I've had this as a feature request for awhile... Here's a video I made: https://youtu.be/ThX0DqdQlJ4?t=109 aaaand I also coded a mod to do this, using AutoHotKey. If anyone really wants, they can use that code. Kind of a pain to set up, though, especially if you've never scripted anything before: https://github.com/TaranVH/2nd-keyboard/blob/664d299023cc2a6d4e213aba5f93b03ef2edf4dd/All%20Premiere%20Functions.ahk#L213 However, my AHK script only works with the dissolve transition, and 3rd party transitions, because ONLY those can be saved as presets. That's right! It can actually be done from the Effect Controls panel: https://i.imgur.com/uyeNSHU.png Finally, it is possible to apply transitions with one button press... using the Palette Gear. https://i.imgur.com/MNBgkpO.png But even those are not "preset" transitions. A good workaround is to have transitions saved to a sequence in my template premiere project file. That way, they're always available for copy/pasting. Okay, technically you CAN actually save transitions as clipboard states, but it's unstable, hard to set up, and has been slower in recent versions of Premiere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ScBB7I1BEA But yeah... all of that should not be necessary. It should indeed be easy to create preset transitions, and to apply them using custom keyboard shortcuts. This is item #3 in my spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dVJb7kI_ZETLavrplfARgn9gL8HUpvkq6A0jCPxqA3w/edit#gid=1133868629
