Lesson 2 Adding effects and publishing in the cut page
TIP A jump cut is an abrupt switch between two clips that appear very similar
in content and framing. Jump cuts are usually avoided because they are jarring
to the audience although at times they can be used as a creative choice.
9 Move the play head near the cut we just created.
10 In the toolbar click the smooth cut button to add the transition.
Smooth cut smooths out the transition so it looks like one continuous clip by
generating new frames in between the two clips. But before you play it, It works best
when it is used for a very short duration of around three or four frames so let’s change
the duration. When making such a small, precise change, just like trimming, it is easier
to use the viewer.
11 In the upper or lower timeline, click on the smooth cut transition to select it.
The viewer now shows the trim edit controls and the smooth cut transition between the
two film strips. You can drag the transition using the viewer’s controls and frame
numbers to guide you.
12 In the viewer, drag the smooth cut transition in towards the center until it reaches the
4frame mark on the film strip.
13 Move the play head before the transition and play to see the seamless transition
created by the smooth cut.
The jump cut is invisible because it is a perfect situation for a smooth cut transition. For
the best results use smooth cut on subtle but jarring cuts between two similar clips. If
the clips are significantly different the smooth cut transition won’t be able to find
similarities in their content and framing to make it seamless.
