To create most transitions, overlap two clips and apply a BCC Þlter effect to each clip. This method provides greater
control over effect parameters since you can animate the incoming and outgoing shots separately. You can animate the
Layer Opacity to reveal the incoming shot.
1.
Place the outgoing shot above the incoming shot. Overlap the clips for the duration that you want your transition.
The outgoing shot must be on a track higher in the Layers Pane and the Timeline to properly reveal the
incoming shot.
2.
Apply the appropriate BCC effect to the top track and trim it to only apply to the overlapping section. Select the
effect to load it into the Inspector. In this example, a BCC Ripple is added.
3.
Click the Inspector tab in the Library window to display the Þlter controls.
In this example, you want the Racers clip to start unrippled, then gradually ripple as it dissolves out. In most
instances, you want the clip to start unÞltered and then gradually animate.
4.
Position the playhead at the beginning of the Þlter. Add a keyframe
for the
Height
and
Wave Width
parameters and
set their values to
0
. This sets the parameters so that the clip is unaffected by the effect, which prevents the effect
from jumping.
5.
Create a keyframe at the last frame in the effect and increase
Height
and
Wave Width
to
35
and
40
respectively.
6.
Create a keyframe in the middle of the Þlter and move the playhead to the keyframe.
7.
In the Inspector, set the
Opacity
parameter to
100
. Move the playhead to the last frame in the effect and set
Opacity
to
0
. The effect now animates from fully opaque at the middle keyframe to fully transparent at the last keyframe.
8.
Apply the same BCC effect to the bottom track and trim it to only apply to the overlapping section. Select the effect
to load it into the Inspector.
9.
In the Inspector, create a keyframe in the middle of the effect. Set
Opacity
to
50
.
10.
Select the last keyframe and set
Opacity
to
100
.
11.
Create keyframes at the Þrst frame of the effect for
Height
and
Wave Width
. Leave the values at their default
settings of
35
and
40.
12.
Create keyframes at the last frame. Set these two parameters to
0
so that no effect is visible. This prevents the effect
from jumping.
Time 00:00:00:00 Time 00:00:00:10
Time 00:00:00:20 Time 00:00:01:00
13.
Render the two effects just as you would any Motion effects.
Working with Parameter Groups
Each Continuum Complete Þlter has a number of parameter controls which are categorized into groups. Groups of
parameters appear under a text header. The illustration below includes one parameter group—Source Edges.
