So we know a lot of you loved our masking transition tutorial,
well in this video we're going to show you a cool way of doing those kind of
transitions without any masking at all so let's get into the streets.
right let's go!
so we've come outside to show you something you can do which is probably a
lot more easier than the masking transition we showed you before because
actually a masking transition in final cut or premiere
can take a lot of time and in many cases you can achieve the same results that
you would have seen in our previous video up here
so we've come outside and the first set of transitions we're going to show you
which you can do just using your camera are called the whip pan transitions okay
so the first one is the whip pan transition now this one was made famous
by people like Edgar Wright and it's really you know really really
simple to do all you have to do is essentially
keep your focus and then whip sharply to the right or the left but the real
important thing here is you want to make sure that when you transition into your
next shot that you're also with panning starting
in the same direction so if you finish a shot and go from left to
right you want to start your next one going from left to right
two so they match up perfectly it won't work if you get it the other way around
so that's the cool thing about a whip pan transition you don't just have to go
left to right you can also go top to bottom or bottom
to top too and the next thing we do a lot of the time which is really easy
to use is use an object and this makes it much more
like the masking transition we showed you in the previous tutorial so you can
use a pole a car a vehicle a tree anything but
we'll show you that now so panning behind an object is a really
really easy transition to do and i think the effect
is really cool it really transports your viewer to somewhere new
so next we're going to show you how you can transition using colors as well
so solid colors are also cool to transition into so you can transition
into this
and then back out of a red sign like that and it creates a cool transition
like this
so
okay so let's jump into adobe premiere pro and i'll show you how you can make
these transitions work for you using this footage so the first
transition we showed was the whip pan transition so making
this transition work is you know really actually very simple all
you have to do is simply put the two clips together
that you filmed and then what you want to do is get your
first clip and then just end this during the
motion blur whip pan that you've done and then you want to grab your second
clip and then get that second clip to start
during the beginning of the whip pan motion that you did
where it's all nice and blurry so all you need to do then once you've got them
both on your timeline is simply join together these two cuts
and timed right you'll have the perfect transition it's really
as simple as that so another little tip to
make sure you perfect this is to make sure that you've got your camera
settings dialed in a lot of people will always use
automatic focus you know it's getting better and better
but for a transition like this you really want to switch over to manual
focus and then move your shot to where you
want to end get the manual focus dialed in and then
start your shot and do this for obviously
the shot you're leaving and the shot you're going into and this just means
that your subject will be perfectly in focus when
you do that whip pan the last thing you want is the focus to
be kind of hunting as it reaches the subject and you know
you get that kind of in and out of focus effect you don't want that
so always use manual focus so another little tip
is to make sure you use some sound effects so you can see here in premiere
we've got our two shots but we've added some sound effects below
them and a well-placed sound effect can really trick the viewer to thinking
they're watching the same sequence of shots you know if you've got
a shot and the sound suddenly jumps then it's
going to really take your viewer out of the experience so you want to
make sure you've got some some sound effect beds that just go
between the shots and here you can see we've used some
washers and we've also used some ambient street sound effects to take you know
the viewer on the journey now if you need
any sound effects i'll put a link in the description to where we get all of ours
now the second transition is just as easy to do
so this is the transition using the objects
and all you need to do is really follow the first steps
in the first example so what you want to do is
cut during the motion just as the object takes over the full frame of the shot
now don't worry if it's too slow you can always
add a little bit of speed ramping and again
just make sure you have your camera set on manual focus for this one
now you can get really creative with this one and the great thing about this
second transition is that you can use almost any object
that you want just remember though that you have to have the same movement as
in the previous transition and you also want the object to completely
fill the frame so for example this bag backpack shot is very very similar to
our really popular masking transition we did
in adobe premiere pro where we showed you how to mask but a lot of people
thought that was quite time consuming and a little bit complex and to be
honest it is if you're a beginner so you can almost get the same masking
transition effect without doing any masking at all
so in this case instead of doing the lengthy masking
just make sure you fill the screen with the
black backpack or a similar color if you're using something else
and then start your second shot coming out of something similar
to the object or and just make sure it looks like the previous shot
and again make sure you're going in the right direction and you'll get a
transition just like this now for the third one
we're using colors and colors are a great way
of creating a really unique and creative transition
so for this one you have to be careful as you want to make sure you match
the same kind of colors and shades within the color too
so if it's not quite right then you'll have to do a little bit of work in post
and you can see that's what we've done here in premiere
now this one here is a really good one because you can get really
creative with what you're transitioning to and
from and to do this you know it's just the same process as before
just put the two clips together and then hide the cut
using the colors and then just find a frame
that matches the next color as close as possible now in some cases the
colors aren't going to match exactly so to help make this technique smoother in
this shot you can see we've also added a little
tiny cross dissolve effect and you know that's what we've done here
and i think you'll agree it just helps blend the two reds together absolutely
perfectly
so there you go what do you think of those three transition ideas
i really like these because it gives you a very similar look
uh to the masking transitions that we taught you before
but it's just a lot easier and simpler to do as long as you plan that shot
but what i like is you get something that a looks really really creative
but b you can do this kind of shot on your iphone so if you're creating an
instagram story you could use your iphone to film you
know get one shot do the whip pan transition
do the cuts edit it in something like lumafusion or premiere rush or even
imovie and then you can use these on your
social media so they're great for quick run and gun videos but they're
also great to add in sequences like you've seen in this video
but anyway if you've got any questions let me know put a comment below as i
promise we do get back to every single one
and if you want to learn more about the actual masking transitions that we've
done before you can see that by clicking up here or
checking out our other playlists but anyway thanks for watching and i'll
see you in the next video
