You guys are the best. I had not opened Premier Pro in two months, and then I saw this post, and had a few ideas, and then: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33356542

I wanted to make something to celebrate three years of being in Guardian fandom (WHAT IS TIME), and I was wanting to use that taxi scene - it's the first Guardian thing I can remember seeing gifs of on Tumblr, the first thing that made me go "Oh, I should check this out". One minute is the perfect length for "I'll just throw something together to see what it makes". Using the transition challenge was great fun - I did end up having to cheat, because after I'd put everything together (with transitions) I ended up having to cut one of my clips in two to get the flipping to work. But it wasn't really an edit, so...! (I am such a terrible rulebreaker, I know.)

All I will say is that one minute sounds really short until you decide to make a crackvid full of .5- and 1-second clips and need to think of transitions for all of them, lol.

That said, it is done! A humor vid was a good way to play around a bit with transitions, but I think on the whole I'm still pretty conservative about them.
