Creative tip - How to create a "JUMP" video effect, good for aerial shots

[jonray]

Hi @samth, good to hear from you, and thanks for the feedback.

@samth

It is quasi a zoom-in effect

Now that’s a good description - or in fact it could be a quasi-pan effect, or even a quasi-zoom-out effect, depending on the direction/movement of the aerial shot itself.

Actually I’d like to ask if anyone knows if this effect has a standard recognised name in video editing parlance? (I just called it “Jump” without doing any research into the name…).

@samth

It has similarities to the Jitter effect but with one second intervals removed, I would say it is substantially different. The use cases are just not the same.

I agree. The Jitter is especially good for music/dancing videos, as @drm showed in his excellent demo here, but the JUMP effect wouldn’t be good for this because of the 1-second cut-outs.
