The Fade Transition is probably the most commonly known and widely used video transition of all time …and because its simplicity, it has stood the test of time.
In its basic form, the fade video transition is an overlap of two shots for the duration of the effect, usually at the end of one scene and the beginning of the next.
However, in this pack you get to choose several different variations of the fade transitions, giving you enough freedom to be creative.
The fade effect is a great choice to use for montages, aa technique in film editing in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information.
So in this example, we will use the fade transition to create a montage of characters who feature in an upcoming documentary film we’re promoting. The fade transition makes it super easy to introduce all the characters in one sequence.
In conclusion, fade transitions for Premiere Pro and fade transitions for After Effects are great to use when you want to condense space, time, and information into one short but impactful sequence and keep your audience captivated. This is just one idea…there are lots of other possibilities to use the fade video transition and the best way is to give it a go. So, go ahead, try out the fade transition in your next video project. It’ll look cool.
