Hy that's going on youtube jake here with venturevisuals and today i couldn't be more stoked to be showing you guys these three easy transitions to recreate in  Alight Motion  

so i use each of these transitions i'm about to show you guys in a variety of projects like music videos creative edits weddings commercials you name it these transitions are very practical transitions and look good with most projects 

so if you're excited to learn about these transitions hit that like button down below and let's get right into the video so this first transition i'm going to show you guys is just a simple wipe transition here in Alight Motion  as you can see here it's a pretty simple transition so on my timeline here you can see this first clip is him wrapping in the bedroom and then the second clip is kind of him standing in the doorway so the first thing you got to do is come up to your top clip and go ahead and hit the p button on your keyboard just keyframe the position right where it is so this clip is perfectly aligned with this composition now we're going to come all the way to the end of this clip where we want the transition to end 

we're just going to go ahead and move this clip to the right and you do want to make sure that this first clip is lined up pretty close with the edge of the composition just like that so now we have two keyframes we have it right where it belongs and then we have it wiping to the right the next thing i like to do is just turn on motion blur for both layers motion blur just adds blurriness to whatever it is that you're moving around the frame it just makes all the motion look a little more natural so the next step is just come to your second keyframe here where this second clip is totally revealed and 

    we're just going to take this parent pick whip tool and connect it to our top clip now this is going to go ahead and move the second clip with the first clip so you see that happening now we have the first clip moving but as it's moving the second clip is also moving into the frame it's not just moving out of the way and revealing the second clip both of these layers are moving together now to add some extra sauce to this i'm going to right click this first keyframe come down to keyframe assistant and hit easy ease out and i'm going to do the same thing for the second one except i'm going to hit easy ease in and now we should get a really dope wipe transition now you can play around with these keyframes and shorten them up or make them longer depending on how long you want your transition to happen so technically we could make a really short transition like this you know very quick or we could elongate it and make it you know a little longer a little bit more time consuming so there's a slower wipe right there it's a pretty customizable easy transition to make

 let's jump into the second transition so the second transition is a mask transition and what a mask transition is is basically you're taking a clip and something is moving across the screen whether that be a light pole a building structure a tree could be anything but you have something that's moving across the frame so for this example you can see here i have this first clip on top that is my two buddies drinking some beers and as we go over to the right we see this light pole that starts to creep in to the frame over here on the left so as that light pull creeps in from the left it reveals the next clip underneath so as you can see it's a combination of camera movement and having something slide across your screen and also creating this mask right here to get this transition effect

 now we're just going to recreate this from scratch 

so i'm going to go ahead and reset everything quickly here okay so as you can see our top clip is lying above our bottom clip we want to scroll over to where the object starts to move across the frame so as you can see this light pole is really moving across the frame right at this moment so with that clip selected we're just going to go ahead and hit this rectangle tool now you can also use the pen tool to make a mask but for this example we're just going to use this rectangle tool and we're just going to make this rectangle across the entire frame just like that so that's gonna be our first mask point so now with our mask one selected underneath our layer 

we're gonna go ahead and hit a keyframe under the mask point like that and

now we're just gonna scroll to the very end where the light pole is basically out of the frame we're going to come up here to our selection tool we're going to move these points that we've created for this mask on the left we're going to move them all the way to time up with the lamp so you can see now we have the mask moving with the lamp across the screen now it's not perfect and i can see here it's definitely not connected to the pole as good as it could be so what i normally like to do is spend some time on this masking process where i'm just going to all these ind

hey guys Rc here for alight basics a weekly series where i teach you all the ins and outs of adobe premiere pro and today i'm not doing it alone we have a feature today with no one other than storisium now today we are going to teach you eight different transitions that are so simple that you don't even need presets for them so without any further ado let's get started and fire up adobe alight now let's start with a visual transition that depends on your shots when transitioning from one shot to another look for a second shot with visual elements like rocks trees or other objects now place the two shots behind each other then duplicate the second clip and freeze frame the first frame now place that above the end of the first video track then we're going to take our time and properly mask around an object now this can also be a rock a billboard a person whatever if there are multiple objects on screen you can duplicate the layer and mask these objects as well okay once you've masked your object nest the layer and go to the effect panel take the transform effect and drag it onto your nested layer then go to the effect controls panel and deselect the composition shutter checkbox set a custom one of 180. then animate the object so that it pops on screen you can do this by placing keyframes for the position property now don't forget to ease your keyframes once you've made this animation now you can make this longer by dragging the layer more over the first video of course and if you have multiple objects try and play around with different speeds and different directions and as a finishing touch you can always right click on the cut between the two video clips and add a cross dissolve but make it quite short this will give you this result hey jill thanks for having me on your channel it's awesome to be here the next transition is one of my personal favorites and i like to call it the glow transition it's a little similar to the dip to white effect that is built into premiere but also a little different anyway you'll see inside premiere we're going to use these two clips on the timeline for the demo i'm going to start by adding an adjustment layer you can do this in the project panel click on the new icon and then select adjustment layer you can accept the default settings and click ok we can now drag the adjustment layer over to the timeline and place them on top of the two clips of course you can choose any duration for the transition but in this case i'll go for two seconds and i also want the adjustment layer part on the second clip to be a little longer than the part on the first clip    

completion and then we need to create two more keyframes with the value 100 and then put these two at the beginning and the end and also here we're going to make it a bit more smoother by right clicking on the first keyframe and then select ease out and then right click on the middle keyframes and select bezier and for the last keyframe we'll select ease in and if i now open up the graph you can see that there's a nice curve this will give more smoothness to the animation in some cases mainly depending on the footage the cut between the clips might still feel a bit rough but you can fix this by adding a simple cross dissolve effect between the two clips this will make it blend a lot better and that is all you need to know to create this awesome drawing transition let's have a look at the final result [] wow that was awesome now guys if you want to see our next four transitions then head over to sterezium's account the video is also linked in our credit scene so go ahead and look at those other transitions if you want to master all of them i'll see you guys next week for a new live stream and a new tutorial and as always stay creative

 today's video i'm going to show you how to create a really cool slideshow animation effect between two photos plus add some sound effects let's get into it so here in my timeline i have these archival photos of bananas that i got from the wikimedia commons and by the way if you're a documentary filmmaker or a journalist and you need access to some really cool archival source photos wikimedia comments has a ton of public domain photos that you can use for free in your videos so for this particular effect 

i'm going to add a slight blur and just a very subtle zoom effect between these photos and this effect was inspired by johnny harris's documentaries on his youtube channel and also his recent video on the history of bananas in central america highly recommend it that's why i chose these banana archival photos so the first step is to select the second photo here we're going to start with just adding an animation to the very beginning of the second photo so we're going to go up to effects and search for gaussian blur and drag and drop this or you can double click if you have the photo selected double click to apply it and now over in effect controls you can see we have the gaussian blur now we want the photo to start out blurry 

so we're going to increase the blurriness here to 40 and then we want to keyframe so we're going to select the stopwatch the toggle animation to create this first little keyframe here now we want this to be a fairly quick transition it's a very subtle effect so we're going to move around six frames forward so you can play around with different timings but i'll just use my arrow keys to go one two three four five six and i'm going to reduce this to zero so now between these two keyframes we have this very short little blur effect

 so now we need to add a subtle scale and animation but we're not going to animate the scale and i'll tell you why in just a second instead you're going to go over to effects and search for transform and this is underneath distort and we're going to double click to apply this to the same photo and here we have transform and here we're going to add some animation to the scale so if you want it to start more zoomed in we can increase this let's say to 125 we need to press the toggle animation and now we can move six frames forward and let's bring this down to 110 and then we can move like two frames forward just to have it zoom out a little bit more let's do 108. and then to make it more smooth we can lasso and select these keyframes and control click and select ease in or you can right click and this one we can ease out

 so now when we play it back it looks really cool just a very subtle zoom out with a blur just like that it's very simple but it's effective and when we add sound effects later in the video it's really going to come to life now we can copy and paste these effects that we added so we can press command or control to select both of the effects press command c or control c to copy them then we can go to the next photo that we want to apply this effect to let's say the third one here and we can go up to effect controls move the playhead to the beginning make sure you have this window selected and then command v to paste it and now it's applied to this photo and remember i said i would explain this the reason why we applied the keyframe animation to the scale of the transform effect and not at the regular motion controls is that way if we ever want to make any changes to the scale or the position it won't screw up the keyframes that we had so we can go up here and if we want to zoom out a little bit here

 let's see down to like 32 it's not gonna mess up the animation that we did down here and we can always make some adjustments and you can repeat the same process to every photo so now we have this really cool slideshow effect and it's really subtle to do and the next thing we need to do is add some sound effects and by the way my name is kelsey and welcome back to gal if this video is helping you out so far be sure to give it a big thumbs up and subscribe so that way you see when my videos and my tips become available on youtube and this video is sponsored by epidemic sound epidemic sound is my go-to source for sound effects and music and it's unlimited you can download as much as you want and it's social media friendly youtube friendly so you won't have any copyright strikes for using any of the sounds and you can use my link below to get 30 days free so that means you can get 30 days free of unlimited music and sound effects to download and try out in your videos if you're looking for some really cool background music some like lo-fi indie tracks that go well with voice i've put together a playlist if you just go to epidemic and you search premiere gal you'll find my premiere gal editing essentials playlist and it has some great tracks to help you get started so use my link below to get 30 days free and now i'm going to show you how to use some other sound effects to spice up this slideshow effect so between the two slides here 

i want to have a projector slide so if you go to epidemic sound you can see that there's music and then there's sound effects of course you can browse by their featured sound effects as well as by category down here but you can also just go to search and from sound effects we can search for projector and it will bring up a bunch of different sounds that we can play and try out so we can try projector screen one projector screen two it's not really what i need let's try this that's a nice slide sound effect and also if you want some ambience behind the slide sound effect for example if a machine is just playing some slides this slide projector 8 is just a nice background noise that you can add to your video so we can go ahead and download these and once they're downloaded you can import them into premiere pro's product panel you can see i've already done that so then we can just drag and drop these effects into the timeline so slideshow projector 14 is the slideshow effect so i can zoom in here and just place this at the cut point i can press option to duplicate that and just repeat that great and then we can take the slideshow projector 8 drag and drop it down there press c and cut at the end and delete that excess play around with the level and let's see how this sounds and look at that just two sound effects and already it's feeling more like a projector screen like a real life one and you can add some music from epidemic if you want to bring it to life so if you're looking for a quick way to do the slideshow effect on multiple different resolutions let's say you want to do portrait vertical stories square 4k and 1080p hd and you don't want to build it all from scratch i've put together a photo slideshow creator template that's on sale on my website and it has four other different types of transitions so if you just don't want the zoom blur transition i also added you know swipe left swipe right up and down and it's really easy to use it's just drag and drop in your own videos or photos and you can use it let me just quickly show you how it works once you download and purchase the pack you will see here that you can import your own footage

so i can go in and just take some of my photos here and let's say that you wanted to use the portrait you could go into the slideshows let's say we want the swipe one and see what this looks like if you want to update these to your own photos we can then just go ahead and for example this placeholder you can double click on the first placeholder and drag and drop in your own photos replace this with some dogs here so if you want to add this french bulldog go ahead drag that in go up to effects and scale it into place and then when we go back to the portrait you can see that that photo's been replaced just like that and you'll notice that there's a film crop you can just turn off the visibility if you don't want that and there's a portrait color adjustment layer that you can turn off if you want the original style of the photo and there's some light leaks as well that you'll see that you can turn off as well that i generated and again underneath edit you'll find the same exact sequences for hd 4k portrait square and vertical and there's two different types so there's the classic which is that zoom blur effect and then there's the swipe effect which goes up or down just like that and you can move around so you can take any of these and change it for example you can go down to the swipe transitions and if you want it to swipe left for example you can go down here and this is vertical 

so you can go into vertical and you can take you can open this up and you can copy this transition go back to vertical and you know make sure you're on video layer 2 when you paste this you can literally delete that command v to paste that transition and now after you press enter to render it out very quickly you will see it's a swipe left transition so you can you know modify which direction you want the swipes to go and one more thing i wanted to mention let's say you already have a premiere pro project file open and you want to import the template into the premiere pro project what you can do is just drag and drop the file so here i have the download you will see here the alight Motion pro project file just drag and drop it into the project panel and then it will ask you to import the entire project and you can create folder for the imported items and allow for duplicate media press ok and then you'll see all of the same folders here that you can open up and reuse and you can import this project file as many times as you want if you want to create new sequences with new media for example and the sound effects are included so the media that's included in this template is in the public domain 

so all of these archival photos of bananas are included in the template so that way you know which placeholders are where and you can just replace those images with your own photos so definitely go check that this slideshow pack and anytime that there's an update you will get that update after you purchase it and you can use it in any type of video so yeah that's it for today's video i really hope that this slideshow effect helps you out it's going to be great for documentary films for weddings for just sharing personal stories too thanks again to epidemic sound for sponsoring today's video don't forget to use my link below to get 30 days free of unlimited music and sound effects thanks so much for watching and as always keep creating better video with gal see you next time bye
