..hey what’s going on guys jake here with visuals and today we are gonna be breaking down seven transitions in Alight Motion
i’m really excited about this video because we are not gonna be using any third-party plugins and all of these transitions can be made with the effects that are built into premiere pro before we begin i just want to say thanks to everybody who has liked commented and subscribed to the channel this community is growing full of wonderful creative people and those of you who have visited my website and downloaded my packs thank you guys so much for the support so the first music video transition we’re going to be breaking down today is masking masking is where something goes across the frame and reveals the clip underneath so you can see right there how in this clip the fence goes across the screen and then it reveals the clip underneath here’s another example right here of this artist stephonix walking out of a gas station and obviously you can see that pull comes across the screen and then it reveals him all of a sudden getting into his car this first clip is on top of this second clip and then what i did is i just keyframed a mask using the opacity all we’re gonna do is start with this square and we’re gonna click on this square on the clip above the bottom clip the second clip and we’re gonna drag these points to the left here and we’re gonna drag these two on the right over to the right side and then
we’re gonna make a keyframe here on the mask path at this point that’s gonna create a little point here in our timeline that says we want our mask to be that shape at this point in time so now let’s scroll to the right until we get the end of this poll right here right so this is the actual clip with no mask you can see he comes out on the other side of that pole so we want the next clip to start to reveal itself right here so let’s go to the very last part where this pole is on the frame so right about there finishes crossing the entire frame.
we’re going to click back on this mask we’re going to zoom out a little bit here from this fit to maybe 50 and we’re going to shift click on both these points on the right and drag these points over to the very end you can see it it follows the pull depending on what slides across your screen you might have to do some more keyframes here in the middle and tweaking these points around but for this shot this pull moves at a steady rate across the screen so obviously the frames worked out quite nicely we don’t have to do very much keyframing for this effect to work the only other part of this effect is just having your second clip underneath
so if i remove this second clip you can see now we’re just getting that black space so that’s the empty spot for your next clip right so we’ll just drag that next clip back underneath and there it is it reveals itself underneath of the clip the next transition.
we’re going to be looking at today is this freeze frame slide effect so check this out [Music] it’s a cut out of him and it slides from the left to the right into the next clip so let’s just delete the transition for now and we’re going to go ahead and start right here at the cut right where the next clip starts so he’s in this kind of like hose right here at the beginning of this next clip and all we’re gonna do is take a screenshot using this export frame button right down here.
we’re gonna make sure it imports into our project hit okay it’s gonna be over here in your project panel i’m just gonna click and drag that screenshot in and i’m gonna cut the excess off of the tail end of that so let’s go one two three four five six six frames is perfect now what i’m gonna do is take this pen tool under opacity and we’re gonna just trace the outline kind of around his stance using the pen tool if you want you can zoom in on whatever it is or whoever it is that you’re cutting out using this zoom tool so we can zoom in a little bit there we can go way farther in maybe to like 400 and we can get right on top of like his outline if we want to and you can notice when i click and drag we can get those kind of like more curvy points coming out there so play around with the pen tool get familiar with it so now i’m just going to hit v on my keyboard to switch back to my pointer and click off the mask now we got him cut out and he’s above the first clip here on the left his screenshot just kind of pops in there and then boom into the next clip so now what i’m going to do with this cut out is right click on it and hit nest and i’m going to hit ok now just click and drag a transform effect onto that nested sequence and we’re going to keyframe the position.
so we’re going to make a point here on the position drag it to the right and then move our position somewhere over to the left so he slides into the frame just like that might adjust these keyframes so that we got the full length of the transition we can keyframe the shutter angle so it starts really blurry
so these transitions are really customizable and i think they work really great for music videos all of these transitions are going to look different depending on your footage and how you use them creatively so have fun be creative and click around inside the program and experiment with the different effects within alight pro if you’re a creative person who loves watching tutorials and enhancing their visuals definitely consider hitting the subscribe button down below going to be dropping a lot of new tutorials on this channel as well as a lot more visual assets on my online store venturevisuals.com and i’d love for you guys to stay on the journey with me this is going to be a great year and i’m excited to see what we all create thanks so much for tuning in to this video until next time i’m jake fenner peace out
