- Hey there, I'm TJ, travel and food vlogger.
Want to make a fun video
for your upcoming trip or vacation?
In this video-making tutorial,
I'll show you seven easy transitions you can use
to level up your travel vlogs.
The best part, no fancy equipment
or advanced filmmaking skills needed.
Since you're traveling,
you're going from one place to the next.
The easiest way to make your travel video
even more interesting is to add transitions.
They will instantly give your travel videos a facelift.
Here are seven fun and simple-to-do transitions
for your travel videos.
Number one, teleportation.
With a simple use of your hands, you can teleport yourself
from one location to the next.
Or change up your perspective
for a completely different feeling.
Number two, teleportation with a twist.
Use everyday objects
and treat them like magical teleportation gems.
We're about to head to the pool,
but it looks quite sunny out, so let me grab my hat.
Oh, jeez.
Oh, well, looks like we're here.
Get creative with the items you use,
like your jacket, towel, scarf.
Pretend to wipe the camera lens.
Point to a location on your phone,
and teleport.
The main thing here is to make sure
you cover the whole screen
so you can cut to the next scene.
Now if you're wondering how to edit
all of this sequence together,
hop on to Skillshare, today's video sponsor,
and watch easy-to-follow tutorials
for the video editing softwares like Final Cut Pro,
or Adobe Premiere, or simply iMovie,
which is free to download.
Skillshare is an online learning community
with thousands of classes in filmmaking, photography,
even iPhone video essentials.
Since it is the new year,
it is the perfect time to commit to learning a new skill,
and you can get three months of Skillshare,
of endless learning for just 99 cents.
Not even a dollar.
Less than a slice of pizza.
But this offer is limited time only,
so make sure you sign up at this link,
also in the description, after this video.
Now, onto number three.
The hop.
Hop in place to change scenery in midair.
Or get a little adventurous and jump off of things.
If you don't have a tripod,
you can always ask your friend or family to hold the camera.
Number four,
put a little piece of tape
with a marking at the center of your camera.
Position yourself and walk straight.
Transition places each few steps.
Number five,
using the same idea, walk out
but count how many steps you take.
Move to the side and walk in a straight line this way.
Repeat the same process at different locations.
Just snip it together.
Number six, take your selfie game to the next level.
This works best with a selfie stick,
but totally not required.
Extend your stick, start from the bottom,
and go over your head.
Repeat at different location, cut it together,
and here you have an epic around the world sequence.
Last but not least, transition number seven.
This is a super simple one called quick change.
In the camera, if you have a flip screen,
look closely at where you are,
so aligning the background,
I kind of see some leafs here,
I'm between the chairs right here.
When you have it kind of aligned,
know exactly where you are, put on a piece of clothing.
So what you do now is you cut out
all the parts where you're changing and grabbing the items,
and it should look something like this.
Alright, well it's about time for me
to head out and explore Bali.
I think I'm just missing my jacket.
There we go.
And my hat.
Oh, nice.
And,
gosh, where's my--
Oh, nice.
Well, I'm all set for adventure.
I'm gonna head out now.
Thank you guys for tuning in to this video.
