Adobe Premiere Pro comes with some effects for both video and audio transitions built in. While you can certainly purchase other transitions out in the marketplace, you’ll find one of the most common just a right-click away.

After adding the MP3 or WAV file to the sequence, bring your cursor to the beginning or the end of the clip. You’ll see a red bracket appear. Right-click at the red bracket and choose “Apply Default Transition”. This will add a smooth increase or decrease in the volume. This can be applied at the beginning or end of any audio clip, even if there are multiple clips in one sequence.
