Kyler Holland: Epic Sky Transition in Premiere Pro

Apr 13, 2017

This effect is a very complex effect that will not work with every clip but when it does, It's beautiful. It reminds me of something you would see in inception. Good luck and if you have any questions, let me know! —Kyler Holland

Kyler Holland has a new Premiere Pro tutorial that will turn your world upside down. Literally. To do this epic sky transition, you obviously need the... sky. Specifically, you need a shot with the sky unobscured by any objects. A clear blue sky or a completely overcast sky will work better than a partly cloudy sky.

To get started with this transition, place your incoming clip - the one you're transitioning to - above the first clip and rotate it 180° degrees so it's upside down. See how Kyler does it at 0:42.

Next, animate the position of the incoming clip so that it starts completely out of frame and slides down as Kyler shows at 0:59. NOTE: Kyler's first clip is tilting up to the sky so that it completely fills the frame by the time the incoming second clips fully animates in. This is a good shooting strategy for this transition. Otherwise, he would have to animate the first clip down in order to match the sky to second clip as it slides down.

You may need to finesse the animation of your clips by changing the interpolation of your keyframes. To do this, right-click a keyframe and choose what type of interpolation you want. (Kyler changes the temporal interpolation of his keyframes to Ease In and Ease Out.)

The final step for this sky transition is masking and feathering the hard edge (the top of the second clip) so that the sky seamlessly blends between the two clips. Kyler creates his mask at 1:46 using an Opacity mask. Alternatively you could try using the Crop or Linear Wipe effects, which both have feather settings as well.

Continue watching the tutorial at 3:23 to see Kyler repeat the process with some variations to transition to a third clip.

YCImaging: 5 Flash Transition Effects in Adobe Premiere Pro

Apr 12, 2017

5 easy flash transition effects you can do in Premiere Pro without plugins! —YCImaging

YCImaging back again with 5 flash transitions to enhance your music videos. Of course, you can add these flashes to anything you want, but you'll quickly see how they can make the edits in your music video really pop.

First, there's the "double flash" at 0:37. This transition uses Additive Dissolves on two edit points that are a few frames apart.

Next, at 2:15, is the "flash build". YCImaging keyframes the Brightness & Contrast effect to ramp into a flash at the end of a clip. He adjusts the keyframe interpolation using the Velocity Graph in the Effect Controls panel. He does the same on the incoming clip and reverses the keyframes to come out of the flash. Alternatively, you could apply this effect to an adjustment layer that spans the two clips.

The third transition at 6:18 combines the first two (double flash and flash build). Only instead of using Additive Dissolves on edit points, YCImaging animates the Brightness & Contrast to do a double flash before hard cutting to the next clip.

The fourth transition at 9:10 is "like a ghost and zoom". The first step is duplicating both the outgoing and incoming clips. Next, switch the blend mode on the outgoing clip to Color Dodge. (Experiment with different blend modes!) Then YCImaging uses the Transform effect to animate the Opacity and Scale of the duplicated outgoing clip. The Transform effect is perfect for this because you can motion blur to the animation by customizing the Shutter Angle. YCImaging does the same on the duplicated incoming clip but in reverse so it comes out of the flash/ghost/zoom.

The fifth and last flash transition at 15:28 looks like "the light is coming off the actual frame". First, create a Black Video that matches your sequence and lay it over the edit point between your clips. Apply the Lighting Effects effect to the black video. With the playhead on the edit point, YCImaging animates the Minor Radius to create a 10-frame flash. Change the Blend Mode of the Black Video to Screen to reveal the video underneath.
