Hi everyone,

I am trying to apply a video transition (Block Motion) to multiple subtitle clips/captions at once in Premiere Pro to animate them, but I'm having trouble applying it in bulk.

I recorded a short video demonstrating the issue and what I'm trying to achieve:

Could you please advise on the best workflow for this?

  • OS: Windows

  • Premiere Pro version: v26.3

Thanks in advance for the help!

    You can't drag and drop a transition onto multiple clips at once. Instead, try one of these methods.

    Method 1: Copy and paste the transition

    1. Add the transition to one clip.
    2. Select the transition and copy it.
    3. Select the other clips in the timeline.
    4. Paste the transition onto these clips.

    Method 2: Apply as the default transition

    1. In the Effects panel, right-click the transition and choose Set Selected as Default Transition.
    2. Select all the clips.
    3. Choose Sequence > Apply Video Transition (Ctrl+D (Windows), Command+D (Mac)).
