Opacity - Premiere Pro

Opacity controls the transparency of a clip. Clips default to 100% opacity (completely visible). As the opacity is reduced the clip becomes more transparent and the track below becomes more visible.

Timeline Panel Adjustments

1. Expand the view of a track, if necessary, by clicking the triangle next to the track name to expand its options.
2. If necessary, click the Show Keyframes button , or the Hide Keyframes button , and choose Show Opacity Handles from the menu. A horizontal opacity control rubber band appears in all the clips of the track.
   • Note: If no keyframes exist on the track, the rubber band appears as a straight horizontal line across the entire track.
3. Select the Selection tool, and drag the opacity control rubber band up or down or select the Pen tool, and drag the opacity control rubber band up or down.
   • The opacity value and current time appear as a tool tip as you drag.
