VfXercise 2 drops

[lola]

Hi all! For those of you who want to try your had at learning special effects/vfx, you can join in with the VfXercises (in addition to or in place of the regular vexercises, whatever you want!)

We're on to VfXercise 2: 

20-30 second edit, with transitions between shots (bonus if you use 3D transitions). You could put transitions between all of the shots, or just some of them.

Transitions are huge on tiktok and instagram edits, and there are a million tutorials for AE transitions (or video star); I played around with them, but also wanted to tone them down a bit for a more vidding-like aesthetic

I made two videos as examples/learning the ropes myself!

Oneus Got A Secret (glitch transitions)

Worship Me (oneus stage mix) 

I used this tutorial for the glitch transition video - he goes super fast but I paused a lot :D 

And I used this tutorial (though just the radial wipe) for the stage mix

OK I made this fairly meaningless little edit! OMG the fusion effects almost melted my computer, definitely working with a hardware deficit over here. I read up on how to improve performance, and it helped a bit but not 100%. In particular I learned to set the project resolution lower while working and also the timeline resolution, and I generated proxy files. Phew.

Unrelated, but staring at this particular footage with this music really altered my mental state, like, pleasantly. The last shot in particular just makes me feel really good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Vidding!
