If you are vlogging indoors, you are filming yourself indoors, you can spice
things up with in camera transitions. And in today's video I've got 7 in
camera transitions which are quite a lot of fun, you can try with your DJI Osmo
mobile 3 gimbal and any smartphone. Android or iPhone. Actually you can try
it out with any gimbal as well.
And for the new faces, Ahoj, my name is Zdenka Darula. If you want to learn how
to take better photos and videos with the latest gear and possibly participate
in creative camera challenges, consider subscribing. And as always, I'm gonna walk
you through all the modes and the settings so you can just follow very
easily. It's very beneficial for newbies and at the end of the video, I'm
gonna play the whole final video edited and color graded of all those
transitions, By the way, it's gonna be edited and color graded on my smartphone, not
in Adobe Premiere Pro. Tutorial on how to edit and colorgrade on a smartphone
will follow in the next video. But today, let's get through all the transitions.
The first transition is a very easy. It is just dip into black. Today I'm gonna
be filming everything in DJI Mimo. The key to all the transitions is to lock
your brightness. The way you gonna lock the brightness is if you tap anywhere on
yourself on the screen until you see the little square with the Sun and then you
just hold until you see a little lock. Then you know that your brightness is
locked. So for the first shot I had my gimbal sitting inside of the furniture.
I'm gonna go ahead and lock my brightness on my face, then I'm gonna
back up and then I'm gonna be slowly coming to the gimbal and eventually
close the door until it's pitch black. Next clip is going to start in another
room. I am choosing a kitchen. Again, I'm gonna lock the brightness, grab some kind
of an object which in my case is a spoon. It's big enough to cover the lens
I'm gonna go ahead and cover the lens and start the clip by uncovering the
location. What will make the clip is if you completely change wardrobe and doing
some action shot. People will mostly expect just revealing a new location,
this will throw them off a little.
Second transition I simply call changing the level or changing the floor. For this
transition you will use full mode or you can also use tilt lock mode. Obviously
again lock brightness, point on something or film an object on the table
and move your gimbal in a quick move down over the edge of the table.
That's clip number one. You will cut it pretty much when it's over the edge of
the table. Next clip stars in completely different room going from door frame
down. Again, lock the brightness on you first, then go up, get ready and start.
When you go down, you might want to try to match the speed, the same speed
you are using when you were going over the table because when you cut those
Clips together it will look a lot smoother if you're going to use the same
speed, but it's got to be pretty quick speed. The reason we are going in the
same direction down is because we want to maintain the same movement.
Whip to wall transition number 3 is gonna be easier to do if you go
change the mode on a gimbal to sports mode. Let me show you why. I'm going to
film myself close to the wall. It can be white, it can be beige. Just make sure it
is one color. Again, making sure the brightness is locked. Out of sudden, I
will whip the gimbal to the side so the whole wall covers the frame. If I had it
on photo mode, it would take a very long time for a gimbal to react. If I have it
on a sports mode, I can whip it fairly quickly. Next clip I'm going to start
from the wall in different room and I'm gonna make sure that the wall has the
same color as the other room. You also want to make sure you match the
brightness from the previous clip as much as you can. I'm going to whip the same
direction, revealing myself. Make sure you also try to match the speed of the whip.
Next transition number 4 is called frame match. And you can use any mode
because you're gonna be sitting on a tripod on the table. Anyways,
make sure you frame it somewhere so you can either hide or walk away. In the first
clip you will do your thing and then either like I said hide or walk away from
the scene.
Quick cut follows and then the next clip starts as you are walking into the frame
from the other side. This is such a fun frame match transition. Transition number
five is a lot of fun too and it's easy to do. Just a whip up and down to
reveal an object. For this whip up and down transition you want to sat your
gimbal to sports mode again. You will literally whip your gimbal up and down.
Now I'm filming my weights on the ground so I'm gonna whip with a gimbal up until
my frame is fully covered just with a grey floor and then whip it quickly down
either on the weights again or I'm gonna reveal completely different object.
I was switching those two objects which are my weights and the camera. The way
you're gonna cut those two Clips together is you will select the frame
which is only the grey floor. That's exactly where you going to cut those
both clips.
Transition number six is through the post or through the corner. For this
transition I would most likely select tilt lock mode as you will be walking. It
is usually the best mode for maintaining the frame while you're on the go. First
clip could be as you're filming yourself, than revealing the room, passing by a
post or wall corner until the whole post covers your frame.
Next clip starts obviously in different room. Frame covered by the post revealing
the room or wall corner in the same direction of the movement.
7th transition is body whip and here you will select sports mode once again
because you want the gimbal to move fairly quickly. First let us start from
filming yourself going down towards feet. Very fast move and then cut,
turn the gimbal around and quickly show your feet close up, so you will go very
quickly from your body onto your feet. Once you are done, go back up very
quickly, cut, turn the gimbal and quickly reveal yourself. So those were
7 fun in camera transitions. Cut together they can look something like
this.
Well hit the thumbs up if you liked today's video and don't forget to
subscribe as in the next video I'm gonna show you exactly how I edit it and color
grade this final transition sequence which you saw on my android which is
samsung galaxy s 10 plus. I didn't do that in Adobe Premiere Pro. Again if you
