The most efficient and accurate method to replicate a transition with its specific custom settings (like an adjusted duration) is to use the copy and paste command. By selecting the already-adjusted transition on the timeline, copying it, and then selecting the target edit points, you can paste the transition, and it will retain all its customized properties, including the specific length. This ensures consistency across all edits without needing to manually adjust each new transition.

A. Dragging a new transition from the Effects panel will apply the default version of the transition, not the one with your custom duration adjustments.

C. Adjustment layers are used to apply visual effects to multiple clips simultaneously, not transitions. Transitions must be placed at an edit point between two clips.

D. This describes an incorrect workflow. You copy the transition from the timeline itself, not from within the Effect Controls panel, and you paste it onto edit points, not clips.

"Apply

remove

find

and organize video transitions and effects in Premiere Pro":

Section: "Copy and paste transitions": This section explicitly details the correct procedure: "You can copy any transition in a sequence and paste it to any other cut point... Select a transition in a sequence. Choose Edit > Copy... To paste the transition to multiple cut points

select the cut points first. Then choose Edit > Paste." This directly validates option B as the correct workflow for duplicating a transition with its settings.

2. Adobe Premiere Pro User Guide

"Use Adjustment Layers":

Section: "Create adjustment layers": This document explains that "An adjustment layer is a type of video track that you can use to apply the same effect to multiple clips on the timeline." It makes no mention of applying transitions

confirming that adjustment layers are for effects

not for transitioning between clips

which invalidates option C.
