Instructor: Okay guys, now we're going to practice 2 2
with the transitions and the fade in's and the fade out's. 3 3
And those are available 4 4
here in my software editor, 5 5
but there may be a different symbol in your software editor. 6 6
But everyone's going to have one. 7 7
So, yeah. 8 8
These are transitions. 9 9
And I like to keep my transitions really simple because... 10 10
Okay, let's take this for example. 11 11
I'm going to choose 3D rectangle 12 12
and I'm going to pop it in between these two clips. 13 13
And then look what it looks like. 14 14
Okay, that's a little bit too overboard for me. 15 15
It's a little too distracting, 16 16
I feel like I'm watching a home movie that grandpa made. 17 17
(laughs) 18 18
So it might work for your project, 19 19
but it definitely does not work for my project. 20 20
I want something simple. 21 21
Dissolves are really simple. 22 22
So let me fade to color. 23 23
This is a fade out for me, basically. 24 24
I'm going to put that at the end of my clip 25 25
and it's going to fade to black. 26 26
I'm going to erase that. 27 27
I'm going to make this clip a little longer. 28 28
Oh, she broke. 29 29
(laughs) 30 30
She didn't stay in character. 31 31
She looked at the... yeah. 32 32
That's all right. 33 33
If I pull fade to color over here 34 34
and I pull this out, I can make that fade last longer. 35 35
Oh, perfect. 36 36
Oh, that's nice. 37 37
Okay. 38 38
So I like simple stuff like that, 39 39
and then from black I would fade into my next scene 40 40
if I wanted to. 41 41
I could fade in. 42 42
Cross dissolve, pull that to the front so its black. 43 43
And it kind of fades in to my scene. 44 44
But with cross dissolve, if you put it in between 45 45
in between two clips, then one clip 46 46
will fade into the other. 47 47
There will be no black. 48 48
Okay, see that? 49 49
It's fading in. 50 50
That's going to be different than fade to color. 51 51
Fade to color will have 52 52
a little bit of black in the middle. 53 53
Okay, see that? 54 54
But in this project, 55 55
I don't really need any transitions. 56 56
But if you do, then that's where they are. 57 57
And you've got a whole bunch of them to choose from. 58 58
Some of them are pretty fancy. 59 59
It all depends on what you need, though. 60 60
Don't overuse these things. 61 61
For me, I'm just going to take a little cross dissolve. 62 62
And that's how you do transitions and fade in, fade out's.
