Hi folks.
I'm wondering if there is a way (or transition) that makes a video presentation look less choppy. I am putting together a sales pitch and I have not done anything other then use the particular clips where the client tells me to. There has been alot of cutting and pasting - LOL. I thought maybe a disolve transition between clips set to 02 but it still isn't giving me the effect I am looking for.
Any thoughts???? I want it to appear more seemless then it is..
Thanks!
Theresa

Hi Theresa, If the clips change to the beat of a song it helps to make it look less choppy. The Cross Dissolve usually works pretty well depending on the content, might want to try 3 seconds and also try moving the transition position between the two clips to see if that makes any difference. Without seeing what you are working on it is kind of hard to visualize what might help

Dip to Black is one of my favorites. It softens the cut. The default is 15 frames and this could be shortened down to 10 frames for a fast cut.

I only ever use cross dissolve and dip to black.

Like John I tend just to use cross dissolve and dip to black transistions unless I am doing something I want to be over the top or "flashy". Transistions other than dross dissolve and dip to black can distract from the main video and in my opinion shouldn't be used for videos where you dont want to distract the viewer from the content.

I don't know if this would help or maybe you already use these, but when learned how to use J- and L-cuts it made my transitions better. Here is a post that explains them in Premiere Elements, http://forums.adobe.com/thread/524810 I use this in conjunction with the crossfades and dips transitions already mentioned above. Also like Chuck said, cutting to the music really helps a lot.

Thanks Karri, that gave me an idea I don't think we have a tutorial on L or J cuts, I will have to do one I have attached 3 pages below from the book that Steve and I wrote a few years ago, "Premiere Elements 2 In A Snap". The pages explain how to do a J and L cut, hope this helps someone until we can get the tutorials done

yay Chuck, I contributed! I learn so much here I feel a little guilty sometimes because I'm not smart enough to give back as much. I know everyone will appreciate your J and L cut tutorial
