CUBE
One clip stretches away as the next shrinks in to take its place. This can be enhanced with a blast of light, a touch of blur, and works in multiple directions.
Getting Started in a timeline
- Dragging the transition over your edit in the timeline, drop it at the end or beginning of a clip, or in between two clips.
- Modify the Duration either by entering a length in the field, or dragging directly in the timeline.
- You can choose the Alignment (Center at Cut, Start at Cut, End at Cut, Custom Start) either by positioning the transition in the timeline, or by choosing from the Alignment drop-down in some host applications.
Getting Started in a compositor
- Apply the transition to the layer you want to transition from.
- Choose the footage layer you would like to transition to in the Transition B drop-down menu. ( Note for Motion users : drag the footage layer up to the Transition B box).
- Animate your transition using the Mix slider from 0-100%. Set a keyframe for 0% where the transition should start, then set another at 100% for the end.
Modify the Transition
- Choose a Preset: brings up an animated gallery of presets, which are applied by either double-clicking the press, or highlighting your preset and clicking select.
- Save a Preset: allows the current parameters to be saved as a custom preset.
- Animation Curve: choose from a selection of animation curves. These can vary the smoothness and fluidity of the transition over time.
- Direction: controls the direction of the transition. Choose from up, down, left and right.
- Blur: controls the amount of blur applied to each image. The outgoing image blurs into the transition, while the incoming comes into focus out of the transition. The blur timing is locked to the Dissolve Start and Dissolve End. Range from 0 no blur to 100 maximum blur.
- Stretch: controls the amount of stretch applied to each image as the transition progresses. Range from 0 no stretch to 10 maximum stretch.
- Exposure Boost: controls the brightness of the image as the transition progresses, with peak brightness at the centre of the transition.
- Dissolve Start: controls when the dissolve and blur starts as a percentage of the transition duration.
- Dissolve End: controls when the dissolve and blur ends as a percentage of the transition duration.
