Advanced Transition Tutorial

 

what's going on youtube Rc with venture visuals and on this channel we break down trendy music video effects and creative editing skills and today i could not be more stoked to be showing you guys this film roll transition that's very easy to create in alight motion pro but before we get started i just want to shout out you guys out there in the audience who are watching my tutorials and leaving comments liking the videos all that the channel just hit a thousand subscribers this week which i am stoked about and you guys helped me get there so the first thing.

 we're gonna do is basically just identify where we want the transition to start so this is where i think a good spot for this transition, is gonna be so as you can see we already got the two clips split in half like that what i'm gonna do is hold shift on my keyboard go to the left and that's gonna bounce over five frames here on the left

 i'm gonna make a cut right there and now i'm gonna hit shift and go to the right twice that's gonna go to the right ten frames and i'm gonna make a cut highlight them right click on them and nest them so they are just one clip here on the timeline so what we need to do first is add in an effect called offset so that's over here in our project panel we're just going to type in offset and you'll see it under the distort folder we're going to drag that onto our nested sequence like so you're not going to see anything happening here in the beginning, and that's fine we're going to make a keyframe under shift center too i'm going to drag that keyframe to the beginning so now what we're going to do is scroll to the right here on our nested sequence adjust this shift center two.

    

    we're gonna drag this value of 540 and we're gonna just play around with this let's go maybe to like 5000 okay so it'll be a pretty quick transition here so check this out so you can see it right there maybe that's a little bit too fast so let's take this value let's go down to like three thousand that's probably going to look a little bit better so now when i play it back we'll get this so that looks a lot better than how fast i had it going before step two for us is gonna be to add an effect called fast blur.

   so we're gonna go to our effects panel and we're just gonna look up bass blur under obsolete we're gonna drag that onto our nested sequence as well and we're just gonna turn this blurriness up to about 115 right so it gets blurry like that but we don't want it to be blurry on the horizontal, and vertical the blur should just be horizontal okay so we kind of get that look step three is gonna be to add a circle okay so we're gonna type in circle and we're gonna click and drag that onto our nested sequence so now with this circle up in our effect controls we're going to change the radius to like 700 right so we get a very very large circle here.

   we're going to go ahead and like keyframe the center and the radius points for this circle just going to keyframe, and move this point around a little bit maybe we'll have it like kind of bleed in to the frame a little bit like that and then maybe uh the radius gets a little smaller you know right around the middle and then we'll go kind of like we'll get big again and then you know we'll drag the position down a little bit here from the center and you know it's making these keyframe, points now when we scroll over the nested sequence you can see how that circle is moving right but like what is this circle for okay so i'm going to explain this to you guys this is kind of an interesting way to make light leaks or film burns in alight motion so what i'm going to do is change the color and i'm going to make it uh somewhat of an orange color you know something like, that looks good and then what we're going to do is we're going to feather this outer edge a ton we start to get this you know really feathered edge here with our orange circle i'm actually going to turn it up a little bit more 

 so we're going to bring this up to even you know let's go to like 950 okay perfect now we got this really nice soft edge come down under opacity and change the blending mode to add and now we can see our clip behind it so now when i scroll over we get that film burn type of look that just kind of comes into frame as the transition, starts step four is going to be to duplicate this light leak that we just made i'm just going to click on our circle here in our effect controls i'm going to hit command c command v right so that's going to make another circle and as you can see our light leak gets a little bit brighter which is awesome i'm just going to change the second circle and i'm going to change the color to something a little more red okay so you know we get more of an authentic fiery type of look now what i'm gonna do is just change the center and radius key points the keyframes so that it looks it's a little bit offset from the first light leak that we created right 

so i'm going to drag it maybe over here to the right side and then you know here in the middle we can you know maybe have it stay on the right side go down a little bit so it's kind of in the opposite corner of the orange and then here at the end you know it's fine if it kind of goes across the screen a little bit maybe a little bit less maybe just to like the middle part okay so yeah now i keyframed,that second film burn that second circle a little bit differently so we have it you know on the other side of the frame it doesn't look identical to our first film burn and that just helps give it that more authentic look and feel the effect is pretty much done all we need to do is add in a little bit noise give it some texture we're going to come over here to our effects tab type in noise and we're going to find it under noise and grain right here we're just going to throw that onto our nested sequence as i increase it you can see this is like very very high percentage here 100 noise we don't want that we just want something a little bit more textured than just like your your normal clip right so we just want to add a little bit of texture in there so i'm going to hover around 10 percent on this noise you know you can see these little noise particles here over the frame so that just helps give it some texture makes it look a little more authentic so i'm just going to hit i on my keyboard, to mark the in point and i'm going to hit o on my keyboard to mark the out point i'm going to come up here to sequence and i'm going to hit render into out this is going to pre-render what we have so far so now you can see this green bar here on top means this sequence is fully rendered out to maximum quality it's not going to lag at all so now when we watch it back check it out [Music] yeah so pretty cool one thing i would change is just how this transition starts and i would actually easy ease out this first offset keyframe so i'm going to right click on that keyframe hit temporal interpolation, go to ease out right there and so now it's going to ease out of the original frame a little bit smoother instead of just going straight into the transition

 it's going to kind of like ramp into the transition okay so that's going to make it look a little bit smoother as well and now i've rendered it so that it's full speed so let's watch it one more time here  yeah so that went a little bit better with the beat right there especially because the kick drum is kind of like offbeat so i do have a few clips here from another music video so we're just going to go through this pretty quickly so i'm going to start at this uh cut right here that hits right on this kick drum i believe or this base yeah so it's like the it's like the drop of this song right there okay so i'm going to go to that cut i'm gonna hold shift go to the left five frames go to the right ten frames i'm gonna cut where both those clips are right click on them nest them so that they're their own clip what's our first step it's offset right so we're just gonna go offset throw that on there keyframe the shift center we'll just throw these numbers around until we're satisfied let's see how fast this offset is we're just going to easy ease out that first keyframe add the circle so we'll throw that circle on there increase our radius let's get really big with this one remember we got to feather it so let's go like a thousand feather and let's change the color to like a red blending mode to add right let's just drag it over here to like the left side a little bit let's keyframe the opacity of this one a little bit let's make it kind of like flicker a little bit on this one right so we're going to keyframe this light leak opacity so when i play it back now check it out it's it's not that noticeable when you watch it in full speed but when i scroll over here frame by frame you can see it flickering that red and now what we're going to do is just throw on that blur so let's just do gaussian blur for this one we'll throw on that gaussian blur and this time let's do vertical let's see what that looks like okay.

so we're going to keyframe, the blurriness starting pretty much right in the middle of that transition so the blurriness has got to be pretty good right away and you know it's going to stay pretty blurry until the motion slows down right so it's going to be pretty blurry so we're going to make a keyframe right there, and then right here at the end it'll get like pretty much back to normal right so now we got like that blur back to normal i actually do like the vertical blur with this gaussian blur maybe even a little bit more than i liked uh the horizontal blur on my first example right so there's the horizontal and there's the vertical the vertical actually goes with the motion more for this specific film role and now what do we need to do we need to add that noise right.

 so we're going to throw in that noise right on top turn this amount of noise up to like you know 20 maybe for this one and now we kind of get that texture that makes it look a little more authentic so pretty cool looking as i scroll over it you know maybe you want to add that other film burn in after all so maybe we'll take that circle hit command c command v change the color you know let's change it to like uh let's change it to the orange again you know let's take the center over to the right side so it's just on the right side maybe drag it up a little bit so it's kind of up in that top right corner [Music] i really like it the one thing i wish was different with this one is that if it ends pretty much on the frame of the very next shot so you can see it kind of ends and the next frame is kind of off-centered uh with the next clip so what we're going to do is just find where that center is so you know right about there you know that looks like it's about centered up so maybe like right there looks good

 so now we got it and then it just kind of stops there at the end and it aligns with the next clip right so that's how you keyframe the offset and kind of get it to look a little smoother now when we watch it back we can see what it looks like in regular motion  awesome, way to kind of make the beat drop slap a little bit harder and if you're a video editor out there who's interested in adding some sauce to your edits definitely check out my website i got a free pack on there where you can try all my products completely for free i got overlays transitions about to add in some overlay textures and some titles for photoshop some cinematic titles i really appreciate you for tuning in thank you so much for watching, this entire video it means the world to me and it helps my channel grow faster so thank you so much for that and until next time guys i'm jake benner peace out you
