- This video is all about seven different transitions
that you can do right in your camera.
(upbeat music)
So the first three of these transitions
are gonna be in this style of content.
So if you're vlogging and if you're talking to camera
I have got three transitions for that.
And then I've got four when I have the camera
turned around the other direction.
So all these are great to use if you're a YouTuber
or if you're just creating content.
This is some extra little flare
that will take your videos to the next level.
Now, the most important thing about any video
is that story comes first.
Transitions are just something to add to your video
to make it that much better.
So make sure that when you use a transition
there's a reason to use a transition
and it's adding to the story or adding
to whatever it is that you're creating.
Instead of just doing a video where you're doing
crazy transitions all over the place
because people will get bored if it's just like
(mouth swooshing)
Alright for the first one, it's pretty simple
but it's just like this.
And just like that, we are now outside.
So I'm gonna show you guys, I have a second camera over here
so you guys can see the wider shot of how this works.
So to do this transition, you just need to push
something into the camera like it's either your hand
or like you could do like your face.
Or you know anything where you push something
into the camera and when you pull out,
your in a completely different scene.
That's kind of how this one works.
The second transition is called a whip.
And the whip basically is where you whip
from one scene to another.
All of a sudden now, we're walking.
Jesse's helping me out today.
If you guys haven't checked out his channel,
you gotta check it out.
It's new, it's all about photography, good stuff.
But let me show you what the whip is.
Basically, you take your camera and you spin it really fast
one direction, left, right, up, down
and you just continue that movement into the next scene.
And then you whip into the next scene
in a completely different location.
So you use that whip up, down, left, right,
all that good stuff.
One note though, when you're doing these transitions,
make sure that your exposure is on manual.
You don't wanna be like pushing in
or like whipping and have your exposure completely change.
Basically wanna hold your exposure
and it really sells the transition.
Okay the next one is the
(finger snaps)
and just like that, you do a match cut.
So basically you're just cutting on the sound or the action.
So if I was to do something like a
(hand claps)
and just like that you are now in a new scene.
So the whole concept behind this,
is hitting something, either snapping or hitting
and then your transition on that match cut.
Alright so I got a few more transitions
but now I'm gonna shoot Jesse,
show you how to do some cool transitions
that are for B role.
Okay so the next one that I have for you is a wipe.
We're gonna start using the gimbal
for these shots just to make it a little bit smoother.
You don't have to use a gimbal to use these transitions
but it does makes things smoother.
Okay, so I'm gonna go use this tree to do a wipe
and basically what that is you wipe the frame
and you go from one scene to the next.
So for the wipe, what you do is you just need
to cross the frame with an object,
any type of object and you cut right on that cross.
Now a big tip for doing the wipe,
when you go from one screen to the next,
you might need to key frame a cut to transition it
so that you have a cleaner edge.
So you can go in your editing software
and basically key frame your actual frame
being cut in half and moving with the object.
So the next one is very similar to this
in terms of wiping the frame
but instead of moving an object through your lens
what you're doing is you're moving your lens off an object
and then back on and for this, we're gonna use the sky.
The idea behind the sky wipe is basically
that you're going from an object to a person
or whatever it is that you're shooting
and then you're panning up or down
to something else and then using that as your transition.
So instead of using your swipe across,
you're using your up or down so you go up to the sky,
transition in the sky to the next shot, come back down,
you're ow in a different scene.
These are great for transitioning
to a new location, new place.
It's really fun to work with.
You can also go down into the grass
or do different things like that.
That's a little bonus one.
You can push the camera but, the next one
that I have for you is basically an in and out.
So it's the same kind of thing
where you go up from an object
or down from an object or swiping.
But this one you're actually pushing yourself into an object
and then you're pulling out in a different scene.
Another way just to transition to a whole new place.
(chips crunching)
And the in and out works great.
You can do it in a bunch of different ways
and it's just one of those kind of cool transitions,
play with it going in and out of different objects,
all that good stuff.
And I've got one more transition for you.
Basically you have a full frame.
You gotta let the camera be still, like that
and then you walk off.
And the last one is just like that.
You clear the frame
and you come back in the frame on the next spot.
You do just a quick hard cut transition
and that's how you get this kind of like
moving from one scene to another.
It's not like one of those crazy fancy transitions.
It's more of that your walking off
and then your in like a new scene
and then you can like walk back into the last scene.
And then you can walk to the next scene
and then go from there.
So it just kind of progresses the story forward,
whatever it is that your doing.
