Hi folks,
I made and uploaded a new tutorial video to Youtube.
This tutorial shows how to easily adapt transitions from other programs and use them in Shotcut, extending the number of transitions available to the Shotcut user.
The process involves creating a black and white “matte” transition file, then applying it to a clip via the “Mask from file” filter.

Here’s my “blurb” on the Youtube video description:
Shotcut has a large selection of video transitions (artistic ways of transitioning between one clip and the next) - including Bar Horizontal, Barn Door, Diagonal, Matrix, Iris Circle, etc.
Other video editors, including free ones like Windows Movie Maker, Openshot, Lightworks, Kdenlive and PhotoStage, have built-in transitions too.
