Solving problems with Overlap Transitions for Premiere Pro

Transition only affects the second clip. Solution One

This issue was resolved in the JSX script update released on July 7, 2025.
Make sure that the installed preset package uses a JSX version of 4.0 or higher. For more details, please visit:

You can check the JSX version by hovering over the preset pack thumbnail. This feature became available in Motion Bro plugin version 5.1.4. If you have Motion Bro 5.1.4 or higher installed and the JSX version is not displayed, try applying any preset and check the version again.


Transition only affects the second clip. Solution Two

If the JSX script version is up to date but the problem still occurs, it’s possible that you are using a single clip composed of several different pieces of footage. If you simply cut such a clip at the junction between two footages, this can cause issues with the overlap transition.

Not good

Make sure the first clip is a single footage, with enough duration after the cut.

Good

    When opening Quick 3D and installing a 3D model, the model appears, and when pressing Intro & Outro – importing the GLB file, an error appears: null is not an object (758). Can you help solve this error?

    I’m using the seamless transition pan left, and it creates a shift in the video, jumping the first clip backwards in time before the transition. It looks like a jump-cut before the transition the next clip.

      I have the same problem with all transitions. It seems to be an issue if using a clip from later on in a lengthy piece of footage. When a transition is applied, the first half of the transition created pulls from much earlier in the footage, not just before the cut point like it should, creating a flash frame at the start of the transition. A temporary work around would be to export the clip you want to transition out of as a stand alone clip and then edit it back in- a bit of a hassle, but it gets the job done until this gets fixed.

      I think I found the cause of the problem and fixed this bug. Please reinstall the preset package – this will update the script file during product activation.

    Hello,
    I have Premiere Pro 24.5. Motion Bro Seamless Transition used to work well. But, since this morning, I get a message telling me that the transition is off-line. I haven’t changed anything, the files are still in the same folder.
    Would you have a solution top fix this ?

    If i’m given one clip that has multiple shots in it (exported by another editor), there is no way for me to extend the clips to get the required over lap, right?

    I have the same problem. When i want to use the motion bro transition he say ‘Motion graphics template mediaundefined’ Error message: File format not supported. I tought maybe it’s beceause it’s a free template, so i bought the template but it gives still the same problem.

    i’m having the same Motion Graphics Template Mediaundefined in Premiere – File not supported – and I can’t solve it.

    Hello. I have the Seem less transitions pack and it had been working at first, Now I get an error message that says “mediaundefined” and within the same it error it also says the file format is wrong. Any help would be great because I loved using the original trial. I would also like to purchase the full version, so long as I can get it to run right,

    For me the problem was when I started a sequence that was vertical, for like a short. I couldn’t use many of the transitions except for Warp but I still had to do a work around for that to not look silly.

    What worked for me, was when I started a new sequence in Premier Pro I just select the stock selection for horizontal 60fps and drag my clip onto the new sequence, then cut, then add a power warp transition to the two selected clips and everything works fine.

    I thought to myself, since I have this open with the horizontal setup, let me now change the sequence’s settings to be vertical and reapply the warp transition. It Worked!

    For whatever reason when I initialize the sequence with vertical settings the transitions do not work right. they always glue to the latter clip instead of an even distribution between the two selected clips.

    I either have to do a standard horizontal sequence for my video or change a horizontal sequence to vertical after the horizontal sequence has been created for anything to work right, in this case short form video.

    Something has to be wrong with the plugin when it’s not expecting certain sequence settings, in this case vertical aspect ratio. That was the only difference I noticed anyway. Hope this helps in fixing this issue so I do not have to do this workaround.

    • Kevin says:

      It also seems to be the case that you have to transition two different media types. I can’t just clip the same piece of media into two clips and expect the transition to evenly distribute between the two clips, it has to be two distinct clips from one another for the transition to work properly.

      Hello, thanks for the feedback.

      Transitions should work in both vertical and horizontal video formats. Perhaps there is some feature in your video project that causes the described problem.

      Could you please write to me here https://motionbro.com/contact/ so I can help you figure it out?
