The confusion comes, because Premiere Pro filters are based on a similar architecture to After Effects. For other filters, like Sapphire Edge transitions, they must still be applied as I outline in the rest of this post.) Their transitions now are drag-and-drop enabled, just like Adobe’s default transitions. ( EDIT: This changed somewhat a day ago, when Noise Industries released FxFactory 4.1.1. Unfortunately third-party transitions don’t work this way, leading some users to conclude that they just don’t work or that Premiere Pro is less versatile. Drop the transition on a cut and you are done. Native Premiere Pro transitions, like dissolves and wipes, can be applied just like in FCP. Switchers from Apple Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro might miss the wealth of inexpensive transition effects offered by third-party and hobbyist plug-in developers.
