After Effects CC: Design Professional Video Transitions

Create motion graphics as transition mats, render them into video, and apply them in After Effects or Premiere Pro to achieve professional video transitions.

Create your first transition matte in After Effects by using a rectangle with a repeater set to 10 copies, animating opacity, and applying a luma inverted transfer mode.

Create a portable video matte transition by rendering a one-second pre composition with transparency, then replace the source with the rendered video for use in After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Create and import your After Effects transitions into Premiere Pro, connect via the invert luma matte, and apply professional video transitions in a non-linear editor.

Practice this two-second transition using the repeater and zizzi vector blur techniques. Experiment with circle, ellipse, rectangle shapes, and an octagon to build textured, professional-looking effects.

Practice activity tutorial guides you through After Effects CC shape repeats and scale animations to build evolving mats, using ellipse, rectangle, and an eight-sided polygon with vector and radial blur.

Create an arrow transition in After Effects by building a shape layer path with repeater, animating copies over two seconds, and applying a luma inverted stroke to fill the screen.

Design an arrow transition using luma inverted with red and white to control reveal. Duplicate layers, apply white fill and stroke, and adjust keyframes to hit a double-arrow reveal.

Create circle transitions in After Effects CC using radial wipe mattes, animate ellipse size and keyframe timing across multiple circles for a polished reveal.

Explore the stroke effect on the circles transition in After Effects CC, using white strokes, color tweaks, and a luma inverted reveal to shape a dynamic, adjustable transition.

Design a radial wipe transition by creating a rectangle matte on two video layers, adjusting the wipe center and start angle, and revealing from the middle to the right.

Create a bidirectional radial wipe transition by duplicating rectangles, using a rectangle matte, rotating the composition 180 degrees, and applying a blend mode like multiply to achieve four-way opening effect.

Create a linear wipe in After Effects CC with a white rectangle on a two-second composition, keyframe, polish with the graph editor and an adjustment layer using blur.

Learn to create a smooth, two-part linear transition in After Effects by pre composing, duplicating, rotating, and blending with multiply and blur to form lines, lights, and fireworks.

Discover a dynamic matte transition in After Effects by duplicating circles, stacking radial shadows on an adjustment layer, and refining with vector blur for a polished reveal.

Create a simple matte transition in After Effects with a white rectangle. Animate rotation from the anchor corner, then duplicate layers and animate opacity and scale.

Learn to create horizontal and vertical transitions using a simple tiling matte, with squares opening from a grid, by animating the rectangle's horizontal and vertical scale in After Effects CC.

Create the matte 5 transition in After Effects using a 135-degree linear wipe, two layers and color changes, then reveal with a white shape scaled from 0 to 100.

Create a professional matte transition in After Effects by drawing a centered circle, animating stroke width and size with keyframes, layered reveals, and optional blur for a polished reveal.

Learn to build a radial wipe transition in After Effects, adjusting start angle and wipe center, then duplicate and sequence layers to create a bilateral matte with color fills.

Create a dynamic After Effects transition using the transform effect, with rectangle-based animation, color changes, staggered duplicates, and an adjustment layer to apply effects to all layers.

Create matte transitions with circle wipes in After Effects by building concentric circles and duplicating layers. Keyframe scale and color tweaks to achieve a smooth, customizable reveal.

Duplicate a circle wipe, remove fills, boost the stroke, and animate an inside ellipse with a white stroke to create a new, speedier wipe transition.
