Advanced Transition Tutorial

Advanced Transition Tutorial


what's up everybody Rc here and today we're talking about transitions now this is part three and an ongoing series on stepping up your filmmaking there's a lot to cover.


 so let's go all right guys you've been asking for it so today we embark on the journey that is transitions now there is a lot to cover with this but I'm going to break this video into several different videos over the next couple weeks just because I could easily make this video over like an hour and a half long and some of you guys would be like yeah and some of you would be like stop talking.

 so I'm going to try and find some middle ground here but there's a lot to go over so in today's video we're going to look at only a couple transitions specifically I want to show you guys how to do the the masking in the frame blocking which is where something covers the frame and you mask to a transition underneath you guys have seen this on a couple of videos that I've done I didn't one of my vlogs where that my friends workshop and we were showing his wood shot that kind of thing I did it at left-field brewery a couple days ago and a vlog but whenever I can find a really good reason or I'm shooting and I can work that in i 100% try to make that effort so that kind of leads into my first point my first point is transitions are more than just fancy edits and ways to make your footage look better absolutely that's what they do but to get the most out of your transitions and to make them feel intentional and to make them feel like you meant to do it and they're perfectly suited for each other you got to think ahead of time you got to shoot to edit I've talked about this before you got to plan those shots you got to shoot the transitional Clips ahead of time so when you bring those into post and actually start editing them and adding the transitions into those two Clips



  you're going to get a slug ah you're going to get such a better results because you plan for that transition it's not just finding two clips that happen to work together and you're like oh sick and I worked out and sometimes that happens but if it worked out because you shot certain clips to do certain transitions with it's going to be that so so much better okay now before we get into the actual tutorial of how these transitions work it's important to talk about screen direction and movement because there's ways transition clips without actually adding and edit into them so when we're going to do masking or frame blocking we have to actually go into that clip and mask out Clips underneath and then move things around and actually edit footage but before we even get into the editing like the meat of it you can still get great transitions just by matching Clips together or matching screen directions so if there's a car moving to the right the next clip might be someone running to the right and the next clip after that might be something else moving to the right but if you transition those Clips properly between each other and you carry out that screen direction where all the movement is going one way those are still transitions you're still keeping in mind you're still editing with that intentionality so that when people watch your films and your videos it feels cohesive feels like there was thought put into it they might not subconsciously pick up on it some people might but if they don't it's still it's an easier watch it's a better watch so not all transitions are fancy camera moves or fancy editing techniques sometimes it's just putting the thought into how you're going to piece those


 Clips together so screen direction and the way it Clips move in and out of each other using intentional shots that as every bit important as actually learning how to edit in transitions in post the two things need to work together to get the best result essentially it's one thing so now that's out of the way let's move on so what masking and frame blocking transitions are really good at is making an edit feel really just seamless instead of just one clip whipping into the next clip which starts with the whipping of being able to mask that out just makes it a lot more like whoa just flows real nice think of it as just like a nice flow opposed to some turbulence in that flow we want to remove all the turbulence and sometimes adding these types of transitions just smooth it out for a much less bumpy viewing experience no seat belt required now if you're going to do the frame block and you have to shoot something that's in front of the frame so that you can actually mask it out you got to keep that in mind so it could be someone walking by it could be an object that is just blocking where the term comes from the frame and you pan through it so that it is essentially the divider that across the frame that's the that's the focus point that's the anchor that's what we're going to use to blend away sl


So we see the clip beneath so when you're shooting you got to keep that in mind you got to look for those things maybe it's a telephone pole maybe it's a car that drives by the frame and completely blocks the frame like that but you want something that goes right in front but you can mask away that's the kind of thing you want to look for when you're shooting so if we're in my office for example right now and we just want to hand hold a clip just for explanation or purposes and let's say we start the clip moving to the right and then we film another clip if we just put those two clips together you can see how it doesn't seamlessly it's just not it works but it's whatever it's forgettable you're not going to think anything about it but if we frame block and we move the camera in front of something and in the next clip we continue that transitional movement but now we're going to mask away that first clip to review what's underneath look how much better that clip looks now as a seamless just cohesive saying that a lot today but it's the best way to describe it but look how much better that looks it looks so much better it's visually appealing it makes the Edit flow you don't feel like anything is broken or skipped nothing like that it just works so let's get into how we can do that in Premiere Pro ok so let's jump into Premiere this is how we're going to do this we're going to be using this clip and it's going to mask into this clip now how do we do that well by creating a mask but this kind of goes back to what I was saying originally when you need to make sure that you shoot these types of Clips so that they work for you when you're editing versus just trying to find something through stuff that you've already shot or old clips if you go and shoot intentionally to make this transition it's going to be way way easier and what I mean by that is this clip here is what I shot at the brewery I went from the left side of this control panel panned to the right side and made sure that it passed in front of the frame completely so that I could mask out this section and put a different clip underneath okay and that's what we've done when you see the clip here alright so how do we do that pretty easy you're going to go to the first frame where you see that right side start to peak through which is right there and you're going to cut right there zoom in on this so that is the first frame we're going to do so make sure that your screen size down here is set to about 75 or 70 a little bit of room to work and then come over to effect controls and select to be free draw Bezier what you're going to do is you're going to make a little shape around that little sliver of life that we see there boom just like that then come over back over here click invert and then we're going to toggle mask path feather opacity and expansion now essentially what those do if you keep your eyes on the right side there and we move mask expansion see how it makes it a little bit bigger 


  So we can kind of play with that expand that a little bit more we can feather those edges so it's not so harsh you can expand it ever so slightly more so that it's nice and covered and just like that that is our first frame of this section masked out now what we need to do is come over at this point and select this little play button that says track selected mask forward one frame and we're going to do this frame by frame by frame until the whole clip is masked out alright so with that being done make sure this is selected make sure your mask is selected up here and then what I like to do is just go back and frame to make sure I can see it and then go forward and I like to click so I can get that mask back now you're just going to drag it back up and you're going to make a new shape you can do that by adding a new pen point here it's just your cursor right here if you select this it gives you another pen tool and we can click another point and drag that back up and drag this back down I like to just pull this back a little bit just so I can see where that edge is to make sure it lines up nice same thing with the top corner make sure that lines up nice boom happy with that and we're going to track forward one frame go back down here to the timeline make sure that it's selected we can go back to frame to see go forward one more frame come up actually click on the window which selects the mask and then we can drag that over so since we're just adjusting this dragging this out these little handlebars here tweak the the roundness and stuff like that so if you've got a shape that's curvy or you're masking something out that isn't just a straight line you can use the pen tool with a really kind of curve and get jagged lines and stuff like that   


      

so it's really really helpful but again we're just going to peel this back make sure that everything is selected nice and meat and same thing I'm happy with that and we can track forward one more frame go back make sure that looks good forward again come back up here click on the mask and drag that out to continue masking at this clip make sure that corner is not cutting in we want that whole frame to be selected so we're good and we mask forward one frame make sure it looks good by checking go back select your mask and drag that out to continue masking okay and you do this basically for the entire thing until it's done now if you did make any mistakes you can always come back and you can look like see right down in here there's a little bit of a hole there I can select this make sure mask is selected over here and you can just adjust that you can bring it a little bit back you can bring a little bit forward to make sure it's good and then you can check that out again then you can frame by frame to make sure it looks good and once you're happy with that you can select and you can change that mask at any time so once you've done the whole mold thing it should look something like this let's disable that once you've done the whole thing every frame should be masked out so that the whole clip  


   just goes black and then at the very end your mask covers the entire frame so when you enable the clip underneath it essentially you've got a beautiful new frame blocks transition alright another really easy transition to do and this one doesn't take a lot of work is just panning into something that is the same color and panning out of something that's the same color so a lot of the times I'll do this with black I'll pan into someone's shirt and then all I have to do for the next clip is start somewhere that's black and pan away so when you add those two Clips together it looks like this weird transition just happened and you think to yourself well how did that that's cool you don't necessarily pick up on it but it's just another really really cool way of seamlessly blending Clips together the same thing is done with you guys see a lot of probably on YouTube when someone puts their hand on the lens I'm going to come away in a different area that's the same thing all you're going to do is put your hand up to the lens and then you're going to go wherever you're going to go you put your hand back on the lens to start the clip take it off and when you edit those two clips together so it just looks like you put your hand up to the camera and you're suddenly in a new place the same thing goes for the whip transitions if you just hold the camera and you whip around to your left and then wherever you're going you get to your spot you begin that clip by continuing a whip to the left and then you cut those two frames together and post the same thing goes for when I do the transitions where I move the camera down and I start the clip doing the same thing I prefer that one because I can add a little body motion to it I feel like it looks more realistic like


 I just actually landed in some clip downwards motion combined with my acting skills they're not very good but whatever it works it just adds for a more enjoyable experience when you're watching it's just one of those things that you're like oh that was cool it kind of looks like this you can see how my body reacting to the transition kind of introduces a new dynamic that goes beyond just that of an edit now it's kind of like I was physically affected by the transition that happened in post and you guys know what I mean it's like you you went one step further and instead of just visually watching something happened that transition actually affected what was on the screen that's why I prefer to do it that way so that's it for me today guys


 I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial and got something out of it there's a lot of really good information in this video a lot of stuff that I'm really proud of it's a lot of stuff that I feel is important that you guys learn it's not stuff that I invented I did not create frame blocking or masking that that is not it's an old technique that's been used by so many filmmakers and so many filmmakers and content creators teach it and use it because it's awesome so you should be doing it too because it'll help improve your films 100% if you use it the right way so hopefully you get something out of this insight if you did hit that like button show me some love hit that subscribe button if you want to see more I upload videos several times a week trying to ramp up the united trying to ramp up the amount of videos that i'm posting for you guys so you guys have a good stream of content so hit that subscribe button if you want to see more hit that bell if you want to be notified when I upload a video and other than that I will see you guys hang on let's rewind I did that wrong and and I will see you guys in the next video thank you for watching still missing my hat will use my sweater

Ship Transition Tutorial

March 23, 2022 0

 How To Make Trending Ship Transition




                            Ship Transition


Introduction:

Hello and welcome to Rc edits in this two part tutorial we're going to look at 8 awesome and easy transitions, that you can make in a matter of seconds even though you could make a preset for some of them these transitions, are so simple that they don't require a preset at least in my opinion this two-part tutorial is a collaboration.


Clips

hey everyone glad to be here you can find the first four transitions , in this video and the other four in the video that is linked at the end of this one anyway it's time to start some editing after the quick message from our sponsor vdivo.net vdfo is a great source for free and premium stock footage, for example all the clips used in this tutorial video are coming from vdivo and besides the more than 100 000 video clips they've also got a big collection of music and sound effects be sure to check them out and use the discount code storytime20 to claim a 20 discount on one of their premium plans, the links can be found in the video description ok now it's time to jump over to premiere and look at 




Transition:

The first transition the first one is a simple zoom transition, and i've already got two clips ready on the timeline to show you how to do this one the first step here is creating an adjustment layer, you can do this in the project panel click on the new icon and then select adjustment layer and then accept the default settings and click ok you can now drag this adjustment layer over to the timeline and place this on top of the two clips then shorten the length of the adjustment layer until it's somewhat equal on both sides.


Effects:

 Next we're going to add an effect in the effects panel we're going to search for the transform, effect you'll find this one under video effects distort i'm going to apply this effect to the adjustment layer, and then put the playhead right between the two clips and you can also zoom in to be sure that it's right in the middle now.


Keyframes:

 i'm going to move over to the effects control panel and i'm going to look at scale properties of the transform effect first i'm going to enable keyframes, by clicking on the stopwatch icon here then i'm going to move that first keyframe, with value 100 a couple of frames back and then create another keyframe with value 100 and move that one a bit forward the playhead is still in the middle between the two clips and that's where we're going to create a new keyframe with value 300 and now as you can see the zoom effect.

 

Conclusion:

now you've got this awesome glitch transition, thanks again jill and that indeed was awesome and easy and that also concludes this first part of the eight easy transitions let me know in the comments if you would like to see another transition collaboration, video with storytime and premiere basics and now you can click here to see the other four transitions, that's it for this one thanks a lot for watching and i hope you have a wonderful  day you

                         Advanced Transition 


In this tutorial i'm going to show you how to make a smooth sliding transition inside, of Alight Motion  my name is Rc and i do weekly Alight Motion and filmmaking tutorials so make sure to subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss out on future videos.




   I got two clips on the timeline and i really want to transition, from this clip right here and into the next clip with it sliding this way so the first thing we need to do is to drag this first clip that we are transitioning, from up to video track number two and then you can select how long you want the transition to be. 

 so i really want to start around here i think and then i can drag the second clip that we are going to transition, to under the first clip so now we have these two clips stacked together and then i'm going to select the eraser tool by hitting c on my keyboard and i'm going to make a cut right here at the first clip and i'm also going to make a second cut at the second clip .

So now we have sectioned off these two clips right here then we can go and select the first clip that we are transitioning, from and we're going to work inside of effect controls so i'm going to put my playhead at the beginning of the clip and i'm going to make a keyframe so i'm going to make a keyframe for position and i'm going to go forward in the clip and make another keyframe 

 so i'm just going to drag this to the side and i just want this clip to be slightly off to the side right here just so we don't see it anymore then i'm going to drag this last keyframe, all the way to the end of the clip so now it will look something, like that this looks a little bit weird so we are going to make this other clip slide at the same speed at the first clip so first we need to hide this first clip and we can hide this video track number two by clicking the toggle track output and then it disappears then we can select the second clip.

   we're going to make some keyframes on this clip as well so let's move the playhead to the beginning of the clip and then we're going to toggle a keyframe and we're just going to drag this all the way to the other side so we are slightly off screen then i'm going to move my playhead, to almost the end of the clip again and i'm going to drag this until we have it in the same place that it should be and then i want to drag this last keyframe up there as well i'm also going to add some blur but let's see how it looks so now we just have this simple little slide transition but i'm going to add some blur so the first thing we need to do is to go down here and select new adjustment layer, 

 when you get this box here you just click ok and inside of the project bin we have this adjustment layer so i'm just going to drag this on top of both of the clips and i'm just going to trim it so it fits on the transition right here and then we're going to search for effect right here called the directional blur and you'll find that in the video effects blur and sharpen folder and you have the directional burr right here so let's drag that on top of our adjustment layer and then i'm going to go to the beginning of the clip right here.

i'm going to set the values in the directional, blur to 90 degrees so that is horizontal and then we can increase the blur and this is something you can decide how much blur or not you want but i think i'm going to go around 30 and if you play this back right now this is how it looks but if this is too slow for you i will show you how you can make this go faster so to make this go faster we can simply, select all of the clips that are in this slide transition section and we can right click and nest it so click the nest button right there and click ok and then we can go over here and use the rate stretch tool or you can just click r on your keyboard and this will allow you to adjust how fast this section of the transition 

 So let's say i want to make this double as fast i could just drag this and then we can put this first clip on there and make sure we delete this and when we play this back right now we got a faster transition on the screen right now we got another video for you to watch next and if you haven't yet make sure to subscribe,and hit the bell thank you so much for watching create an inspire and i will see you in the next video

Transition

Alight Motion transitions can even help you create the illusion of a continuous shot and they can even trick our mind into thinking it's an actual camera movement thanks to the motion blur now it's really cool about all of these transitions.


Zoom Transition

transitions the zoom is always centered but you can zoom in any direction for a better result for example here on the zoom out the first shot has the models face at the center but in the second shot it's a little towards the top and to the left making the transition.

 TOP 3 Cc Presets Pack

    




                         Top 3 Cc Presets 

hey guys jill here for premiere basics a weekly series where we teach you all the ins and outs of adobe premiere pro, last week adobe released a brand new feature that lets you color grade your footage with just one click of a button currently, it is only available within the beta version of premiere pro 



  so first let's open up the adobe creative cloud app and move to the beta apps menu then download the beta version of premiere after it's installed open up the beta app and you'll notice that the import menu is already different,  but that's something that we've talked about in a previous video which you can see by clicking the link in the top right corner now 



   i'm going to import some, footage which will be some log footage that we've shot and some stock clips from story blocks that already have a decent color grade we're now going to color grade these clips to get some nice looking colors to start color grading move to the window menu and select the lumetri color panel if you have never color graded before let me give you a quick introduction within the lumetri panel, we have multiple tabs the first one is the basic correction tab from here we can make as the name indicates basic adjustments to our contrast and exposure but also the temperature of your shot.

  next is the creative tab from here you can add luts which you can technically, also do in the basic correction tab but if you apply it here you can still adjust stuff later on in the basic corrections, in the creative tab you can also add sharpness vibrance and saturation next up is the curved step from here you can use the curves to control exposure and colors but in a more advanced way you can also play around with the hue saturation, and luma controls to control specific colors on your shot next is the color wheels and match tab and here you can add specific colors to either the shadows mid-tones or highlights, next is the hsl secondary tab which you can use to make selections of specific colors which is an ideal way to create better skin tones for example and lastly we have the vignette tab which is basically, to create a vignette obviously but you have clicked on this video to see the brand new one-click color grade feature in premiere so let's now wait any longer. 


 when you go back to the basic correction, step you will see a new button which says auto tone now if you click this premiere will apply intelligent auto corrections to your footage and this is all done with the sliders of the basic correction step which means that afterwards you can still have full control over it and change anything if needed so why is this so useful well for beginner video editors this is a fast and easy way to apply a quick and nice looking color grade to your footage as a start you can then use for example the color wheels.

 and results actually look pretty damn great so i can't wait for adobe to release it officially for everyone to use it i hope you enjoyed this video and learned something new and if so make sure to hit the like button turn on post notifications and of course subscribe to the channel and feel free to share this video with your friends or on your socials i'll see you again next week with a new tutorial and as always stay creative.

Smooth Zoom Shake Transition

March 15, 2022 0

 



            Zoom + Shake Transition Pack  


I guys stand over them here so I was watching this film this week star was a new hope brilliant film, and I notice through a lot of white transitions in there.

   so I thought coming up to Google and find out how many of those transitions are,  actually our innate because there were quite a lot left to write down circular ones etc did the ground under sir I don't know I don't know why they use so many but one of the questions that I would did they write them themselves or did they download them were they just a library transition.

it just a new editor you know what what was the cause of it was the thinking behind it anyway it turns out that there were 31 white transitions, in Star Wars a new hope and that that sort of gave me the idea that basically should do a short video on how to create your own white transition so with that let's get this started [Music] welcome back guys so transitions yes what we're going to be doing will give a doing,


 it as zoom transition specifically, a smooth zoom transition that is where your primary voltage zooms in and the second footage zooms in behind it and it's done in a specific way through premiere but you have to do it yourself it's not downloaded it isn't a library transition, it's one you're going to create yourself through peaks of this video obviously by the way I'm just a disclaimer I didn't invent this transition I've got made it up wish I had and I'm also not the first person to a pop video on YouTube about how to make a transition. 

we're going to do that now so let's dive into premiere and let's get started we just need to get our clips you can see the timeline still go to the project bin just grab three random clips, drag these across onto the timeline now okay I don't need these sound on these so just remember these clips to get rid of sound boom done okay so got three clips in the timeline no sound they're all playing they're just straight course between each clip next step for us would be we're going to go down to our project bin and we're going to click on new item and then it just moon where you'll leave the settings are same and then.

 we're gonna click on adjustment layer again you had to adjustment layer two adjustment layers in our project bin okay so crop only adjustment layers, and drag that onto V 2 at the beginning of the clip for clip two and then grab the second adjustment layer and stack that over the top what we do is just extend the hell a little bit second adjustment layer and that's just so they overlapped clip 1 and clip 2 and I've become apparent later it's needed for the transition so our next step would be to go to the effects panel and click on our first adjustment layer then up on the effects panel here we're gonna type in replicate I'm gonna drag that and drop that onto our first adjustment layer.

 I head over there and you can see that there are now four versions of our video playing at the same time now that's not gonna be quite enough, so what I need to do is go to the effects control panel which is here and we're gonna change the count of the replicate to three which gives us nine three roses right okay so what next gonna do is close time and we're going to go to the effects panel or insight mirror and exactly mirror onto the first adjustment laughs first seven layers and we're going to go to the flexion angle, I'm gonna put a value of 19 into that then gonna go to reflection Center which is just the line above it and we're gonna go to do the right hand figure and we're gonna alter that so that the lines don't appear anymore so you can see you've got a line just drag that okay grab never again they're down so that two mirrors now this is a second one what is that one I'm gonna give that value of minus 90 they use the same right.

 I'm figure again and you've gotta count to the lines and then when you're okay next you're gonna fight, me right again this is a third time you've done this and you give that value of YT maybe use the left hand thicker and it's like it back onto the screen so we see Lions there they are now make a one-line left which is so the fourth and final time they live straggler on to our from that and you give it a value of 360 and then we look that SAP and black on and so the line needs to disappear, okay so what's it done from there now without me to do that more the next step you need to do it's coming to you the effects power yeah and when it's attacked in there.

 I'm store now when they've got transformed, ones we taught that this move back so that's the way in being three you've got a minute and now as providing place what you do is set our playhead at the beginning of the clip that we watch transforming into and transition, into you wouldn't go back sort of between six and ten frames into clip what I like to do it think frames just it depends on how quickly loss though you wanted to go so go back eight frames so one two three four five six seven eight so a backache frames now they're due using the scale icon in transform.

so click start watching their legal value at home good that's putting a keyframe, and then reset our timeline to the beginning into that second clip I go eight frames into the second click on okay once we get there they do is we're going to keep that scale at a value of three hundred we've got another keyframe, in and bring the sense of scale back up so I'll quit fully visible and there we go so now basically what we've got is we've got our clip moving from three sets of three such as one clip when I finish yet we'll go down chose angle here in your transform.


 I want to give that a value of 360 now that will give us some but motion blur if I just flip back there you go you can see it's giving us a little bit of motion blur, to it so what I'll do now is I will just render that out quickly and that will show you exactly what your transformation, has done you create your own transition and I'll show you how you smooth the zooms anymore just our auto playing here we go and then.

we have it a smoothing, stick well that's it guys transition all made so we've done that you've got the two tongue you got a two adjustment layers there you know what you do with it all you can obviously refer back to this video if you need to however you can copy and paste that across from one project to another or you can save it in a project file and then import your projects and afterwards, you say that the template etc etc etc and it's just they're fierce cubes you can tweak it as much as you like you can change it however you like it just make it see fit make it longer make it shorter faster make it smoother.


it's just my take on it what I'm gonna do is buy a video at the end of this video just a short clip at the end of this video just so you can see what it would look like with a bit music on and now though the transition, plays out amongst a little bit more bit longer footage because we always use unused three Clips on the tutorial and I'll use a few more Clips so that you can see how it plays out over a longer period  if this video is useful nitiram you liked it please do like and subscribe below and I will see you next week with more tutorials or interesting blogsblogs

Soft Zooming Transition Tutorial

March 11, 2022 0

 


                   Smooth Zoom Shake Preset  


What's up guys welcome back to another Zoom Shake Transition in this video.

 we're gonna make the awesome zoom out effect and it's actually pretty darn good in my opinion it's better than Alight Motion, or if it's not better it's pretty close but Before we jump into luma fusion.

 I want to say a big thank you to everyone that have purchased my packs and supporting, me that way I really appreciate all the support that you have given me the past couple of months and it's allowed me to just move on and do more awesome tutorials take some time off and just focus on editing those transitions and the tutorials inside of Zoom and in this video

 I'm also going, to show you some of the zoom out effects that I've done in Alight Motion and I'm actually gonna, compare them to the luma fusion zoom out effect and actually think the luma fusion zoom out effect is better and the reason for that is simply because I don't know it feels like well I put more effort into making it inside of them of fusion and is it's just it's it's harder to apply and it it's a longer process to apply in luma fusion but maybe maybe that's the that's the thing maybe maybe that's why I like it more than the Alight Motion one because Alight Motion, is just you drag drop and you're done but making it inside of a luma fusion it feels like it's I don't know I don't know it just it just looks awesome and it's I haven't seen anyone before inside of limo fusion and it's like I want to use this it's like.

 I want to take this transition this zoom out effect, into my PC and just I need to premiere pro but it's not possible so I don't know let's just jump into the my fusion and start the tutorial so once we're inside of luma fusion we're gonna start by making a new project once you've made the new project.

 we're gonna go into our Photos app and find the side clip that we want to zoom out from and in this tutorial, we're going to use story blocks and we're also going to use this eye footage from story blocks so we can make a cool transition as well as a zoom out effect once we place the eye footage on our timeline we can browse through and we can find another clip that we want to place inside the pupil and drag that above to the second layer, then we take the eye clip and we drag it underneath at the end of the second clip that we just added and then we'll make a cut to the footage above the eye so we'll end up with a small clip which is above the eye then.

we're gonna make three ten frame cuts you can follow my example to see what I do [Music] once you made the cuts you go into the last ten frame cuts on the clip which is on the second layer, then we go into frame and fit and we resize the footage so it fits inside the eye and then we also go to cropping and we crop so the footage is only visible inside the pupil you can follow my example to see what I do once you're happy with the placement and the cropping you go over to the first ten frame cut that you have on the second layer and then you go into color and effects and you apply the butterfly effect once you apply the butterfly effect you can follow my example to see the settings that I use once you apply the settings you start by making a keyframe, at the beginning with no settings then you go to the end and you make another keyframe and then you adjust the radius to max the next thing you can do is to copy these settings and apply them to the ten frame cut which is on the first layer of your timeline then you go into edit on this clip and you have the keyframes, and you go to the first keyframe and you can start adjusting the position. 

 so you're all zoomed in on the pupil you can follow my example to see what I do and the settings are use once you applied all the settings and you're happy with the look you simply copied this effect and you apply it to the clip which is above the one we just edited the next thing we do is we go out and we see how the cropping looks and it doesn't look that good now so what we have to do is go into that clip and start adjusting the position and the cropping to make it fit inside the pupil and to make it follow the pupil the entire time you can follow my example, to see what I do  make sure to add keyframes along the way to make sure that the footage will always be inside the pupil and you will have no problems with the look of it when you're done and to make the transition and the zoom out effect perfect, so once you're done with the placement you can go out to your timeline again and you can play through and you can see what it looks like and you can see that the transition, sotself the zoom out effect it's not quite there yet so we need to go in and make some adjustments so what we're going to do is go into the butterfly effect and we're going to go to the first keyframe. 


   we're gonna scale everything down, to zero then we're going to go a couple of frames to the right of the middle and make another keyframe and make sure to have everything on zero on this keyframe, as well the transition will now look something like this so the next thing we want to do is to go inside the last ten frame clip that we have on our second layer, and then we want to place the marker exactly where the entire eye is visible and then we want to go into frame and fit and blending and make a keyframe and then we want to go a couple of frames towards the beginning of the clip and make another keyframe, and drag the opacity to zero and the transition will now look something like this and now after adding the transition to the last clip on the second layer we can now take that clip and drag it out so it's longer which makes it easier for us to fade out the effect which is inside the eye and we can easily apply a fade out effect by going into, luma fuchsias transitions and add across the song to the clip and that will look something like this and you can now see that the effect is starting to look more smooth than what we had to begin with and it's only some fine adjustments, we need to do to make this perfect so now let's go into the first 10 frame clip that we have on the second layer.

 we're going, to go into color and effects and then we're gonna apply a short zoom then we're going to go to the end of the clip and we're gonna make a key frame and we're going to adjust the zoom to the amount that we want and make sure to adjust the position, of the zoom as we apply the butterfly effect the zoom will not be in the center unless you drag it around and make sure that it is centered during the entire transition, and if you don't do that it will look something like this and this will just look super weird so you have to adjust and you have to look through and make sure that the zoom is always centered inside the transition if it's easier for you you can always apply additional keyframes, to make it easier to find the center and to keep the zoom centered at all time you can follow my example to see how I adjust the center of the zoom once you're done with all the adjustments and the placement of the zoom the transition, will now look something like this and now let's move over to story blocks and apply some more footage that we can apply this effect.


 so again we add the ten frame cuts to the clips and now we can simply go over to the previous transitions, and the previous effects that we created on the other clips and we can simply copy those effects and apply them to the next cuts that we made once we apply the effects we might need to do some adjustments depending, on the position where we want the transition to be like this last clip that we added we want to zoom out transition to go from the eye to the face so what we want to do here is to go into that clip and to color and effects and into the butterfly effect and then we want to adjust the position of the butterfly effect and we want that to be on the face so it looks like.

  we're zooming, out from that face so once you're done with the adjustments it will look something like this and you can see that we need to make some adjustments to the second transition as well so we're going to start by going into edit on the eye clip then we're going to go to color and effects and we're going to apply a short zoom once, you apply the short soon we're going to make a keyframe at the end of the clip and a keyframe at the beginning.

   we're going to go to the keyframe at the end and we're gonna just assume so the zoom is taking up a lot of the black spots inside the footage, and on this clip we also have to adjust the zooms position and make sure that it's always centered inside the clip nd once you're done with all the adjustments the final result will look something like this and now let's compare this LUMO Fusion and zoom-out effect, to what you can create inside of Alight Motion in my opinion I actually think that the zoom out effect that you create inside of LUMO Fusion looks better than the one I created inside a Alight Motion.



 So that's how you make this awesome super, or it's it's so good if you want this transition or zoom out effect head over to the description below self I it's there if you want to support me by making a donation when you get these for some zoom out effects please consider doing, that and also don't forget to smash that notification bar and subscribe if you're new to my channel and don't forget to comment below what do you think do you think the luma fusion zoom out effect is more awesome than the one I made in Alight Motion, let me know in the comment section below and I'll see you guys in the next video peace
