Good morning all.
I wanted to create a diagonal opening transition with a bar and this was the best I could produce https://streamable.com/o5fkkz
However, I have no doubt completed this in a laborious manner and would like to know if it can be done more easily. (ignore the stock footage and red bars, they are that colour to make it more apparent)
It is completed over 5 tracks, SPR filters to move the bars and upper/lower png to its relevant corner and an initial fade in of the bar.
Maybe something like that?
Hover over the transition, properties tab and choose the transition from the menu (in this case SO-NE diagonal door), invert it to appear from the center, and adjust the softness to make the line less blurred.
Another option I can think of (although I don’t know if it’s more work), is to have a red line (in PNG or even SVG format).
Make the transition as I show in my video and then apply the line twice (in V2 and V3 tracks) handling them with SPR (to rotate them and place them on top of the transition border). With keyframes, you can make the movement of the lines match the movement of the transition.
You wouldn’t even need to angle crop the frame.
I’m cooking family meals so I can’t give a demonstration right now.
No, the meal not includes “pimientos de padrón”. But this includes leek (the green part), turmeric, salt, carrot, red pepper and chicken meatballs. The garnish is boiled pasta.
But you got it right. I am from Galicia and I know very well “Pimientos de Padrón”, although many years ago I moved to live in Valencia (place of the paella and the Fallas).
If you still have an older version of Shotcut that supports webVfx, I can provide you with a filter that makes it very easy to add different simple geometric shapes to your videos.
Demo
It is possible to achieve this transition without using external software.
V1 - first image, no filter
V2 - Clip of the line color, 1 single mask filter with 4 keyframes
