Hi Bruno -

You should be very pleased with what you've done. Nicely shot & put together.

If you're really looking for criticism, that spinning snapshot at 2:30 that transitions into the video at 2:38 is a bit of a distraction. It might have worked better if the snapshot had matched exactly the opening frame of the video & you'd left out the transitions (before & after the snapshot).

BUT - that doesn't take away from the overall job you've done

Cheers - Tony

I enjoyed the video. I also tend to use no transitions in videos just cuts but that is my personal prefs.

Unlike Tomasc(and possibly Ynotfish),

I DO use transitions in ALL my videos to "segue" between two differing locations, time periods, etc. I found the best transition effects for differing locations or time periods to be swing, flip, full twist, fragments or magic blocks. For transitions where the location or time period is the same, then perhaps a simple fade, evaporate or threshold(1 or 2) is a good option. The effect is usually set at 5 seconds duration. I apply transitions between shots because just "jumping" from one scene to another appears jarring and rough. I watch a lot of documentary-type shows on TV, and for all the so-called "professionalism" of these producers, directors and editors", their lack of transition use sometimes has me wondering if they are as professional as they claim to be.

Don't be afraid to use transitions! It's what they're there for! There are some excellent transition effects in PD14, plus the provision to create customised transitions of your own design.... Wow!

Cheers!

Neil.
