Hi, and welcome back. And in this phase of the video, we've laid down some tracks, and I'm trying to make it in a sense that it looks like a movie trailer. It should make sense that it flows logically. For example, in this case, we started off with the drone flight going into the air. And I put a couple of other drone clips and we're going to go from this is from the air to the ocean. So now, I'm going to teach you a couple of techniques that you can use to make your video more exciting.

So I'm going to cover one of my favorite transitions and a transition that is being used a lot these days. The traditional ones are your crosses all that are transitioning from one clip to another. But I recommend you don't overuse transitions. If they're unnecessary, I will usually use a transition if we're switching from one scene two completely different environments. Or I think the transition should help the eyes full from one scene to another, if you're overusing transitions that can become a bit distracting, but it's really up to you how you want to create your video, but those are just some of my tips. And I encourage you to experiment with some of the other transitions that are available.

So to use this transition, you can place the playhead needle on the timeline and you can place it right Right over there. So if we play back the nice zoom effect, it looks like we went from the air into the ocean. And what I could do is I could go to a sound bank, I can actually put the sound of someone diving just to add that extra production value. Okay, let's make the timeline bigger here. Okay, another technique I want to show you is a keyframe zoom when I call a keyframe zoom. So, earlier on, I mentioned that you can do a digital zoom on 4k video clips without losing resolution.

So I'm going to do this at the beginning here. Or maybe I'll do it on Okay, tell you what, I'll do it on this clip, just it'll kind of even go along with this cross zoom transition. Okay, so let's first of all make sure. Okay, that's not to scale in. So currently it's at scale 50. Right?

So we can, we can really play around with that. Okay, so we're at scale 50. Now the key to pulling off this technique is you want to be precise. So in the timeline, I'm using the left and right arrows. So I want to go to the very first frame that this clip appears and then you can use this for a lot of different Have these options in the fat controls whenever you see this icon, so I'm going to hit that scale animation. And what that's doing is it's starting the keyframe.

So what I need to do next is just go along to the very end part, which is something like that. And I want to just set a value. So I will set it to 120. And what's that, what that is doing is all the frames in between, it's going to automatically do the calculations. That's gonna go all the way to 52 evaluation added at the end which was 120 something. So let's see how this looks once actually played back.

Not bad, not bad, not bad. So let's try this again with the very first clip. So again, we're at 50. And if you want to see what it would look like so you can just play around with the style here, so I can see it still looks okay up to 70 Okay, so I'll just reset it back to what it was before. the wide end is above 50. So now I started my keyframe and the needle is at the beginning of the clip and now I want to go to the end I'll double click, and I'll set this to let's just say 80.

Okay, and then we'll play this back. Okay, so we can see that we have a lot of area to fill up to complete our video. I just want to remind you to continually save your project. Just in case, you can set that in the preferences if you want it to autosave. And to go back to your media, you can go to project. So what I recommend is to go ahead and use some of the techniques you learn for applying the friend.

Try Transitions or different effects. To add some production value, use the keyframe scaling technique. And when we rejoin, I'm going to add some more video clips myself, and then we'll look at more or less of a Polish project. So we're almost there. We're getting there very quickly. And yeah, good luck.
