Premiere Preset Transitions

I would really appreciate some help here.  I'm a PP newbie, but a FCP editor for over 15 years. 

I can't for the life of me figure out how to use preset transitions that I've downloaded in my sequence.  I've downloaded the presets and they show up in the Effects browser but I can't drag them in between 2 clips!!!  The clips have adequate handles. 

When I try to drag them between the two clips in my sequence nothing happens. 

I've watched a few tutorials and still nothing works. One tutorial says to make blade cuts between the two clips, nest that area and then drag the the preset transition to the nest.  

Another tutorial says to create an adjustment layer!!

 You can't possible need to create an adjustment layer or a nest every time you need to add a transition!!! 

In FCP you just install the transitions and they show up in your effects panel. Then just drag them to the project  edit points. SIMPLE!!!!

 Can someone please help me with this?  Thanks so much!!

 

I'm on Premiere 22.0

Correct answer Jeff Bellune

The author of those Effect Presets explained that you need a 15-frame clip instance on each side of center so that you can apply the Effect Preset to the tiny clip instances.

 

The effects produce a kind of transition, but they are not Pr transitions. They are effects that are applied to clips that simulate transitions.

 

There is no way to add those Effect Presets  as transitions because they are not, well, transitions. 😀

Did you press Enter to render the timeline and turn the red line above the timeline to green?

Somehow pressing enter on my Mac doesn't work for rendering. I need to  go into Sequence and render the selection or render in to out.

These presets are in fact not transitions but rather presets made up from effects (Premiere cannot make presets from real transitions).

You need to study the tutorials that come with these presets very carefully.

Some can be very complicated and quite different to apply.

Which ones did you download?

Hi Ann. Thanks for your response.  All I'm trying to do is download some very cool transitions to use in Premiere.  Something that I can just drag between two clips (like normal transitions).  I've watched the tutorials very carefully and followed them step by step with my sequence.  I've tried Mixkit, Debrup, and the latest   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00vbYIGY3-A&t=19s

 

Do you have transitions and titles you like?

 

This shouldn't be so difficult.

I don't use transitions very often, but when I do, I make them myself.
