 I recently had a viewer watch one of my older videos where I did that effect that I just did pushing the last scene out of the way and they asked for a tutorial on how to do it. It's actually really simple and it's actually something that's been around for a real long time. Here's an example. So that was one example but actually in that film they actually did it a number of times. So here's actually another example of that same effect from the same film. As you can see you can go either way. You can even go up and down if you want, like this. So in today's tutorial I'm going to show you a few different techniques to create that simple effect. We'll be looking at Kaden Live so get ready. Here we go. We're actually going to be editing the video you're watching right now. So what you've already seen is about to happen. Yes. So, anyway, here we go. Okay, here we are inside Kaden Live. I've already imported my little video clips as well as the Laurel and Hardy clips and cropped those down to the parts of the film that I showed and we're going to create the stuff you just saw because I haven't created it yet. What you saw is what we're going to create right now. So first things first I have my little intro here for films by Chris and only a little of that play through and it shatters apart again but this time I'm going to want to pause it here to give it something for me to push. So with that selected and my line right there, I'm going to come up here to our effects list and I'm going to type in, I think it's freeze, yep, freeze, and I will double click that and it says we want to freeze it after this point so it will play and then freeze when we get to those words there and what I'm going to do is I'm going to now look at this clip of me, the first one of me pushing across. Now in this particular case as far as pushing it, we're just going to use a simple transition effect which is what you can use majority of the time, the important thing is if you're going to use this type of transition for this, you're going to want to have a steady push. You want to be going across the screen constantly at the same pace. You don't want to slow down or stop at any point. So let me find the point of the screen. I'm going to use my left arrow to go frame by frame to where my hand just comes in right there and I'm going to trim my video down to there. Now I'm going to find where my hand goes off. So right about there would probably good. So this is our transition. I'm going to hit control and scroll the center mouse to zoom in. So right there is where I want this clip to end. So I'm going to grab it there and right there. So let's check it. I want this clip here to end right where my hands go off the screen. So that's pretty much pretty close. Let's move this back a few shots, a few frames. And that should work. So now what we're going to do now that we have those lined up and I'm walking across the screen as constant pace, I'm going to click the corner there to add a dissolve transition and I'm going to change that transition to a different type of transition of wipe. So we have the wipe here and it's still dissolving. So what we need to do is we need to choose what type of wipe we want. We're going to want basic linear on the X. So now we do that. It's going the wrong way though. So we're going to choose our wipe here again and we're going to choose reverse. Now if we watch it, now there's a little bit where my hands, it looks like my front hand is pushing it, which is fine because I'm not directly lined up in front of the camera. The thing is this is such a short time, a short clip that you're almost not going to notice it. If I wanted to I could adjust the video a little bit, but you know for what we're doing right now that works good enough. So here we go. I'm talking. So I'm going to grab there. That's going to be where this next one's going to start. So let's come over here to our Laurel and Hardy clip and align that up there. So now what I'm going to do is I've got the one track over the other. I'm going to click this little film strip here and that will make that top track invisible and I'm going to go to, oh you know what I went off the screen there a little bit. Move that to right here and we want to go to right where my hand goes off. So right there I'm going to drag this clip like so. Again, same thing. Click the corner to add a dissolve. I'm going to change that to a wipe effect and I'm going to change the file image to be in this case a linear X and if we watch it now, oh got to re-enable that track. So went a little fast. Did I not line that up right when I went off the screen? Yeah, let's go to, let's stretch this out. It's because of where my hand goes off the screen. I want it right there as my hand disappears. That should be a little bit better. Again, re-enable that track so you can see it. It's still moving faster than me. Now there is a way to tweak this and the problem here is probably because I didn't keep a steady pace but we could also try moving this a little bit more. See, that gets us off. So the transition is great when you move at a constant pace but the problem here is I started off at one speed and I either sped up or slowed down while I was walking. So we have another option here though other than using the wipe. Again, the wipe works great when you move at a constant pace. It doesn't always happen that way. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to remove that transition and I'm going to select our top video here and in our effects list I'm going to type in pan and you can see we have this pan and zoom so I'm going to double click that to add that to here and what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go to the first frame of this by clicking here. So click the track we just added the pan zoom effect to click this to go to the first key frame which already has a key frame there and what I'm going to do is I'm going to drag that off the screen. Now we also want to add in a composite layer here so I'm going to click the transition effect back here and you can see it says dissolve we're going to change that to composite right there so we can see what's going on. So I have that there again clicking our Laurel and Hardy clip the top clip here and I'm going to go to the end here and you can see that it's moved in the timeline here so I'm going to go to right where my hand goes off right there and I'm going to add another key frame and what I'm going to do is I'm going to click center this way center that way so now we have this animation but we have control we can set more key frames to line it up a little bit better so I'm going to go here again again with this layer selected I'm going to add another key frame I'm going to move it back so it's right on my hand there anytime you move it left or right we want the vertical to stay the same so we can always click this center here to center it vertically and so now we can see it staying right on my hand and if it ever gets off again which it does right about there kind of want to go to the middle where it's off you know limit the number of key frames you have to create add a key frame drag it so it's on my hand again align it vertically which it seems to be and now let's watch perfect so we can go through our clip here and so they did their effect again I I can speculate on how they did that with film without computers but I don't know for sure I'm going to grab the next clip of myself drop that down here and find where once again come on to the screen I'm going to try to do the basic transition one like we did in the first case because that was the easiest to do if I keep a constant pace so again I'm going to hide that top layer we want the going off the screen right about there and we'll try the transition again so I'm going to add a transition click on where it says dissolve go down to wipe whoops so you can see again the other way works and you have more control over it but if you don't need that control this way could be a little bit faster again I think I'm going to have to reverse it let's re-enable this layer here re-enable this layer here yep so click the white reverse it and let's watch it gets a little off there so unfortunately I can't use the white there as well but we'll keep that white and change it to a composite again choosing our top layer now we already have the pan zoom because we did it at the beginning of this so we're going to want to do is go to the beginning of this clip here and set another key frame so go back right to there add a key frame so that it doesn't move while we're watching that clip we'll go to the end of this and we'll move it all the way off the screen so add a key frame drag it all the way off the screen switch just off the screen and we're going to center it vertically so essentially we just did the same as the wipe effect here but again we line up so I'm going to go somewhere in the middle here choose the compiler sorry choose that top layer add another key frame line it up with my hand center it vertically let's see so we're going to want to add another key frame in the middle there and the second half looks good so let's go halfway in between our two key frames here add a key frame line it up center it horizontally or vertically so again right here the hand is a little bit off it's probably better to have the hand overlapping image rather than space between it but again this is going to be such a quick clip that no one's going to notice so we have that there let's go here now we have our second Laurel and Hardy clip let's find I'm going to pull the screen yeah I'm going to pull the screen here so do do do do right here is where I want this clip to start let's mute that track and I certainly don't think I kept a steady pace there did not look like it so let's end that clip there and we'll again add a pan and zoom effect to the top layer so we're going to do the same thing again so if you didn't catch it the first time you're going to see it again we're going to add the pan and zoom and we'll re-enable this clip we're also going to add our little compositor so click the corner there to add a transition of a dissolve and then change that to a composite now select our top layer here go to the first key frame and we are going to drag it all the way off just so it's just off the screen center it vertically we're going to go all the way to here back one and add a key frame and we're going to center and center that we'll put the video right smack in the center there so now let's watch see what we got oh I probably could have done the wipe it does seem to be working pretty well so could have done a wipe there I didn't think I kept a steady pace as I was walking across the screen so again he pulls the screen there he does his whole little where he lets go and it slides back so you could do that as well again Stan Laurel was a genius so here we go third clip of me and this time I go the other way so fine where I start there probably should have done a better job of not laying my hand come up like that we'll start it right there there find where I go off the screen right there so line that up if we can let's add the transition we'll try the wipe here but if not we'll go back we already have the pan and zoom effect on that top layer so we're already halfway there we'll say why linear and reverse it in this case oh you know what that's not reversing it do that invert it in this case because it was going the right way oh no it looks like we're going to be reversing it and inverting it can get a little confusing no see that's too far off see last time I could have used the wipe and I didn't this time I thought I could and I couldn't so I'm going to choose the white so here we are I'm showing you again two different ways of doing this we got the composite here let's check on check on the layer here go to where I'm using again my left arrow to line that up frame by frame right there and we're going to add a key frame we'll go to the last frame there and we'll drag it or sorry add a key frame once you go to that last frame drag it to here align it vertically and that still looks pretty good but we got that space right there which is why we didn't do it but you know it's lined up there so we're going to want to add a key frame here before we add any other key frames because that looks good we're going to go here and again I try to go straight for the middle somewhere in between our key frames that way you let the computer do most of the work of animating it so let's see push and pushing pushing pushing looked good now we're going to do the same thing with the pole from the top so right there to right there really wish I got out of the camera view there but it's not a big deal get to there and then grab the next clip of me just me marking my spot where I'm going to stand where the camera is focused to oh you know what it's I went across the screen like that was really unnecessary right clip it right here oops based on where I start talking so hopefully this is not getting too tedious for you I'm just showing you the same things again and add that dissolve effect now you could use a another wipe I can go here and I can do instead of x linear we can go y linear and that might work I started it too soon let's just go ahead and use the composite so oh I'm sorry at the pan zoom so add a transition make it composite a majority of time you're going to have to use the composite just because you don't move as smoothly as a computer does you know as calculated um but let's see right here you know I am I am going to try to use the wipe I know I keep changing my mind that's part of of doing it you know playing with it picking what works the best I'm going to try the linear wipe here re-enable that track because I move pretty fast so it gets off a little bit at the end and that's a shame because that was almost I could probably start it a little bit later which might fix our nope that's too late go back maybe right there let's see if that lines it up a little bit better again on to too too far off at the end there so again I can go change my mind for a third time go to composite I'm going to add the effect of pan zoom to this top layer here and um I might even move the video back a little bit now right there is actually pretty good so got our pan zoom got our first frame done here going to go to right here to where we line up with the second clip and add a key frame there go back to the first one drag the video up now this time we're dragging it up we're going to align it uh on the horizontal line well I kept saying vertical it depends on how you picture in it um but we're going to align it left and right where before we were lining it up and down so now I'm going to add a key frame to line up a little bit or we get off right about there so I'm going to add another key frame right there in between the two drag it down they can see I get off I'm not going to have it perfectly aligned there and that's why we do our alignment here which will center it again I'm still even a little bit off at the end so let's uh let's add another key frame and actually center it up a little early there we go so so that was a real quick one boom so I hope you found this story useful again very simple especially if you can just use the basic wipe effect um but again the wipe effect depends on you doing a very smooth constant speed when you're walking across the screen either pushing or pulling uh where you could use the pan and zoom and set a number of key frames another number of key frames depends again the smoother you are with your movement the less key frames you'll need so I hope you did enjoy the tutorial I hope you visit my website filmsbychrist.com that's chris the k and I'm going to finish adding up this video by throwing in this particular uh clip you just finished watching into what onto this timeline of what we created or what you watched at the beginning of the video so a little time travel there I guess so again thank you for watching please visit filmsbychrist.com that's chris the cake check out the link in the description hope you enjoyed this topic if you did give the video a thumbs up a like and be sure to subscribe so you don't miss other
