In this video editing tutorial, we will cover matte transitions and how to use them effectively in different software.

Never underestimate the power of a great transition! Not only does it keep your audience glued to the screen, but it can help you produce more engaging content and avoid mundane cuts.

In this tutorial, we show you how to use our Paper Transition products as mattes to creatively transition between two video clips.

Using Matte Transitions 

We will cover different methods in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Resolve, VEGAS, and more, showing you multiple workflows that work best for you and your project.

This matte transition tutorial covers:

  • The two layers that come with Paper Transitions (The matte itself & RGBA clip showing textures of the paper)
  • Track mattes
  • Alpha mattes
  • Luma mattes
  • Adjusting mattes based on composition size
