Feathering outside of a crop in Premiere is a technique used to create a smooth transition between two clips, where the end of the first clip fades out while the beginning of the second clip fades in, creating a seamless visual effect.
Feathering is particularly useful when transitioning between clips with different exposures or color balances, as it helps to minimize any jarring differences and create a more cohesive flow. Additionally, feathering can be used to create a sense of movement or progression within a sequence, as the gradual transition between clips can suggest a passage of time or a change in perspective.
