161 new transitions - using "Mask:From File"

Hi @dlampel, just worked OK for me. Clicked on filename, selected “download” from dropdown list. It zipped, then downloaded.

Thank you, jonray. Using Chrome what worked for me was to open each folder and then download each individual file. Then it didn’t ZIP, but just downloaded the MP4. Thank you for this excellent resource.

woah… this is awesome!

BRILLIANT. This will really come in useful when I put together the videos I intend to make of the trip to Japan my wife and I are going on in April.

This works very well, and it is a gateway for me to make my own transitions!
A small issue: at the end of a masked clip, if I do another build-in transition, the mask will show up again. how to get rid of it?

Cool! If you make any, perhaps post them here?

BTW a few months ago I made a tutorial about how to make custom transitions by using other programs:

Not too sure what you mean, can you elaborate?

@jonray oh yea I am an old school flash animation maker, so making the black-white short video is limited only by imagination. If I make any exceptionally good ones surely I will post. I love your method of “copying” the transitions from any other video editors you are a natural life hacker (smartass) :rofl:
BTW you have such an appealing voice in your youtube video enjoying listening to it.

I made a screenshot, it explains better:

Hi @KKnBB
In the OP I attached instructions :wink::smile:
Matte transition video files explanation and instructions.pdf (968.6 KB)

You’ll need to split your clip on V2. Make it exactly the same length as the original matte file. All explained in the pdf!!

LOL, made my day! Rest assured I am often more “ass” than “smart” :joy:
(Any smartness I do have has been gained from the wealth of information and knowhow freely given by the folks on here - to name just a few @sauron, @elusien, @drm, @samth @Hudson555x, @dvs, @Austin, @brian, and many others (sorry, can only mention 10 users in a post (more is not allowed), probably missed out some obvious names, sorry if I have…) and of course the big man @shotcut:smiley:

Thank you!

Wow, fantastic, @sauron!
I love the classy photos. Nice idea to add an artistic border.
This is a great resource to preview the transitions. Thank you.:+1:

But most of all, the music to your video 1 is ace. I thought… is that Chopin? Hmm, don’t recall hearing or playing that one…
so I screen captured your video, exported from SC as an mp3, ran it through Audio Tag - and found out it was BILLY JOEL!!
Opus 5, Waltz 2 (Steinway Hall) from the album Fantasies and Delusions.
40 years a music teacher, and I had never heard of it… will be looking into it. THANKS!:+1:

It’s his last studio album. Thought it was fitting for the brush strokes.
When I get a chance I’ll make a preview of the rest of the transitions.
HNY to you.:+1:

Thank you again for the Billy Joel music. PS I just googled to try to find the piano sheet music to Waltz 2, and it’s there but his name has been changed to William Joel! :stuck_out_tongue: Crazy!!

OMG that would be great! :+1:
HNY to you, to!! :fireworks:

EDIT: Good luck with the “Lines and Rectangles - 56 designs!!” It’s a lot of transitions :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

So COOL! Thanks! :+1::smiley:

Yes, I could do it… but I noticed that for it to work correctly for me, I had to ensure that “Invert” was ticked as per Step 12 image! Not sure if this is mentioned in the instructions. Capture

Thanks for pointing this out, @Johnny_Debt. Yes, most begin with a solid BLACK colour and end with WHITE. Some may start with white and end with black, though, in which case “invert” would be required. Should have put that in the instructions :smiley:

In the next version of Shotcut 20.02, you will be able to use these in transition clip > Properties > Video > Custom…
