lolaHi folks! It's time for Summer School Vexercise 2!
Here's the instructions:
Vexercise 2 Focus on Transitions: (1 minute video) Use transitions for every edit. Extreme version: use as many different transitions as you can.
You can also absolutely opt to do the earlier versions of Vexercise 2, Visual Continuity &or Lightbuilding
For the transitions version of this vexercise, you can use the default transitions that come with your editing software, but you can also look further afield for some more possibilities. Here's a video that links to some promising resources for transitions!
If you're new to editing, here are a couple of basic tutorials on using transitions
Using Transitions in Premiere
Using Transitions in Resolve
On a meta note, I feel like the use of transitions in fan video/vidding differs pretty radically depending on which corner of fan video (vidding/edits/etc.) you're in (and also for that matter the time period!) In the vidding tradition, shall we say (Vividcon tradition, maybe?) clean cuts are definitely a key aesthetic for a tight, clean, feel, but even within that editing style, transitions can be used so effectively. But in other corners of fan video, transitions are a highly visible part of the video itself, rather than careful accents.
What are some of your favorite videos that use transitions, either subtly or as a sort of spectacle? Let's link them below and come up with a little playlist of sorts!
