K'aiza k'aiza everyone welcome back to yet another video! welcome back to this channel.
And today is gonna be a very beginner friendly video because we're gonna talk about all
the basics when it comes to transitions in final cut pro so if you're new in final cut pro
this is the right video for you and i hope you'll get some value out of this one let's get it
so how you apply a transition in final cut pro final cut pro comes with a good variety
of transition presets already and that's pretty cool you can find them in the transition browser
somewhere on the bottom right of your screen I mean somewhere on that side of your screen
now yours might not look like this because I have installed some presets in final cut pro
if you guys want some free transition presets check the link in the description
and if you want to know the fastest way to install them I'll also link
that video at the end of this one. Okay! so the easiest way to apply transition to a clip is to
simply drag and drop the transition to where you want it. That's the easiest way. Now you can also
double click on the transition in the browser and it will be applied automatically on both ends of
the clip that you selected but if you want to add the transition specifically on one end of the clip
you have to select what we call the edit points. Check this out guys when you point your mouse over
one end of the clip you will see this bracket sign right here, and that is an edit point. And you can
click on that to select it. Now with that selected you know what to do; double click the transition
and that will add that transition onto that edit point that you selected. Now the question is
how do you trim or adjust the clip underneath the transition? I remember, I struggled with this
for the longest time man until someone mentioned it in the comment section of one of my videos.
So how do you do this? how do you trim or adjust the clip underneath the transition?
There are two ways to do this. The first one is right there on the transition. You can zoom in if you don't
see them but there are actually two small lines or two standing equal signs on the transition.
It doesn't matter how you call it we're just gonna use them anyway. It's not like oh because I don't
know how they're called I'm not gonna use it. Now so here it is if you click and hold on one of them,
one of these standing equal signs you will be able to see a preview of one of the clips underneath
the transition. The two lines on the right will show you the clip on the left, and the two lines
on the left will show you the clip on the right. if you drag any of those two lines you will trim
the clip underneath the transition. Okay the little bow tie in the middle is what we use to move the
transition but it's almost like it's doing the same thing as the standing equal signs. I haven't
figured out yet what's really the difference between all of them but if you click and hold on
that bow tie and drag left or right the transition will hide more of one of the clips and reveal more
of the other. So to the left "to the left to the left", had to throw it in there, will hide more of
the clip on the left yeah and if you move to the right "to the right to the right" it doesn't work ,
it will hide more of the clip on the right so depending on which direction you're moving you
will reveal more of one clip and hide more of the other. It's kind of the same thing, I think
but anyway if there is any difference between these these little signs here on the transition
guys. And you know, let me know in the comment section, of course i'm always willing to learn.
So that's all I got for today guys, I hope we got some value from this one don't forget the link
in the description because there are some free stuff there, free plugins and all that stuff so
yeah! if you don't know how to install them yet, I'll leave a link right here on how to install
plugins and presets and all that stuff. And I will see you guys in the next one hopefully peace
