FilmImpact.net Transition Pack 1



FilmImpact.Net just released its new Transition Pack 1 for Premiere Pro. The new transition pack contains 10 transitions for CS5.5 and CS6. Transition Pack 1 is available for $19.99. The transitions include the following:


Sure, you can go in and add key frames to position and ease them. But this would be so useful for editors. Allowing them to add transitions quickly that don't look like ****. The fancy new features like scene detection and auto transcribe audio to subs is impressive, but this would be so much more and useful and I suspect pretty easy to add for the devs.


Please make this!This is so basic yet so useful.Everytime I have to do a transition that looks a bit nice, I have to import to AfterEffects and then back again. Having control over the transition easing would save so much time and frustration.I think many professionals agree that transitions without easing often look very amateurish.


In this post, we look at the new Transition Pack 4 from FilmImpact.net, and how these professional and affordable transitions can impact your edit points. Make sure you read to the end for a limited-time FilmImpact.net discount, and information on how to get 5 free FilmImpact.net transitions!


FilmImpact.net transitions are actual transitions, as opposed to overlays, effects, or effect presets. They can be applied to edit points, just like the native transitions in Premiere Pro. But unlike the native transitions, which have very few options for customization, FilmImpact.net transitions have lots of intuitive properties.


The versatility of FilmImpact.net video transitions is incredible! They work with video, stills, and graphics, such as titles, logos, lower thirds, etc. Additionally, FilmImpact.net transitions can be applied to HDR footage without cutting off color information.


Adjust the timing of the transition directly in the Timeline. No need to mess with keyframes or clip lengths; grab the transition and just slide it left or right. Double click the transition to enter a new duration.


Impact Flicker rapidly intercuts between clip A and clip B, as seen in many popular music videos and film trailers. This transition eliminates the tedious process of creating flicker effects with the razor tool. It also allows for much more control and flexibility over the creative styling of the flicker.


Unlike the seamlessness of Impact Plateau Wipe, Impact Slice is all about seams. It cuts up your footage into evenly spaced segments, and then push-reveals clip B. In order to slide-reveal clip B, leaving clip A in place, add the transition to a layer above clip A. (See example below.)


Impact Warp is, perhaps, the most powerful transition in Transition Pack 4. It achieves all the variations of the popular zoom and rotate transitions seen in YouTube travel vlogs, within a single transition. No more having to create zooms with Replicate, Mirror, and Transform effects; Impact Warp does it all!


If you would like to get some FilmImpact.net transitions for free, download Transition Pack 1, and use Impact Dissolve, Impact Flash, Impact Push, Impact Roll, and Impact Blur to Color watermark free!

Jaap H. Boerhof, founder of FilmImpact.Net, has been a video editor for many years. He started building video transitions in 2009 using Final Cut Pro FX Script. When he moved to Premiere Pro, he re-wrote his transitions in C++. Before this interview, Jaap and I met at Adobe Video World in Seattle, WA. It was there I learned that he actually began his career early studying computer science and then ended up finishing his degree as a drama teacher. We laughed and then realized that computer science + drama may just be the perfect combination for video editing. In this interview, below, learn about how and why he started building his awesome video effects.


Jaap: When I was working as a video editor, I created a lot of promotional videos. Doing so, I was particular interested in video transitions because they helped me creating some cool effects quickly. I used video transitions not just for transitioning from one scene to another, but also for concealing and revealing texts, lower thirds, logos, etc. I wanted to have more of them, so I started building them.


Jaap: Film Impact transitions can really be used for any type of video production. Using more or less, of course, will all depend on the style you are after. Some of the video transitions could be used for creating a flash back in a movie, while others could be perfect for adding more energy to a promotional video. Some of them work beautifully on texts while others are excellent for logo reveals. We have quite a wide range of different effects that all will fit in one or more genres.


Gal: What role does hard sciences (math, engineering, physics) play into the transitions and effects you build? Were you a developer or Engineer before you started making video effects?


Jaap: I have done some effects on request. One example is TMZ. This celebrity news website was moving from Final Cut to Premiere and wanted to have some of their frequently used video transitions ported to Premiere Pro.


Jaap: There is a NBC news promo made by Eric Naso that uses almost all video transitions of Transition Pack 2. It is fantastic to see how he works with the video transitions for only a couple of frames. His usage of our video transitions help to create a very energetic promo - I love it!
