Guide: 5 Must-Try Video Editing Transitions to Level Up Your Content Game (Part 1) Introduction: Transitions are powerful tools to enhance the flow of your videos. They help maintain your audience’s attention and add a professional touch to your edits. Here’s a detailed, simple breakdown of the five transitions and how to use them effectively. 1️⃣ 3-Stacked (Split Screen) Transition • What it is: The screen is divided into three sections, each playing a different clip simultaneously. • Why it works: The visual variety keeps viewers engaged and adds creativity to your content. • How to use it: 1. Choose three clips with contrasting colors, actions, or themes. 2. Use editing software to crop or mask each clip into one of the three sections. 3. Align the timing of all three clips for a cohesive look. • Pro Tip: Ensure each section is visually distinct. For example, combine a fast-action clip, a slow-motion scene, and a still frame for variety. 2️⃣ Fade In/Out • What it is: A gradual transition to or from black at the beginning or end of a video. • Why it works: It adds polish and sets the mood, whether dramatic, emotional, or suspenseful. • How to use it: 1. Apply a fade-to-black effect to the start or end of your clip in your editing software. 2. Adjust the fade duration to match the pacing of your video (e.g., slower fades for emotional content, quicker fades for fast-paced edits). • Where to use: • Intros: To create anticipation. • Outros: For a clean, professional finish. • Emotional moments: To amplify the mood. 3️⃣ Cross Dissolve • What it is: Smoothly fades one clip out while fading another in, blending them together. • Why it works: This transition helps create a seamless connection between scenes, making it perfect for storytelling. • How to use it: 1. Place two clips side by side on your timeline. 2. Apply the cross-dissolve effect at the point where they meet. 3. Adjust the overlap for a slower or faster blend. • Pro Tip: Use this for transitions between similar shots, like moving from a close-up to a wide-angle view.

the clone effect So here's how you can create this multiple clone effect inside Premiere Pro 1️⃣For this effect, you only need to film one shot using your tripod and your phone or camera . a) For professional camera; I prefer using a wide angle lens like 14mm or lower to give you that wide perspective and to also help show movement later. For my shot, I used a laowa 10mm Zero-D autofocus lens. b) For iPhone/ android ; Open your camera app and switch to 0.5 instead of 1. On your iPhone/android 0.5 is equivalent to 13mm lens, so this is very great and affordable by anyone. 2️⃣So go ahead, set up the tripod in an open area and use a wide-angle lens or switch to .5 on your iPhone . 3️⃣Next , record and move in a zig-zag motion towards your camera to make sure this effect pops out better . ( you don't have to, you can also use objects to do this) 4️⃣After filming, bring your clips inside Premiere Pro, trim off the excess footage and after you have a clean plate we can use for this effect, start from the beginning and count 15-20 frames, then add a mark by pressing command "M" on your keyboard, while still there, grab a still and export it. Do that as many times as you can, then import those stills inside Photoshop, select your subject then comand+shift + I to invert then hit delete and you should have a clean masked out frame. Head over to file, export then export as png. 5️⃣Bring all those stills back inside Premiere Pro, line them up using the marked points, and when you play them back you should have a clean clone effect but you might notice the frames look fake. So this means, you gonna need to mask your original clip then import it again( you can do this by using magic mask inside DaVinci resolve or rotoscop in after effects) then after masking oh, you just need to re- import it and put it on top of the frames and the original clip . 6️⃣If you want to spice it up a little bit, you can add speed ramp and directional blur Feel free to lmk if you have any questions when trying this out!
