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

Introduction:

Everyone wants good-looking visually pleasing videos and one of the first steps to achieve this is by color correcting, your video now in orbital color corrector video you have to understand the color workspace, in Alight Motion and if you're ready for that next step and maybe this is your first time here hi and my name is Lila so lovely to meet you and on this channel I share my best filmmaking tips, and tricks video editing tutorials and basically everything you need to know in order to start creating better videos all of the links are in the description.

Color Correction:

so make sure that you check that out including my color correction vs. color grading video because it is of vital importance and when I say phyto importance I mean vital importance to understand a difference between color correction and color grading if you're ready let's open up the color workspace on the left you see some intimidating complicated graphs but trust me they are not really that complicated and on the right you see different tabs such as basic correction.

 first as you can see this circle is this beautiful gradient of all the colors on the spectrum and then there is this white mass or blob or thing I am not sure what it's called to be honest this white mass or a white blob represents the amount of color in the video as well as what colors are in the video if I up the saturation and make the video more colorful make the colors.

Effects:

 what happens to the waveform as I adjust the exposure of the contrast and all the others I think exposure and contrast speak for themselves now these four the highlights the shadows and whites and the black they all work together and they affect each other so for example if we change the whites it will also affect the highlights too but only in the waveform the slider won't be affected 100 represents the whites and right here is the highlights the shadows and the blacks in case you have a lot of clipping going on you can raise the blacks a little or you can lower the whites a little bit but as you can see if I've raised the blacks it removes the blacks from the video 

Frame:

so I am going to keep it at zero in this case instead I'm going to adjust the shadows a little bit and remove a little bit of the contrast we know that the waveform represents the exposure and all the tone settings of the frame so see what happens if I play through the clip as you can see right here this is gizmos face so it literally represents the frame of your video if at any point you're just like oh my god I just need to start over it it looks like a mess I was too ambitious I was too enthusiastic with it don't worry you don't need to double click on every slider what you can do is just click on the reset button right here and you will reset all of the tone settings now this is the fun part if you go up here to this check mark and you uncheck this box see what happens  

this is where we started I mean I love this so much I could literally check and uncheck the box all day this is so so freakin satisfying, if you liked this video please let me know in the comments and make sure to subscribe and hit that notification bow, in case you want to be notified when more videos come out and if you can't wait for the next video which is totally fine and understandable, because you just want your videos to be so much better click on this video
