1 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,360 In this video, we're going to 2 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,320 use the same project 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,120 that we worked on previously. 4 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:14,800 And now add some 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,600 more creative transitions to our montage. 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,240 There we go. 7 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:22,480 A little bit of a sequence. 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,520 Nothing too flash, 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,240 just a straight forward sequence 10 00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:26,480 put together. 11 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,240 But now we're just going to add 12 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,480 a couple of little transitions just to, 13 00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:35,600 spice it up a little bit. 14 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,640 Now transitions. 15 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,600 Can be used 16 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,560 badly. 17 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,080 They can be used to 18 00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,040 in a way that. 19 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,080 Can deter from your actual footage. 20 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,520 The majority of the time. 21 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,480 All you're going to need to 22 00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:55,080 use is a very simple cut. 23 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,800 So the transition 24 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,320 basically is how 25 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,120 your video will transition from one 26 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,280 clip to the next. 27 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,800 So the most common 28 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,760 one is a basic cut, like we said earlier, 29 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,320 what you might want to do is 30 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,160 add a little bit of variation 31 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,880 so we can go to our effetcs tab 32 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,840 within our project panel 33 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,080 and we have video transitions here now. 34 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,720 Like I said, these can be used badly. 35 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,600 They can be used in the wrong instance. 36 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,400 You know, they 37 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,880 you should use these sparingly. 38 00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:41,280 Or your production can look 39 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,320 a little bit amateurish 40 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,800 or a little bit cheesy for a better word. 41 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,880 But I'm just going to, show 42 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,000 you where they are 43 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,920 and how we can use them. 44 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,800 So 45 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,240 we have these groups of translation, 46 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,800 so I'm going to use the zoom. 47 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,360 And the way a translation will work is 48 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,760 we can click and drag from here 49 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,720 and we can hover over 50 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,120 the join between the two clips. 51 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,440 And you can see now that. 52 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,640 Within our clips here. 53 00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:18,440 We have, what's called a zoom, 54 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,680 so if we play that back now. 55 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,280 We see we have that cross zoom. 56 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160 That's just going to add a little bit, 57 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,800 a little bit dynamic movement 58 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,880 into that transition. 59 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,600 And if we zoom into this, we can even. 60 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,080 Speed up that process, 61 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,440 so now you can watch it 62 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,560 zoom in and out much quicker. 63 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,400 And if we add that layer 64 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,640 with some a little bit of a sound effect, 65 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:56,400 maybe a swoosh whoosh. 66 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,560 You know, it could work. 67 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,480 It could work in this instance. 68 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,200 Another really common one, and again, 69 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:05,960 unfortunately, one 70 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,120 that gets used more often than not 71 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,520 in the wrong instances 72 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,600 is a cross dissolve, now 73 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,600 a cross dissolve is simply fading 74 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,000 from one clip to the next. 75 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,280 So it's not something I would 76 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,480 use in this instance, 77 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,280 but just for demonstration purposes. 78 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,200 I'm going to drop that 79 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,480 over this join here and you can see that 80 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:31,560 as we fade in from one to the other. 81 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,040 So these transitions are here 82 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,960 within the Effects 83 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,080 tab of the project panel now. 84 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,440 If you ever lose a tab or 85 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,320 something isn't where 86 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,720 you expect it to be. 87 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,520 You can always go to window. 88 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,960 And it's going to bring up 89 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,040 you can choose effects, 90 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,000 and that will take you to 91 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,040 where that's going to be. 92 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,880 So hopefully that's giving you 93 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,480 a little insight of how we can 94 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,440 just put together 95 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,600 a really basic sequence. 96 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,600 Lining up shots. 97 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:19,920 And then adding a couple 98 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,400 of little translations. 99 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,760 Just into, to add a little bit more 100 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,400 interest to your video.
