.

Please make this!
This is so basic yet so useful.
Everytime I have to do a transition that looks a bit nice, I have to import to AfterEffects and then back again. Having control over the transition easing would save so much time and frustration.
I think many professionals agree that transitions without easing often look very amateurish.

+1 to this. I was surprised to find the transition timing was not adjustable! Definitely expected that in Premiere Pro of all apps.

Film impact transitions do have easing. I use impact dissolve exclusively now.

I believe it might even be free! 6 of those are!

This also needs to be implemented on the cross dissolve transitions as the linear dissolve is not smooth like it is when you have linear compositing unchecked.
