- Making GoPro videos, especially when you're on vacation,
can be super fun if you focus on transitions.
So today, in this video, I wanted to share with you
seven simple, seamless GoPro transitions
that you can put into practice on your upcoming vacation
or your next travel vlog.
Let's get stuck into it.
(upbeat indie music)
Transition number one
is the POV real time to timewarp transition.
Oh my gosh!
This place is unreal.
(upbeat indie music)
Now, I recommend getting this transition over and done with
early on in your vacation.
If you have an empty beach, this is perfect.
Because you do look a bit weird
whilst you're doing this one.
So you go into your timewarp settings.
The shorter the timewarp, the lower the setting.
So, I chose to use a timewarp interval of ten, 10 times.
We start in real time.
We create our POV motion.
Then we timewarp and we move into our subject.
(upbeat indie music)
(waves lapping)
Oh my gosh!
This place is unreal!
(upbeat indie music)
Number two is the POV clap transition.
Super simple to do.
All you're going to need is a bite mount
and a buddy. (laughs)
So once you've got your bite mount set up in the camera,
you just have to shoot in SuperView.
I tend to use the SuperView digital lens
because it's a little bit more immersive
for point of view perspective.
And then, once the bite mount's in,
find a friend and high-five as many people as you can
and cut on the high five.
(dramatic indie music)
Number three is the splash transition.
We have seen this time and time again
in so many ad videos.
It's so simple to do.
All you have to do is get your GoPro,
hold it out like this in selfie mode,
or have someone holding the camera
and just flick the water towards the camera
and cut as soon as that splash hit the lens.

(upbeat indie music)
Next up, is what I like to call the wide to tight.
Now you can do this either way, tight to wide,
but I like it wide to tight.
Now, all you have to do
is have a subject performing the exact same motion
in two shots.
The first shot you film in wide.
I tend to lean on SuperView for that first shot
and the second shot
you film in either narrow or linear or wide,
but you just come a little closer.
So, because we don't have any zoom on this lens
we just make sure our subject's further back
and then, we come a little closer.
Let's have a look at it.

On the topic of transitions,
one of the biggest switches I made
in my personal creator journey was taking my GoPro videos
and a load of content
that I had just spread thin across the internet
and consolidating it into one place.
In one beautiful, professional website.
Now, if you are looking to do the same
if you're a content creator, a filmmaker,
and you don't have a portfolio website,
I highly recommend that you just put all of your work
in a beautiful website.
And the coolest part about this video
is that it has been sponsored by the amazing team at Zyro.
They have hundreds of designer-made templates
covering all types of niches
like photography and filmmaking.
Creating an epic portfolio website
to house your best content and attract potential clients
can be very simple.

No coding or extensive design skills needed.

the most affordable option in the market.

Transition number five is the jump transition.
Now I like to do this with POV
because it's just easy and I can film it myself.
All you have to do for this transition
is simply create two jumps,
but make sure that you can see your feet in the shot.
So, to make this happen, I like to use SuperView
and have the camera angled down so it can see my feet.
I perform the action twice.
Two different locations.
Cut in the middle!
(gentle electronic music)
The second last transition
is your classic active vlogger transition.
Now, this is a three part transition.
Super simple.
All you have to do is set the camera up on the ground,
on a little tripod, run towards it, jump over it,
and you make the cut when you make the jump.
(inspiring indie music)
Now, the final transition, which is a super fun one,
I like to call this, pass the baton.
Think of it like you're running a 400 meter,
4 by 400.
That kind of thing.
All you have to do is simply get a selfie shot.
Have one person sitting down and snatch the camera.
You good?
- Yeah. Whoo!
