Learning Video Production~New Vid Drop~

Nice, I liked it. Just the right duration, not to many pics flying around the screen. One more tip, try cutting within a sequence and dissolving to the next sequence.

Examples?

I use cross dissolves between images within a given section, as designated by the fancier transitions. The exception was in the Wickenburg video, where I used the "film" transitions to highlight the in-ride photos taken of the club members. I hadn't started making videos yet, and that was the first time I rode ahead to get in-ride shots. It was my gift to the crew to show the club's appreciation for sticking with us.

I gotta say, it was lovely to speed ahead and bomb those curves without anyone dictating the pace!

In the old cinema rules a dissolve suggested lapse of time or transition to another location.

So, where I'm using transitions, you're suggesting I use dissolves. Hmmm... I'll look into it.

Just following up on what Stubbie said. But I'm not saying to change from transition to dissolve.. those were the old rules, anything goes now what matters is if you like what the effect does.

So what I mean, ie when you were in the tunnel , cut between shots. Then when you went back to riding dissolve to the riding, cut between riding shots. Dissolve to shots eating lunch at garage. Cut between shots in garage, dissolve to next shots riding etc. Hope that makes sense.

HA! Silly me, I'm working on this video and haven't posted it yet. I must be getting old.
