4 SEAMLESS Video Transitions You SHOULD KNOW!! Davinci Resolve Tutorial

all right we all love those super smooth seamless transitions that people like daniel schiffer and ben tk create i mean they look awesome the thing is though to create a great seamless transition you need to know what to look for so that's why in this video i'm gonna teach you four awesome seamless transitions that will make your videos look way better and at the same time give you the tools necessary to create the more advanced seamless transitions like ben tk and daniel schiffer so all of that stuff and more coming up but first if you're new here my name is billy ripka and i make weekly dimension resolve tutorials about different effects transitions and workflows that'll help you become a better editor so if you want to level up your editing skills click that subscribe button and the bell notification to stay up to date on the newest videos put out but let's get into it so the first transition that we're gonna go over is the whip pan transition now this is one of the most widely known transitions out there and it's pretty simple to edit if the footage is shot right to make a good seamless whip pen transition we need a shot where the camera is moving to the right or left and then right at the end it just whips really hard and creates a lot of motion blur and for the second shot instead of getting our subject and then whipping at the end again what we'll do is at the beginning we'll whip into our subject and once again we want to be conscious of colors because it's gonna help us create a more seamless transition so if you're whipping the first shot into the grass you should also have our second shot coming from the grass so that it's going to look like just one continuous shot so now if you shot your seamless whip pan transition correct it only really should need a few cuts so on our first clip we'll want to move forward until we find the place that has the most motion blur like this and we'll make a cut and remove everything else to the right of it now on our second clip in the beginning we'll find the place where we're also having the most motion blur like this and make a cut and remove everything to the left of it now just put both the clips together so now if we take a look at it you can see that first of all it looks super seamless and that's because the motion blur is actually hiding the cut along with matching the colors that are in the motion blur now if one part of the whip is so much faster or so much slower you can actually use speed ramping to go ahead and fix that and match the speeds correctly so what we're going to do is right click on our first clip and go down to retime controls and we'll find a place where it starts to whip the camera then click this drop down arrow right here and hit add speed point and grab the top blue tab right here and drag it up to about 200 percent like this now we'll right click again and go down to retime curve and we'll hit this drop down arrow right here on the top left and uncheck retime frame and check retime speed now we can see our speed change from one to two hundred percent and that is not smooth so we got to make that super smooth we'll want to click on the keyframe and hit the curve button right here and with these handles we'll want to drag it out like this so that we're creating a speed ramp right here then we'll go ahead and do the same exact thing but to the other clip now the second seamless transition is also like the poster child for all seamless transitions it's called the frame blocking or the masking transition to shoot the frame blocking transition we just need something to move past the frame so whether it's a tree or a sign or a person or whatever we just need something to move past the frame now for both of your shots you need to have the movement going in one direction so if your first shot is moving to the right your second shot also needs to be moving to the right now that brings me to the editing part of this transition so in davinci resolve on our timeline we have our two clips this first clip is the one that we want to transition from and also it's a clip that has the post wiping in front of it like this and the second clip is the one that we want to transition to so what we'll do is find the last frame where this post is covering the right side and then move it above to video layer 2 and then grab our second clip and move it under just like this so now you can see that there's this overlapping section right here now what we'll do is click on this first clip right here and go into the color tab now that we're in the color tab we need to go ahead and mask out everything that comes after this pole right here so what we'll do is go down to the windows tab right here and click on the pen tool now i'm going to move forward one frame by hitting right on my keyboard and we'll go ahead and draw a mask right at the edge of this post and make sure that it's a pretty wide mask so like make sure it goes way out here so now that we have our mask in place you'll see that nothing happens at all and that's because we don't have our alpha output enabled so to do that we'll go to the node section right here and right click go down to add alpha output so now this alpha output is going to pop up right here and we'll just click and drag it to the blue section right here now clearly the mask is masking out the wrong section so what we'll do is go down in the window tab right here and we'll click this button and it's just going to invert it like this so now that we have that all set i'm gonna go over here to this little drop down menu and turn off our power windows so that i can see the edge of our mask and it's honestly pretty rough so to blend that better i'm gonna go down to the softness in our window tab and just drag it up ever so slightly somewhere around like 1.5 seems to be a really good natural look so now once your heart is content with how that looks we'll actually go ahead and turn back on our power window because we need to actually go ahead and animate this mask forward now to animate stuff we need to use keyframes so we have to open up our keyframe section which is right here then we'll enable our keyframes by clicking this diamond button under corrector 1 because this is the node that we're doing all of our work in so if you're doing this effecting corrector 2 enable the keyframes under corrector 2 and so on and so forth however just enabling keyframes is not enough we actually have to slightly move our mask and we can just move it right back to the original place but by doing that it's going to place our first keyframe right here now just move back one keyframe and pull this mask all the way off this will just make sure that our mask doesn't show up until we actually want it to now move forward four frames and drag our mask forward like this and then move forward four more frames and drag the mask forward again and every single time just go ahead and resize it make sure that it's adjusting the way it should until it's all the way off the screen like this now once you've finished masking you want to make sure that it actually looks good so to do that we'll actually start moving backwards frame by frame to make sure that this mask is following the edge of that post now to make sure that it's actually correct we'll disable the alpha output just briefly and move backwards frame by frame and adjusting it to the edge so that it looks good and once it's to your liking go ahead and enable your alpha output again and there you go [Music] the third seamless transition that you're going to learn is called the frame fill and the idea is kind of similar to the frame blocking or the mask transition but instead of using a mask like we did earlier the idea is to transition from one clip to another by filling the frame with a color whether it's covering your lens with your hand and pulling it off at a new location the possibilities are endless with this type of transition as long as you can match the color of an object in the frame so that we can make it seamless so to edit the frame fill transition we're gonna go to our first clip and find the place where the frame is being completely filled just like this and we'll make a cut right here and remove everything to the right of it then on our second clip we'll find the place where our frame is being completely filled but it's just about to back up and reveal the rest of our shot so we'll make a cut here and remove everything to the left and then place both clips together like so now if you don't like how slow the transition is you can go ahead and retime it and make it faster but i'm personally okay with this [Music] now the fourth seamless transition is called the match move so the match move is pretty straightforward if our first shot is moving to the right the next shot we will want to be moving towards the right also the reason why is because the motion itself is going to be the transition especially if we can match that speed because it's going to seem like one thing is just flowing right into the other now to actually edit the match move transition it's super simple because honestly the movement is the transition as long as you guys have footage that's moving in the same direction but let's just say that i don't so right here i have a clip that's moving forward and the next clip is moving away what i can do is either reverse the first clip right here so that it's moving backwards or reverse the second clip so that it's moving forwards and i'll do that by clicking on the clip and hitting r and then checking reverse speed and then hit change now you can see that both clips are moving in the same direction so all i'll do is find where there's a lot of movement speed in the second clip and cut it down to that and i'll also do that in the first clip and now just put both of them together so that the movement helps us flow into the next shot and once you get the basics of the match move transition you can also add in a person and their movement over multiple clips like this this is considered a match move transition because both the camera and my wife are moving in the same direction now i realize that these are pretty beginner level seamless transitions and the reason why i'm even telling you guys these is because if you can master these building blocks you can then create some insane looking seamless transitions by using these methods right here now after learning these four seamless transitions if you're looking for a quick and easy drag and drop transition i got you i just created this awesome drag and drop shape transition pack for davinci resolve so click the link in the description today to get those transitions and make your
