Popis: We present calculations of the self-energy correction to the $E1$ transition amplitudes in hydrogen-like ions, performed to all orders in the nuclear binding strength parameter. Our results for the $1s$-$2p_{1/2}$ transition for the hydrogen isoelectronic sequence show that the perturbed-orbital part of the self-energy correction provides the dominant contribution, accounting for approximately 99\% of the total correction for this transition. Detailed calculations were performed for $ns$-$n'p$ and $np$-$n'd$ transitions in H-like caesium. We conclude that the perturbed-orbital part remains dominant also for other $ns$-$n'p$ transitions, whereas for the $np$-$n'd$ matrix elements this dominance no longer holds. Consequently, the self-energy corrections for the $np$-$n'd$ one-electron matrix elements cannot be well reproduced by means of effective QED operators constructed for energy levels.
