Adobe Premire Pro 2019: Default Transition Unavailable

Question

I've been using and learning Premire Pro for a few years, and I've encountered a problem that I've seen no one talk about online. At some point a few months ago, I unknowingly set my default transition (The basic fade in effect) to additive dissolve which isn't what I want. I went into my transition librbary and clicked on the square to unset it and tried to find the simple fade in effect which I believe is the cross disolve transition, but it when I playback the video, it doesn't transition with the simple fade I always had as my right click transition. I went through every single transition in my library and none of them is the transition I want. I've been trying to deal with this since and now I can't take it anymore. Any help is greatly appreciated, and let me know if I need to elaborate on things.

(P.S. I'm using Premire Pro 2020 in case that has something to do with it_

Don,

Here's what I think was happening in your search. I had a similar issue recently. You immediately found what you were looking for, the cross dissolve, but thought it was not working because your two clips were one clip razored into two parts.

If you had 2 different clips with no handles (even the same clip, but the start of the second instance placed at the end), you'd get a warning about no handles.

But when you razor a clip, the first part has, as "handles," all the second part. And the second part has handles before it. So you get no warning, the transition looks okay on the timeline, but.... You see no transition because the before and after are identical. The frame from clip 1 that is being transitioned to the frame in clip 2 are identical.

As you later said, it was working for a fade in/fade out - if placed at the beginning of a clip or the end. And you would have seen that it was working in between clips if they had not had identical content because they were razored.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
