Hey there welcome to the video I'm Mark Brown from Editors Keys now if you're
into video editing or Lumafusion consider subscribing to the channel
because that's what we're all about and we're going to have a ton more videos
about Lumafusion now in this video we're gonna teach you how to do a real
cool masking transition and this has been one of the most popular videos we
did for premiere and final cut so now as we're using luma fusion a lot for our
mobile editing workstation I thought it would be a great time to bring this
transition over to luma fusion now the way you do it inside the luma fusion is
actually a little bit different compared to other video editing programs so I
thought we'd show you how we can do it the right way
oh and before we start the tutorial a lot of people have been asking about
this this is the new editors Keys luma fusion keyboard cover that we made with
luma fusion so we're if you want to check one of these out for your smart
keyboard and the magic keyboard coming soon I'll put a link in the description
below but let's get into the tutorial so here we are in luma fusion now I've
chosen two clips and as we've talked about before make sure you choose a clip
that has an object or person covering the top to bottom of the frame all the
way through the shop like this pillar for example you can see it covers the
whole frame so you can mask into the next clip so find a good start and end
point the shortcuts to cut is command B if you have a keyboard for your iPad and
if not it's the scissor icon here so I'll start it here and finish it just
after the teller exits the frame step two is to now add an overlay title you
want to stretch this to fit the full length of the clip below
now go into edit mode on this title by double tapping the clip find the point
where you want the masking to start so just as you see the line coming in now
go back to your timeline again by clicking this arrow at the top left
corner and make a cut with command B and delete the first part now go back to
edit mode on your text layer delete your text by clicking this icon and now go
over to this icon and add a shape and make sure you change this color to green
now drag this shape around to the middle part of your clip area around here and
resize it so it fits the full frame if you need to duplicate the shape by
clicking this icon right here
so now we have our first one done scroll through your timeline to check if it
fits nicely now go to this start point and go about here and add a keyframe by
clicking here now move a few frames further and do the same thing making
sure the shape fits the line of the wall or the object you're using now what you
want to do is keep adding keyframes until you fill the whole frame with the
green shape it might take a little bit of time to get it all perfect so don't
worry if you make a few mistakes while goes I'll speed this part up now
okay so go to the start and clean this part up to match it and now it should
look like this where the green shape comes in and then fills the whole frame
right now go to your timeline by clicking this arrow above have a look at
it and see how it is I can see here that this bit needs editing so if that's the
case just go back and fix it
and there you go it looks a lot better so once you've refined and made it look
the best you can go down to this icon here and click export the project make
sure it's in the correct settings for your project
ours is 4k and 100 megabytes per second
now you'll see it up here here so select this and delete what you've just done so
it's just the exported file in here now insert the clip you want to transition
to and place it below the clip remember if you make any mistakes use the
shortcut commands it to undo or this little arrow here now double tap your
top layer and select this icon here at the bottom click on the key icon and
select green screen key so at first it will look quite bad so what you have to
do is play around with the settings here and what I've found for our Clips is the
best settings are hue range around 40 saturation and brightness to about 70
and then when you scroll through it looks so much better but there's still a
very harsh line here that looks really bad so the way to fix this is to go over
to the tool that looks like the water droplet here and add Goergen five
instantly you can see it looks a lot better but now the whole clip is blurred
to fix this go to edit again and go to your keyframes now find the spot where
it just starts add a keyframe and apply no blur then go one more frame across to
where it begins add another keyframe and increase the radius blur so there you go
have a look and see if it needs refining a good tip I always say is if you have
both Clips moving in the same direction it makes the transition a lot smoother
and seamless now another tip to get this looking even better is to use speed
ramping now luma fusion doesn't support speed ramping yet so I'll show you
another way to still achieve the same look so just find the spot where you
want it to speed up cut the clip then do the same where you want it to end make
sure you do this on both Clips then go into edit by double tapping click this
icon here which says speed and reverse and increase the speed to about three
times and then make sure you do this to both clips
now I think that looks pretty great of course you can adjust the speed to your
liking too but I think this works perfectly for our Clips now if you want
to make it even more seamless definitely add some sound-effects and some music so
let's take a look at the final outcome
so there we go I hope that has really helped you now if you've got any
