39 00:01:28.992 --> 00:01:32.742 To add a transition, just simply drag it onto 40 00:01:33.737 --> 00:01:37.525 the cut or the place in between two clips. 41 00:01:37.525 --> 00:01:38.863 And you can see there, 42 00:01:38.863 --> 00:01:42.557 that I can drag it and leave it on the left, 43 00:01:42.557 --> 00:01:44.184 in the middle, or the right, 44 00:01:44.184 --> 00:01:45.861 however it's highlighted. 45 00:01:45.861 --> 00:01:48.547 So if I put it right in the middle, 46 00:01:48.547 --> 00:01:50.974 let's play though this, 47 00:01:50.974 --> 00:01:55.247 you see what happens, is it has this 3D cube spin. 48 00:01:55.247 --> 00:01:57.978 It looks like it's a cube and it's spinning. 49 00:01:57.978 --> 00:02:00.791 Let me zoom in here so you can see what's going on. 50 00:02:00.791 --> 00:02:03.476 I can make this slower, 51 00:02:03.476 --> 00:02:05.809 or faster by taking the edge 52 00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:09.836 and dragging in or out. 53 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:15.958 So, if I drag it out it will be slower. 54 00:02:15.958 --> 00:02:18.875 If I drag it in, it will be faster. 55 00:02:19.832 --> 00:02:22.005 And I can also move it around. 56 00:02:22.005 --> 00:02:25.670 So if I click it and drag to the left, 57 00:02:25.670 --> 00:02:28.509 then it will start faster, 58 00:02:28.509 --> 00:02:32.342 and if I drag to the left it will start later. 59 00:02:33.376 --> 00:02:37.043 Okay, one thing to know about transitions, 60 00:02:37.043 --> 00:02:38.769 let me just take these two clips, 61 00:02:38.769 --> 00:02:40.778 and I'm going to teach you something cool right here. 62 00:02:40.778 --> 00:02:42.909 To quickly duplicate any layer 63 00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:45.150 or any clip on your timeline, 64 00:02:45.150 --> 00:02:47.049 hold the Option key down, 65 00:02:47.049 --> 00:02:49.058 Alt if you're on a PC, 66 00:02:49.058 --> 00:02:51.045 and then click and drag, 67 00:02:51.045 --> 00:02:53.414 I'm still holding Alt down, or Option, 68 00:02:53.414 --> 00:02:54.747 and then let go. 69 00:02:55.624 --> 00:02:57.624 It duplicates that clip. 70 00:02:58.741 --> 00:03:00.973 I could also select them, 71 00:03:00.973 --> 00:03:02.890 press Ctrl or Command c 72 00:03:03.968 --> 00:03:04.958 on my keyboard, 73 00:03:04.958 --> 00:03:08.906 then Command v to paste, or Ctrl c to paste. 74 00:03:08.906 --> 00:03:11.295 And it will paste it into 75 00:03:11.295 --> 00:03:14.500 this layer that you have selected. 76 00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.107 Earlier, we learned about these 77 00:03:17.107 --> 00:03:20.031 track selection tools over here, 78 00:03:20.031 --> 00:03:23.319 which have to do with the source monitor 79 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.874 when you are selecting and overriding, 80 00:03:25.874 --> 00:03:27.541 or inserting a clip, 81 00:03:28.863 --> 00:03:29.696 these 82 00:03:30.648 --> 00:03:32.859 toggle track modes right here, 83 00:03:32.859 --> 00:03:36.524 this selects where you can copy and paste items. 84 00:03:36.524 --> 00:03:38.352 So say I'm going to delete that, 85 00:03:38.352 --> 00:03:40.116 then I select these two, 86 00:03:40.116 --> 00:03:44.142 and then say I want to paste it to the second track, 87 00:03:44.142 --> 00:03:46.380 I'll just select V2, 88 00:03:46.380 --> 00:03:48.209 paste it, it's on the second track. 89 00:03:48.209 --> 00:03:49.779 Okay, enough of a tangent, 90 00:03:49.779 --> 00:03:51.744 that's a cool trick for you to do. 91 00:03:51.744 --> 00:03:54.358 What I wanted to show you is, 92 00:03:54.358 --> 00:03:58.145 say you have two clips that end and they meet together. 93 00:03:58.145 --> 00:04:00.807 So see how I dragged the end of 94 00:04:00.807 --> 00:04:02.485 this first clip to the right, 95 00:04:02.485 --> 00:04:05.530 and there's that little corner piece right there? 96 00:04:05.530 --> 00:04:07.518 That shows that that's the end of this clip. 97 00:04:07.518 --> 00:04:10.102 There's no more, I can't extend it any further. 98 00:04:10.102 --> 00:04:12.902 Same with this on on the right. 99 00:04:12.902 --> 00:04:17.146 On the left side of the clip, there's no more before this. 100 00:04:17.146 --> 00:04:19.146 If I put these together, 101 00:04:20.448 --> 00:04:23.905 and then I add, let's just say, this flip over, 102 00:04:23.905 --> 00:04:25.467 what's going to happen is, 103 00:04:25.467 --> 00:04:26.993 Insufficient media. 104 00:04:26.993 --> 00:04:29.924 This transition will contain repeated frames. 105 00:04:29.924 --> 00:04:32.174 It's going to repeat frames 106 00:04:36.821 --> 00:04:40.490 because there are no frames afterwards 107 00:04:40.490 --> 00:04:42.657 to extend this transition. 108 00:04:43.821 --> 00:04:45.324 It might make a little bit more sense 109 00:04:45.324 --> 00:04:47.629 if one of these is shorter, 110 00:04:47.629 --> 00:04:49.983 and then this one is 111 00:04:49.983 --> 00:04:52.251 at the beginning of this clip. 112 00:04:52.251 --> 00:04:53.662 So this clip on the left, 113 00:04:53.662 --> 00:04:56.953 we still have footage on the right side, 114 00:04:56.953 --> 00:04:58.752 so after this point. 115 00:04:58.752 --> 00:05:00.085 But with this one on the left, 116 00:05:00.085 --> 00:05:01.686 there's no more before it. 117 00:05:01.686 --> 00:05:04.613 Let's just take our normal dissolve, cross dissolve. 118 00:05:04.613 --> 00:05:06.500 This is your standard dissolve. 119 00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:09.287 If I take this and drag it over my clips, 120 00:05:09.287 --> 00:05:12.476 what happens is, it doesn't allow me 121 00:05:12.476 --> 00:05:17.282 to put this transition in the middle of the clips because 122 00:05:17.282 --> 00:05:18.865 there is no middle, 123 00:05:19.766 --> 00:05:23.933 there is no footage to the left of this second clip. 124 00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:27.724 So when I add this, it automatically adds it 125 00:05:27.724 --> 00:05:32.524 just to this clip into the start of the next clip. 126 00:05:32.524 --> 00:05:35.311 I know that sounds really confusing, 127 00:05:35.311 --> 00:05:38.561 so it's just one thing you have to play around with, 128 00:05:38.561 --> 00:05:41.014 but I often get the question, 129 00:05:41.014 --> 00:05:44.276 why can't I add a transition to this clip? 130 00:05:44.276 --> 00:05:47.494 Why can't I move or extend my transition? 131 00:05:47.494 --> 00:05:48.631 That's another thing. 132 00:05:48.631 --> 00:05:50.237 So say we have these two clips, 133 00:05:50.237 --> 00:05:52.757 they meet right there. 134 00:05:52.757 --> 00:05:54.118 Let me extend this one, 135 00:05:54.118 --> 00:05:57.425 not to the end but just a few frames in, 136 00:05:57.425 --> 00:06:00.288 and then we add the cross dissolve. 137 00:06:00.288 --> 00:06:03.377 Then I try to make the cross dissolve bigger. 138 00:06:03.377 --> 00:06:07.000 It's not going to let me go bigger, or longer, 139 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.092 because there are no frames in both these clips 140 00:06:11.092 --> 00:06:13.912 to the right or to the left of the cross dissolve. 141 00:06:13.912 --> 00:06:15.935 Let me delete this, 142 00:06:15.935 --> 00:06:18.318 I'm going to drag this over to the left, 143 00:06:18.318 --> 00:06:20.017 drag this over to the right, 144 00:06:20.017 --> 00:06:23.149 bring them back together to meet. 145 00:06:23.149 --> 00:06:25.347 Now let's add a cross dissolve, 146 00:06:25.347 --> 00:06:27.462 now let's extend it, 147 00:06:27.462 --> 00:06:29.801 and see how long we can extend it? 148 00:06:29.801 --> 00:06:32.765 That's because it's dissolving. 149 00:06:32.765 --> 00:06:34.157 Think of right here. 150 00:06:34.157 --> 00:06:37.908 This is where this second clip actually starts, 151 00:06:37.908 --> 00:06:39.581 right here. 152 00:06:39.581 --> 00:06:42.423 It's starts to dissolve on. 153 00:06:42.423 --> 00:06:44.792 And then here, over here, 154 00:06:44.792 --> 00:06:48.687 this is where this first clip ends, over here. 155 00:06:48.687 --> 00:06:50.354 It's dissolving out. 156 00:06:52.179 --> 00:06:54.101 But if they meet at the end, 157 00:06:54.101 --> 00:06:57.766 and there's no amount of time left in the clip, 158 00:06:57.766 --> 00:07:00.488 you can't add that kind of transition, 159 00:07:00.488 --> 00:07:02.626 or increase the time of it. 160 00:07:02.626 --> 00:07:05.024 The last thing I want to teach you about transitions 161 00:07:05.024 --> 00:07:09.380 is that some transitions have effects that you can change. 162 00:07:09.380 --> 00:07:12.987 So let's go over and check out this slide transition. 163 00:07:12.987 --> 00:07:15.098 This is one that you might use, Push. 164 00:07:15.098 --> 00:07:17.397 So if I add Push to this, 165 00:07:17.397 --> 00:07:21.784 you can see that it's pushing the second clip 166 00:07:21.784 --> 00:07:24.647 from the left hand side of the frame. 167 00:07:24.647 --> 00:07:27.083 If we click on this Push transition, 168 00:07:27.083 --> 00:07:29.342 go to our Effects Controls window, 169 00:07:29.342 --> 00:07:32.453 which is up here on the left, we learned about that before, 170 00:07:32.453 --> 00:07:35.612 we have some options for our transitions. 171 00:07:35.612 --> 00:07:37.391 In this top left corner you have 172 00:07:37.391 --> 00:07:39.421 where the transition starts, 173 00:07:39.421 --> 00:07:42.380 from the west to the east, or the left to the right, 174 00:07:42.380 --> 00:07:44.979 from the right to the left, from the top to the bottom, 175 00:07:44.979 --> 00:07:46.276 from the bottom to the top. 176 00:07:46.276 --> 00:07:48.300 So if I click that bottom to the top, 177 00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:50.461 you see that this transition moves 178 00:07:50.461 --> 00:07:51.837 from the bottom to the top. 179 00:07:52.698 --> 00:07:53.730 How about that? 180 00:07:53.730 --> 00:07:57.599 That's how you add transitions to your video clips. 181 00:07:57.599 --> 00:07:59.506 It's time to practise that. 182 00:07:59.506 --> 00:08:01.775 Go ahead, pause the lessons, 183 00:08:01.775 --> 00:08:04.669 go to your own project that you're working on, 184 00:08:04.669 --> 00:08:07.919 and add a transition between two clips. 185 00:08:09.364 --> 00:08:10.645 We're going to come back, 186 00:08:10.645 --> 00:08:12.338 I'm going to review adding 187 00:08:12.338 --> 00:08:14.670 cross dissolves between two clips, 188 00:08:14.670 --> 00:08:16.924 and show you an even faster way to do so 189 00:08:16.924 --> 00:08:19.652 with keyboard shortcuts. 190 00:08:19.652 --> 00:08:22.446 Enjoy the practise, and we'll see you in a few.
