1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:06,840
In this movie, we're going to look at how to do fade ins and dissolves now, fade and fade outs and

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,320
dissolves are those things that make our movies look amazing.

3
00:00:11,010 --> 00:00:17,070
I've set up this movie with three clips from Videocon, and you can see it's a really stylish video

4
00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:19,490
of an old school film projector.

5
00:00:19,950 --> 00:00:25,430
It's a very slow moving picture with a camera kind of moves really nicely filmed.

6
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:32,490
So this kind of video needs dissolves in between the clips because if you have a look at the way the

7
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:37,210
clip jumps from one to another doesn't really suit the style of the film.

8
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,440
So what we're going to do, first of all, is see how do we put a fade in into our movie?

9
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:45,360
I'll zoom in a little bit.

10
00:00:45,630 --> 00:00:51,450
Just rewind it to the start and you can see the start of the movie is this beautiful shot of the projector

11
00:00:51,810 --> 00:00:53,550
with the film running through the spools.

12
00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:00,270
And what we're going to do is move our mouse all the way to the beginning and we're just going to wait

13
00:01:00,270 --> 00:01:05,400
for it to turn into that hech like there I'm going to.

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:05,760
Right.

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,660
Click on my mouse and I've got to do a couple of things here.

16
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:16,590
I've got to make sure the position says from here not to here, not centered here but from here the

17
00:01:16,590 --> 00:01:21,690
length I've put at 72 frames now that's roughly three seconds in real life.

18
00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:26,410
I'm going to move that down to 30 and will mess around with that in a second.

19
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,280
And what we're going to do is we're going to add a dissolve.

20
00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:34,380
And what that does is it instantly puts a fade in into our movie.

21
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:38,170
So far, Pressplay, you can see that it fades in from black.

22
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,900
Now, I found that a little bit too fast, especially for a film of this style.

23
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:45,510
So it kind of just jumps in with the fade.

24
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,310
I'm going to undo that with my mouse.

25
00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:49,890
Go back to the heat there.

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,060
Right click.

27
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:58,500
Making sure it says from here the length I'm going to put at 72 frames and I'm going to add that dissolve

28
00:01:58,500 --> 00:01:59,010
in again.

29
00:01:59,010 --> 00:02:00,240
And we'll have a look now.

30
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:06,900
And there you go, I find that really nice, the way it fades in much slower.

31
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:14,560
And much more stylish, so that's a really fast way of getting a fade in, of course, we can put a

32
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,170
fade out at the end of our movie and we'll figure out how to do that in a second.

33
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:24,340
Now, using the same technique, we can actually add a dissolve from one clip to another without going

34
00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:26,440
to the VFX tab, which is kind of cool.

35
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:28,830
So let's have a look at this clip over here.

36
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:37,430
And you can see that it jumps from this shot of the projector directly to this one, and it doesn't

37
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:38,320
look so cool to me.

38
00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:42,080
So what I'm going to do is make sure I've got that Hatra on the mouse.

39
00:02:42,090 --> 00:02:43,550
I'm going to right click.

40
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:48,750
Make my length 72 now and add in a dissolve.

41
00:02:49,820 --> 00:02:56,150
And what should happen now is as we play this movie, it's going to do our dissolve over three seconds.

42
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:59,840
And I find that really cool, especially in a movie of this style.

43
00:03:00,470 --> 00:03:02,540
Now, let's figure out how we're going to do a fade out.

44
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:10,000
Just zoom out a little bit and I'm going to go to the end again, making sure that I've got that Hatra

45
00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:12,560
my mouse, I'm going to right click this time.

46
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,680
Instead of saying from here, I'm going to say to here.

47
00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:22,420
Again, I'm going to make sure I've got 72 frames and I'm going to add in a dissolve and it will just

48
00:03:22,420 --> 00:03:24,550
kind of add that dissolve at the end.

49
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:28,710
And so my movie will finish with a fade out like that.

50
00:03:29,630 --> 00:03:35,620
I find that very cool and a very easy way of getting your dissolves and you fade in and you fade outs

51
00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:36,340
into your movie.
