All language subtitles for 11. How to use transitions and filters

So if you could at this point, just make sure you've got the wildlife media in the project panel,

how are we going to move on to something called transitions or video transitions?

Now I've seen some pretty groovy video transitions in my lifetime growing up in Africa on a Saturday

morning.

There was this sort of like top of the pops for the country music show.

And there were these local music videos that were being played and they used to go overboard with video

transitions something like this.

So they are pretty nifty, I would say, but it can make your video kind of look a little bit naff,

as they say.

So the real secret here is just to make sure your transitions are as subtle as possible.

I think this is the best thing you can do, but it's totally up to you what you would like to do.

OK, so what I'm going to do is just so things are a little bit more clear for you on the screen.

I'm going to come to the track manager and I'm going to set my.

Track heights to bake.

And what I'm going to do is I'm just going to hover over the top of the timeline here and click hold

and drag and drag up.

So now I have quite a lot of space here to show you what I want to do.

And if you're wondering what I'm doing here, I'm just scrolling up and down with the mouse roller just

to, well, go up and down.

So adding transitions are quite simple.

But first of all, let's just click, hold and drag some of these clips into our timeline.

So I'm just going to grab these six clips here and I'll drag them in, and I'm going to click on the

Zoom to fit icon here just so I can see all of them.

Now, to add transitions, it is pretty straightforward.

You can just come to the transitions icon here, and we have a whole host of different transitions that

are available.

In fact, I don't know how many there are, but there are hundreds upon hundreds that you can choose

from.

So let's try one of them out here now to preview one of these transitions.

All you have to do is just click on it.

And while this one's already downloaded, but typically what you would have to do is click on it, let

it download, and then you can click on it once again just to see what it looks like in the preview

window.

OK, so we have this one here, which is dispersion blur.

I'll click and drag and I'll just pull it, actually just put it here in the middle because it would

just be better.

I'll put it here in between my two clips.

Now this comes up as red, which means it does need to be rendered.

So I'll just select these clips.

And if you don't know already, because I don't think I showed you before, this is actually another

icon you can click on to render your videos.

So I can just click on this and it will start to render.

And now the rendering line is green, so I can now just press play on my spacebar.

And I can see what this looks like.

With regard to this transition, what you can do is you can just click on it.

And click and drag to the left, and you can also click hold and drag to the right, so you can just

choose where you want to place it.

But typically, I just leave mine in the center now to gain access to the settings for this particular

transition.

And it's the same with any other transition.

You can just double click on it.

This window will appear.

And while I've just shown you just now how to do this manually, you have the position so you can have

it in the middle, which is called overlap, prefix and postfix.

But more importantly, you have this timing stamp here.

And basically, you can just move your cursor over this time area here and you can make the transition

longer or shorter.

And that's up to you.

So I'm going to leave it at one second and I'm just going to click, OK.

And I'm going to select these clips here, and I'll press enter my keyboard to render the clips.

And that's pretty good.

So anyway, let's just take a look at this window here.

This top area where the rest of these transitions are now, like I said, there are quite a few of them.

There's there's hundreds of them, actually.

And when you click on one of these, so let's go for this one called wind.

You can see it down notes here.

And if I go to downloads, I will find the one called wind within here.

And you can also use the transition search bar here if you want to.

But basically, all of the ones you download will end up in this window here.

But more importantly, you have favorites here.

So I have faith and flash, which are already favorites of mine.

And there's some others, but I still need to add them.

But basically, to add one of these transitions to your favorites, all you have to do is just find

one of these transitions.

So let's just go for color distance.

I'll click on it to download.

Actually, this one's already been downloaded and not just click on the heart here.

I'll click on the heart and you can see here.

Now we have three favorites.

And here is color distance here.

So pretty cool stuff.

I guess, like I said, I want to cover a fax, which is this icon here, and I'm just going to select

let's go for something in the center.

Let's go for the bird video here and I'll just move the timeline indicator over this clip.

Now these effects work are exactly how the transitions work.

Almost exactly.

But just to let you know if you take one of these effects.

So let's go for Globe and click hold and drag and put it onto your clip.

You can see by this blue indicator here with this little star, it shows that there is an effect that

is applied to this actual clip, and you can see the the line is red, but without having to render

the clip if I just press the spacebar to take a look at the clip.

You can see we do have this bit of a glow here.

I don't know if you can see it with through the recorder, but it is there now to get rid of one of

these effects.

You can just right click on the clip, go to effect and then click on delete effects.

And as you can see, I have paste effects here, which is available.

That's only because I've just copied one of the effects, but basically you can copy and paste these

effects so you can click on copy effects, go to another clip.

So let's just go to the Eagle one here.

Or it could be a hawk.

I'm not really sure.

Go to effects and then click on paste effects.

And here we have the effect.

And I think there was a shortcut.

Let's just take a look at that.

OK.

There's no delete effect shortcut, which would be pretty handy.

But anyway, to get rid of the effects, like I said, you can just click on delete effect and once

again click on Delete Effect.

On the Eagle clip, I just remember if you have any of these that are your favorite, you can just click

on the heart here and it will be added to your favorites.

So I've just added that one.

They're called glow.

So that's pretty straightforward stuff, but it is good to know the ins and outs of these kinds of things,

while in this case, transitions and effects, for instance, how to access the effects for the transitions

by double clicking on it.

I mean, if somebody doesn't know how to use for Mora, that can take some time for them to to figure

this out.

And in fact, some people never figure it out.

Some people think that, OK, this is just the transition I'm stuck with.

OK, so we'll move on now.

Now in the next tutorial, I've got a really interesting one for you.

We're going to move on to something called color correction.

And this really does make a huge difference to your video clips or just generally speaking, your videos.

So anyway, let's move on and I'll see you in the next tutorial.
