 How's it going everyone and welcome back to another video. I apologize for this mess. I'm going to clean it up right now, but nothing happens. I guess I have to clean it up later. So a couple of months ago I made a video on how to create in-camera transitions with your iPhone which you guys really love. It has gotten over 240,000 views which has become my second most popular video on my YouTube channel and a lot of you guys wanted to know how I edited these transitions. So today is your lucky day because I will be showing you how I did that and by the end of this video you will be able to edit your own in-camera transitions. If you haven't seen the video yet make sure to watch the video first. I will leave a link up here for you to check out. Keep in mind that there will be a timestamp below if you want to skip or go back to a particular part of the video. One of the most frequently asked questions I got on that video is what editing software do I use? Well as the title suggests I use Final Cut Pro. I use it basically for all of my edits. By the way these editing techniques that I'm about to show you can also be applied with most editing softwares out there. The principles are really the same. Unfortunately Final Cut Pro is only available for Mac users. If you don't have a Mac then I'm sorry. If you plan on getting Final Cut Pro you will have to make a one-time payment of $300 which I think is a great deal. Now if you're new to Final Cut Pro there is a 90-day free trial available if you want to test it out. Now if you're wondering if these in-camera transitions can also be edit on a smartphone I would say yes to a certain extent. So if you do your in-camera transitions right you will have to do little to no editing in post-production but of course it depends on the transition you create. The editing app I would recommend is Luma Fusion if you're using an iOS device or in-shot which works for both iOS and Android but I find Luma Fusion has more advanced features and is my personal favorite. So let's now head over to Final Cut Pro so that I can show you how I've edited these clips together to make the transition look seamless. So I've already imported the clips and have created a project. The first transition we're going to look at is the sky transition. So I got both of my shots in the timeline and the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to shorten the clip to just have the best portion. So I'm going to look at the first clip so as George starts walking I'm going to cut it right here and then it's going to move upwards and as I start with the camera I'm going to cut this section out and in the second shot as the camera moves downwards I'm going to cut out this portion. I'm going to play back the clip now now we can add a speed ramp to both clips to make it even look more seamless. So to do that I'm actually going to first slow down both clips because I filmed them in 4k 60 frames per second and to do that I'm going to select both of the clips head over to this symbol right here and then I'm going to select automatic speed and that will automatically slow down your footage while rotating the frame rate so that it doesn't look choppy. I'm now going to hit the shift B to create a speed ramp and I'm actually going to start the speed ramp right as it goes up. So I'm going to hit the shift B right here and on the second shot I'm going to hit the shift B over here so I want the speed ramp to stop here. So I'm going to move the cursor right here hit shift B and in in the first clip I'm going to speed it up four times and in the second shot as well. So what this does is in the first shot the speed will start from slow motion to fast motion and then in the second shot from fast motion to slow motion. So I'm going to look at that right now. So that doesn't look too bad at all and I can actually even increase the speed a little bit by dragging over here and with this shot as well I'm going to drag it to the left to increase the speed even more. Find that this is really fast so I'm going to slow this down a little bit more to match it with the first shot and the second shot I'm going to increase the speed and what this does is it smoothens out the speed ramp a bit. So as I pull it away creates a smoother speed ramp. What we're now going to do is create a fade transition between the two clips and to do that I'm going to select one clip hit the command T button and as you can see it already created a fade transition in between the two clips. I usually keep it very short the fade duration so that it's not too obvious but as I play it back now this actually looks really good. So yeah that is how you edit a sky transition. I will tell you right now that these two methods the speed ramp and the fade transition are simple ways that will help create a seamless transition between two shots. So the next transition we're going to look at is the match cut. So I dragged both of the shots into the timeline and just selected the best portion and to create a match cut I'm going to drag the second clip on top of the first one like so and I'm going to zoom in a bit and I'm going to lower the opacity on the second shot to around 50% and I'm going to hit the transformation tool and align it with the first shot and I should have thought of this when I filmed this video because in the second shot George is too far away but luckily I recorded the video in 4k so I can zoom all the way in without losing quality when exporting it in 1080p. So I'm going to do that right now I'm going to zoom all the way in to match it with George like that and I'm going to hit done and I'm going to put the opacity back to 100 and I'm going to drag it back to the primary timeline and when I play it back it created a nice match cut. Another great tip that makes your match cut look even better is to match it with the movement. So as George walks forward and puts his right foot onto the floor in the second shot George should be putting his right foot on the floor as well. So I'm going to hit the T button which is the trim tool and then I'm going to drag it to the left so that his right foot hits the floor and this way it looks even more seamless. See that? Boom. Pretty awesome. So there you have it you've now created a simple match cut. So next I will show you how I edit the mask out frame transition where I used a green screen. So in the first shot I have a George holding up his phone with a green screen and I'm going to first head over to the keyer and I'm going to drag the keyer over and apply it onto that clip and as you can see the screen starts to turn black so the keyer already looks pretty good. I don't have to do any additional fine tuning and what I now can do is drag the first shot on top of the second shot and what that does is it's playing the second shot in the background as you can see the second shot is played onto that phone right now as I move in sort of transitions into the second shot. I added speed ramps to both of the clips as you can see it starts slow motion and then speeds up fast as well as in the second shot it starts speeding up fast and then goes back into normal speed. Now on top of that I want to add a nice rotation to it. So what I'm going to do is hit the transformation tool and hit the keyframe button up here move it all the way to the end of the clip and then zoom in and then turn it like that. So and when playing it back it creates this awesome inception effect. Pretty cool and I notice a little bit of green over here so I can head over to the keyer and use this sample tool to get rid of that greenish tint over here and as I play it back it looks pretty nice. So next I'm going to show you how I mask out objects. So I'm first going to select the first shot where George is walking and passing by a tree and we're actually going to mask out this part right here and I'm going to drag the cursor around here and set a marker by hitting M. The next thing I'm going to do is type in draw mask and I'm going to drag this onto the first shot and now I can create these control points and as you can see as I drag these control points it's going to create a mask. So what we're now going to do is I'm going to open up the draw mask to reveal all the settings that we can change. I'm actually going to right click and select add. What I'm also going to do is increase the feather a bit and I'm now going to move frame to frame and adjust the mask. So I'm going to move forward and sort of drag this backwards and again until the whole tree is out of the frame. So there you have it I'm now going to play it back so that you guys can see how it looks like. So what I'm now going to do is actually drag the first clip on top of the second clip and I'm actually going to create a gap so that I can move this right where the mask starts. So as I play the clip back you get a nice masking transition. So yeah as you can see it isn't hard to edit these transitions if you filmed it right in the first place.
