I love "No Effect" transition for the group of clips of the same subject.

Since ALL transitions need to be re-encoded in SVRT mode I was wondering if you know a trick of simulating "No Effect" transition by trimming/clipping your clips and without compromising SVRT rules. Is it even possible at all?

Hi Andy,
I'm sure you have watch many films/video over the years and especially adverts. You can learn a lot just watching and understanding from an editor's perspective.

Note how fast and punchy the advert clips are delivered. Very short flash and bang the visual message is screened. See the sequences evolve in a blockbuster video with 5 second scene sections with a longer clip following. Do you see the lack of transitions... Yep, no transition and sure confident editing is what some of us try to aim for.

Hi Andy,

I agree with Dafydd. There is no way to apply a transition without having to re-encode that specific part of the timeline.

I'd use transitions rarely if I were you, in order to speed up the production process and preserve quality.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi all,
The "no effect" transition has an huge advantage:
It applies a hard cut for the video but of course applies a cross fade to the audio.
I use this transition especially when the audio of two following clips differs much in volume or character.

It is one of my 4 favorite transitions

deBabba,

I did too always thought that if you apply "No Effect" transition it cuts away the last few and the first few frames of the two transitioned videos where you likely to have camera shakage as well as fades the audio in and out with just one click of a button.

Without transition, one will have to manually trim/clip the ends of the videos and manually apply audio fading himself. Am I correct?

Hi Andy,
exactly that's what it does !!
With the length of the transition you can define how many frames are cut away and how smooth the audio cross fade should be.

By the way this is the only method to create an easy audio crossfade with zero effort. Any other method has to extract the audio of both clips to different audio tracks and fade then in and out one by one manually. TERRIBLE.

Audio crossfades are already on the wishlist
