Thank you a lot for this video. Very well explained! I managed to pull all of the transitions off. I'll definitely use some of them in my next few videos!
I read the below comments, and several of them complain about you talking too fast. I agree. Remember that we are learning. Don't move your mouse so fast. It gets me dizzy and I don't get where you're clicking. Again, we are learning!!!
Hey EJ, thanks for this! You were to the point and concise! 👍 I've always wondered if Shotcut has more than one type of transition and now thanks to you, I'm glad there are many to choose from! 👌 I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber and fan! 😎
This is great! There is just one problem, when i merge the 2 clips together the sound is distorted from the actual video. please tell me how to fix this.
The the extra inbuilt transition properties was awesome to learn. If possible can you add some 3rd part links to open source transitions like the last example. It took me 30 minutes just to get a decent open source royalty free lens flare overlay that did not involve shtterstock or money. Thx for great content
What! It has more than that one transition!? I wasn't aware. This was mind-blowing. Thank you so much. BTW. I have a question about something else I would love to do. My animation program, Krita, seems to support transparent animation. But they never show up as transparent on Shotcut. Is there anything I can do, to make this work? It is not super needed, but would be a nice effect to use once in a while.
I am quite new to Shotcut, but do find it a very good program. However, transitions are a bit of a problem. Is there any way, to perhaps set up multiple transitions at one time, each with the exact same options / length. It's a bit annoying having to one-by-one drag the right clip over the left one and try to position it to exactly match a previous one, say 24 frames in length.
you take the risk, that if you repeat the same transitions again and again, that the whole presentation/video will feel form viewer perspective very boring. Imagine, you have a water flow ... as soon you squeeze this water flow into a straight channel, then the excitement to watch a natural water flow in a "wild river bed" is gone. Thats not interesting for the senses. I think you need to think more from audience side, and take each transition for itself and adapt it to momentary situation, e.g. music in the background can have an impact onto the emotional expression ... and to this should be adapted also the transition. Every good movie has very individual transitions ... and that's what makes a video/movie/reel a good one, isn't ?
Do you advise to mix up transitions or to stick with one (length and style). What do u think looks more professional for a documentary type of video? Thanks!
When editing documentary type videos or anything that requires a more "professional" touch, I usually tend to keep things simple. Meaning that your transitions should not get in the way of the actual story. Instead it should be supporting the flow of the story. Each scene transition should be looked at carefully to then decide what transition best fits the scene change. I mainly use short and quick transitions. Either being an L or J cut, using B-Roll to cover up a transition, classic fade in/out transitions. My favorite being not adding a transition at all. Most of the time they're not need and just having 2 clips is more than enough. I just realized that this question and answer would be great for a TH-cam short. Do you mind if shared your question with everyone else?
Great video! I am just having trouble finding the actual overlay transitions to download. I read in the comments in the bottom that you can find them on TH-cam, but the algorithm is only showing me tutorials. Can you please provide a link with downloadable transitions? Thank you!
Please answer these questions, if you have the time! : Does shotcut lag a lot? Does shotcut crash often? Is shotcut a very efficient software to use for editing/making videos for events (such as baby videos, youtube videos, etc.)?
1) Depends on computer specs 2) Sometimes also depends on computer specs and optimization. 3) Yes. Shotcut is a very versatile tool, you can make as simple or advanced videos as you want. Btw if you want an in depth review just check out the Review video I made on Shotcut.
I was mad excited that I couldn't express that , I have been learning been looking for transitions then I saw your video. Love you vocally explain and that you break it down in detailed steps for a beginner to really get it right . WELL-DONE! ALL the way from Nigeria!👍👍👌
Great Video! The quality of the video is really good for the amount of subscribers and views you have. Honestly though. Your presentation and method of doing things is comparable to other famous youtubers
1:07 before I see the shotcut interface at all. Whatever you are using for your intro had me about to downvote for mistitling as I assumed this was a tutorial for a different program.
Yea sorry I use clips of my video editor when I'm editing the video you are seeing whenever I do some sort of voice over, but I did show Shotcut in the beginning tho. I might have to fix that in future videos. Thanks for the feedback!
If you're using preset transitions then they should always be there for you to use everytime. But if you're making a custome transition using keyframes, there is a copy and paste button underneath the filters that you are using or inside the keyframes timeline as well.
@@EJTech. I am using preset transition but my question is if I am applying a transition between first and second videos and if I want to apply same time duration transition between 3 and 4 video and how to copy transition which is applied between 1 and 2 and paste between 3 and 4th video.
Yea of course, I made a video on how to remove a green screen background, but I can totally make a video on how to make green screen clips. Did you have a specific type of clip that you would like to turn into a green screen clip?
There is a zoom icon (the lens), near the word Timeline. You can thus zoom in. There is a zoom out button to the left side. There is also a scroll bar between the zoom out and zoom in buttons, you can use it to change the zoom level.
So if you want to fade a video to black you can either go to... 1) Filters 2) Video Tab 3) Choose fade in/out video (depending on what you need) 4) adjust settings Or Go to the start or end of the clip in the video track, and go to the corner and a little icon should appear that allows you to drag it to add a add in or out from there.
When you change the speed of a clip (to slower so longer) it will overlap the next clip instead of pushing it over, any way to prevent this?? I'm always messing around with the speed and it's incredibly annoying.
I actually have a separate video on how to adjust the speed of your video. What I would do is to add the effect separate and be sure to select only on the video clip you want to adjust it too. If that doesn't work try adding a separate track. Let me know if any of this works.
@@EJTech. I watched your other video and it doesn't answer my question. I also watched a handful of other tutorials on other channels and it seems everyone is avoiding to point out this specific major flaw in Shotcut. The only way is as you mention, create a second track and move everything over one by one. I love everything else about it, but this is a dealbreaker for me.
Yea no worries, like I said in my review, Shotcut may not be for everyone, its just important to keep on looking for that video editor that suits your needs.
You can delete the transition by right clicking and delete. You can drag both clips away from each other so they don't overlap. You can cut or slice the start and end of the transition in the video if its already integrated. But you'll have to adjust the video accordingly.
@@EJTech. thanks for the info👍🏽. You can be a hero to use newbies if you do a video. The only videos are from earlier versions of shortcut which shows some long complicated process. Thanks.
was about to watch the tutorial from the shotcut youtube channel, but once I heard his lame voice who was about to sleep making the video, I switched to another video with only 7500 but good energetic voice and good sound quality, keep up your videos.
This is probably a great video if you're a total tech geek. You lost me in about 30 seconds and I'm no better off than when I started. I just want to fade in at the beginning of a scene with a large number of different images. I guess I'll do like normal and do all the heavy lifting in OBS because at least that software makes sense.

Happy to help!
Pretty awesome 👍
So helpful...thank you so much
This is great! There is just one problem, when i merge the 2 clips together the sound is distorted from the actual video. please tell me how to fix this.
Not sure if you figured this out or not, but there is an Audio Cross-fade option
Interesting tutorials!😊 thank you

Same here!
Is it possible to add a transition to multiple splits in one step or do you have to move all clips individually? Good info!
This is i looking for.....tnx a lot
Glad to help!
@@EJTech. can we put more different transitions just like kinemaster app
I haven't used Kinemaster, but you can use the default transitions that Shotcut has, or if you want custom ones, you'll have to make them yourself.
@@EJTech. tnx for your help👍
Yea for sure!
Thank you
Great...thanks!
BEST SIR...
I'm trying to figure out the sequence you use.. do you record the video and then write a script?
I like try using my own and be creative but this is good for people that are starting out
thanks bro

how about to apply the transition between video track layers?
AND THATS WHY HES THE GOAT
Great Video! The quality of the video is really good for the amount of subscribers and views you have. Honestly though. Your presentation and method of doing things is comparable to other famous youtubers
Wow, you are very knowledgable but I have to go to a slower paced tutorial for old people. 😀
New subbie tysm!
How can I change the transition time? I know I can use the mouse to move it around but is it possible to type in a time length in seconds?
How do you make transistions longer???? I'm struggling with that.
1:07 before I see the shotcut interface at all. Whatever you are using for your intro had me about to downvote for mistitling as I assumed this was a tutorial for a different program.
Yea sorry I use clips of my video editor when I'm editing the video you are seeing whenever I do some sort of voice over, but I did show Shotcut in the beginning tho. I might have to fix that in future videos. Thanks for the feedback!
@@EJTech. What other video editor do you use?
Sony Vegas 17
How can we add same seconds transition between every video I mean is there any feature of copy and paste transition
If you're using preset transitions then they should always be there for you to use everytime. But if you're making a custome transition using keyframes, there is a copy and paste button underneath the filters that you are using or inside the keyframes timeline as well.

can i add transitions without cutting some parts of the footage ?
Which version of Shotcut is this? It looks way nicer than the one i have LOL
They're always updating it. I would suggest getting the newest version on the website
what is the editor in intro? sony vegas? what version?
I believe it was Sony Vegas pro 16
I think it was a while ago
Please tell me the name of the program you are using it for editing please
Currently I'm using DaVinci Resolve. But I think for this video I used Sony Vegas
thanks
omg thx so much
where do i find overlays all i keep finding is twitch ones
For this example I would type "greenscreen 2d transitions" on TH-cam. You should get different options and just choose the ones you like.
@@EJTech. wow im suprised u replyed most youtubers never reply to me thank
s
No problem, just glad I could help!
@@EJTech. also how do i get my timeline to show???
You can go to view and select timeline or ctrl 5
Hey bro ! I am a movie maker. But in these recent days I beca a sick fan of Alan Walker. I researched 'bout Nice tutorialm and got to know that
hi, can you make a video tutorial on making vid clips to green screen.
Yea of course, I made a video on how to remove a green screen background, but I can totally make a video on how to make green screen clips. Did you have a specific type of clip that you would like to turn into a green screen clip?
My edit timeline band is quite narrow as i have a 2560 x 1440 resolution. Yours looks quite wide. Is there any way to increase the size of it?
There is a zoom icon (the lens), near the word Timeline. You can thus zoom in. There is a zoom out button to the left side. There is also a scroll bar between the zoom out and zoom in buttons, you can use it to change the zoom level.
thank you..
Glad to help!
Can I add transitions files to use more transition ?
Depending on the type of files. Are you using normal video format files?
I downloaded (.prfpset) extension type files!. Can I add them into shotcut?
You can certainly try, but I'm not sure if it will open on Shotcut the only one I seen work are MOV. Files with an alpha tranparent background.
how can make something fade to black?
So if you want to fade a video to black you can either go to...
1) Filters
2) Video Tab
3) Choose fade in/out video (depending on what you need)
4) adjust settings
Or
Go to the start or end of the clip in the video track, and go to the corner and a little icon should appear that allows you to drag it to add a add in or out from there.
When you change the speed of a clip (to slower so longer) it will overlap the next clip instead of pushing it over, any way to prevent this?? I'm always messing around with the speed and it's incredibly annoying.

Where can I download transitions pack for free?
You can look for them on TH-cam, I know that there are some channels who are dedicated in providing free video effects in the description.
@@EJTech. okay cool because I'm a beginner using shotcut video editor and ever tip helps 🙏
Where do I find the transitions?
is there an easy way to remove transitions?
You can delete the transition by right clicking and delete. You can drag both clips away from each other so they don't overlap.
You can cut or slice the start and end of the transition in the video if its already integrated. But you'll have to adjust the video accordingly.

When you delete transitions, why does shotcut always change the length of the previous clip? That is so annoying. Now I have to trim the clip again.
Very mostly helpful video but you mention setting the key frame to default to the specific video timeline without telling us how to do that.
legit thought when the transition thing happens it breaks the clips but the more you know 😂
Nice tutorial...except: "Basically, it was basically more basically..."
We need to be able to turn off transition.
this shortcut new version download give me answer
fuhhh... you talk like tomorrow is your last day life in the world bro... btw yaaa thx alot your vid is helpfull
The frequency of your use of the word "Basically" was almost enough to stop the video. But, thanks for the useful tutorial.
Also the use of "you guys" finally made me close the tutorial. Such a shame but if you omitted that term you wouldn’t have to speak so fast.
this is not shotcut this is sony vegas pro
I'm seeking for video knowledge if it's free
"More longer", "more faster" is redundant. 'Longer' means, 'longer'. 'Faster' means, 'faster'. Just sayin...
There's always a pedant.
This is probably a great video if you're a total tech geek. You lost me in about 30 seconds and I'm no better off than when I started.
