Hi Guy’s with Candy Style transitions, they’re a really effective way to make your video feel a lot more cohesive and professional and if you’re watching this video I’m pretty sure you’ve been exposed to a lot of transition packs, and tutorials on how to get those awesome totally cool transitions but today we’re gonna be showing you how to create for super simple transitions right inside of Alight Motion.
These are so simple that maybe you’ll start to incorporate them into your regular workflow and we’re going to avoid transitions, that have gotten a lot of love maybe too much love from the internet so no zoom blurs hopefully you haven’t seen all of these before so let’s dive right into it with number, one the card whip this one you might have seen in some of our other tutorials in the past your at motion array,
it’s just like treating your footage like a set of stacked cards and when you want to move on to the next one so once you’ve got your footage down, on the timeline place your first clip on the second layer and your second clip on the first layer like a descending staircase next overlap them, slightly and on your top clip drop on the transform effect from your effects panel.
once it’s here find where you want the transition to happen and keyframe, your position at the start of the transition now move to where you want the transition to finish and keyframe, the position to have your footage completely off screen you’ll probably only need a few frames to make this look right make sure that at all times between these two keyframes there’s a piece of footage overlapping underneath, this top clip then click this drop down and activate the graph for your motion and keyframes.
So now we can set a position keyframe, where we want these clips to start separating and then make a second keyframe and set it to be just off-screen, then by using these back and forward icons for our keyframe we can bring the playhead back to exactly the same location to make matching but opposite keyframes, for our bottom clip so now we have a linear separation but I want to make it a little bit more dynamic bring up the positions.
Alight Motion but like I mentioned, if you want to take your transitions to the next level we have tons of transitions for you to check out here at motion, or Raycom we also have a ton of Alight Motion plug-in transitions that you can download at no additional cost to an existing paid motion or a membership and finally if more learning is your cup of tea we’ve also got loads of other tutorials for Alight Motion, and After Effects feel free to check those out too but that’s it for me thank you so much for watching and I can’t wait to see you in the next video you.
