Transition packs can usually run you about $20-100 per purchase, and when you want a wide array of them, they can get costly once you add them up. So, we went ahead and rounded up seven of the best free transition packs that the internet has to offer. So check your download speeds, create a new folder, and get ready to download over 100+ transitions!
Shutterstock’s Video Editor Toolkit
I wanted to start off with this one since it’s such an awesome pack for anyone looking for free assets. Shutterstock’s Video Editor Toolkit comes with over 220 different assets, along with nine free transitions that you can use. So in addition to the transitions, you also get:
- Animations and Transitions
– Icons (46)
– Shapes (34) - Look-up Tables
– .cube LUTs (52) - Overlays and Elements
– Light Leaks (21)
– Dust (2)
– Volumetric Light (14)
– Sparks (45)
The transitions that come along with the pack are Track Matte transitions, which means that you will need to add a Track Matte key to the bottom clip, and then track it to the included transition video file. From there, adjust the composite to Luma Alpha, and the transition will be ready to go!
If you need a visual guide on how to use these transitions, follow along with Mike as he guides you through each type of asset included in the pack:
16 Circle Transitions
These sixteen free circle transitions are some of the more energetic ones out of the bunch. These fun, engaging, and dynamic transitions are the perfect companion when creating a quick social video that cuts from clip to clip quickly. These are also Track Matte transitions, so follow along with the same directions to use them as the Video Editor Toolkit above.
Travel Film Transition Pack
If there’s one type of video that demands creative transitions, it would be the travel video. There’s hundreds of thousands of different travel vlogs and videos out there, and to stand out, you gotta make yours a little different than the pack. Austin Newman has created a pack of really neat transitions that are fantastic for flipping between shots out of your plane window to the streets of Tokyo. Or, the city that’s like an hour outside of your hometown. No judgement here.
These are extremely simple transitions to use. Just download the pack of presets, and import them into Premiere by going to Effects > Presets > Import Preset. From there, it’s just dragging and dropping on top of your clip to get the job done (along with some creative cutting).
Handy Seamless Transitions
These handy seamless transitions from Pixel Samy are simple, fun, and great to use for a quick project. They have a little element of color distortion and ghosting, so it adds even more depth to your transition.
These transitions are a little bit more hands-on to get done. It involves about four different layers that you have to duplicate and layer on top of each other (which creates the color distortion). Refer to the short video above to get a read on how to use the transitions most effectively.
24 Free Transitions from FILM CRUX
FILM CRUX has blessed us with twenty-four fantastic transitions that can be used in just about any situation. This includes zooms, spins, and whip pans, which have become increasingly popular for social video. These transitions are utilized by creating an adjustment layer above the cut point, and then adding the preset to the adjustment layer. Each transition comes with a suggestion for when to start the adjustment layer transition, which takes out the guesswork from trying to match up two videos.
Ink Splash Transitions
Now these aren’t what you would call “conventional” transitions, and even the tutorial doesn’t advertise them as transitions. But trust me, these ink splash files are a super creative way to splatter your way through a multitude of clips. Just like most of PremiumBeat’s free assets, these come as .MOV files that are used as Track Matte type transitions, just like the circle transitions mentioned above. You might be able to do some more intensive work in After Effects, but if you are more comfortable with Premiere, they are totally ready to be used as simple transitions.
10 Freeze Frame Transitions
I thought it would be a crime to not mention music videos, one of the best use of creative transitions. So, here is one of my favorite free packs from Bryan Delimata that is best suited for that. These are pretty unconventional transitions (which is why I like them) that freeze frames to transition from one scene to another.
First, take two clips that you want to transition between. From there, create a frame hold from the end of the 1st clip and duplicate it onto the top video layer. Stretch it out over the 2nd clip.
Now, take the Crop effect, drag it onto your freeze frame, and crop out the person in your frame. At first, it will delete them from the frame, but you can reverse it by pressing the “Invert” button in the effects tab. Then, duplicate it again, and add it onto V3.
This is where the transition pack comes in. Import the presets from the pack, and start adding effects onto the V2 freeze frame. It will include different types of effects like paint splatters, flames, and other cool visual backgrounds to your freeze frame. Experiment around, play with the opacity settings, and now, you’ve got a killer transition between two sets.

There’s no denying that a lot of effort is required to take a travel/montage video from good to great. Besides having well-composed shots and a killer soundtrack, transitions between cuts are another essential element that can elevate the production value of your edits and make them stand out from the crowd.
Those of you who are familiar with the work of famous YouTuber Sam Kolder should know well that mastering the art of creating appealing and engaging transitions is one of the secret ingredients behind his travel videos’ success.
So, if you’re someone who’s looking to mimic the style of creative professionals like Kolder, you might want to try out this free smooth transitions preset pack for Premiere Pro CC created by Ankit Bhatia. Inside of the package, you’ll find ten unique effects that you can use for your own video projects. Best of all, you can download them absolutely free of charge right away.
Before using the preset pack, however, you’ll need to set up a few things in advance. First, download the package, open the zip file and uncompress the content. Next, head over to the Effects panel inside of Adobe Premiere Pro CC, right click on the Presets folder and choose Import Presets.

After that, navigate to the 10 Free Smooth Transition Pack – Ankit Bhatia Films.prfpset and click open. You should now see the complete preset pack inside of the Presets folder. Since this is a third-party preset, keep in mind that the process of using the provided assets is not as straightforward as using Premiere’s built-in transitions.
That being said, choose which transition you’d like to use. Depending on the file you’ve selected, you should see the name of the transition followed by the number of frames required to cut in parentheses. For instance, the Slide Down requires 20 frames. This means that between the two clips your transition from, you’ll need to make a cut ten frames before the end of the first clip and ten frames after the start of the second clip.
Once you’ve made the necessary tweaks, create an adjustment layer that spans the duration of the cuts from start to end. Next, apply the desired transition to the adjustment layer. The last step is to add the Base Preset to the clips where the edit was made (the last ten frames in the first clip, the first ten frames in the second clip).
Even though using the presets may take a bit of time to implement, the effort put in will be definitely worth it in the end. With the Smooth Transition Pack, you’ll get a bunch of unique-looking and fast-paced transitions that will surely add a whole other level of visual appeal to your videos. From spins to slides, whips to zooms, Bhatia’s pack will surely impress many video editors and audiences alike.
