3 Creative Uses for Transitions Filmora 9



Transitions what if I told you we could use them for more than simply blending together two clips what am I talking about keep watching and I'll show you some interesting ways to spice up your next video with Fillmore 9 hi everyone its Elliot from filmora here to empower your inner video creator since the launch of Fillmore 9 transitions aren't just used for moving between clips in your main video track.

there's a lot of creative ways you can combine transitions with titles motion elements and media on the other tracks of your timeline in this video we're going to talk about three creative ways you can use the more nines built-in transitions ready let's go first the stroke affect the strobe the effect is a popular effect used in music and dance videos that mimic the look of a flashing strobe light, you could create one easily in Fillmore 9 using.

Only the built-in sample colors and the flash transition first, make sure whatever footage you want to add the strobe over is already sitting in video track 1 then go to file and open up the Preferences menu under the editing tab change the photo duration to 2 frames now go to sample colors and drag the black one into the second video track if you don't have a second video track drag it into space above video track 1 and video track 2 will be created your black sample color is treated as a photo so its duration will be two frames double click on the black clip to open the image editing menu under.
Where it says compositing turn the opacity down to 60% so you can see your clip through the black click okay and then in your timeline copy the black clip and paste a copy next to it then go to the transitions menu and find the flash transition in the basics folder drag the flash between your two black Clips drag your cursor to select the two Clips and the transition as a unit then copies and paste that a few times.

If you have a long segment to cover you may want to recopy once you've got a bunch of them down this is a good time to click the render button because you'll want to make sure that the preview is smooth that's it now all you have to do is just watch a stroke effect back next we're going to talk about combining transitions with text the title effects in film or a nine all have preset animations but what if they aren't exactly what you need you can find all the great options in the animations tab but if you don't find the perfect one or.

If you want the entering and exiting animations to be different then you can also select no animation and head over to that transitions tab make sure to test out your transitions because while many transitions will affect the media they are applied to there are some that will always affect all the visible media underneath them you can choose either the same transition or a different one for the end of your text effect there you go a whole new transition for your title picture and picture or p IP.

When you have your main footage taking up most of your screen but you also have this smaller box with different footage by default a p IP clip will just appear or if you double click on it you'll see some animation options in the motion tab these motions are great for applying to graphics but for p IP clips they can be limiting because you cannot control how long the animations last instead of applying a motion try applying transitions to the beginning and end of your IP clip.

Make sure you choose a transition like a line that only affects the image that's appearing and not a transition like fade that affects all your footage you can adjust the length of your transitions by dragging their edges or double-clicking on one to enter the specific duration pretty cool huh thank you for watching which one of these transition effects are you going to try first let us know in the comments.
