Transitions in iMovie 10.0.1 | Tutorial 13 Video Lecture | iMovie Mac: Basics to Advanced - Professional Skills

hello ladies and gents row here and
welcome to neural films today we're
gonna be continuing our iMovie tutorials
and we'll be going over content library
and the first thing we gotta cover is
transitions so let me open up iMovie and
this is that you the new iMovie layout
just in case you're new and joining us
some this is a gonna be 10 point oh I'm
actually running on iMovie ten point
zero point one which is the new version
that came out on top of the new
Mavericks version of iMovie which that
the way I just said that probably didn't
make much sense but I'm gonna do in this
tutorial you guys is how we're gonna
cover the content library transitions
section and I'm not gonna cover too many
at once because I kind of want to
discuss every aspect of it that way
everybody knows how to use it and I'm
not rushing myself through every single
tutorial but be sure to check out my
previous tutorials last total crap we
covered I believe it was in video and
audio effects which is a really cool in
under adjustments be sure to check out
those tutorials but let's begin right
away I'm gonna go change it transitions
but first before we do transitions we
have our clip here that we've been
working on for a while now and what I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna go down to my
events area where have my additional
footage that I've recorded and what I'm
going to do is I'm gonna add an
additional section of Clips almost like
this clip here let's do about 10 seconds
exactly and I'm gonna hit this little
plus sign cat it straight into our
project now we got an additional 10
seconds I'm gonna minimum smaller make
this a little bit smaller we can see and
I'm gonna open up my transitions and
show you guys how the transitions work
now the way iMovie 10 offers a lot of
transitions just like it's basically the
same ones iMovie the previous version of
iMovie hand you can see some of them
right here by simply going swiping over
and you'll see the transition in the
works and you'll see how they work and
this is actually a really cool feature
they was it was available and the old
version of iMovie as well but it's I
find that a lot smoother in this version
so there's there are limited amount
there's not you don't have like a whole
bunch hundreds of them but I like a
small selection that way I don't have to
I keep searching my call
want to find different little
differently different so there's only a
few here but the old they all work the
black and white is fade to white
fade to black is one of the Commons ones
but if you're trying to do something
really creative this is Vera this is one
right here the most sake I believe I'm
not saying that correctly but if you all
you gotta do is simply just drag you
select the clip you the transition you
want and drag and drop it and I'm going
to put it on the end here first and I
want you guys to know what is that this
clip here is exactly ten seconds long
the one we just entered or put in our
project so I might drag this and drop it
right here now you can notice that it
went down to nine seconds exactly that's
because this transition is taking up a
second in itself now you can change the
length of the transition by double
clicking it and it will actually let you
choose what how long you want the
transition to last now you gotta take in
mind that whenever you add a transition
it will take one second at that clip now
let's say you put the transition in
between the two clips now you should
understand that it takes five seconds of
this clip and five seconds no I mean not
five seconds 0.5 seconds not yeah that's
way too much it's point five seconds of
each clip so now you can see that it's
both you can see that this transition is
going and it goes right new to this
transit into this next clip here and
that's actually very important because
sometimes whenever you're doing a
transition you don't you don't take in
mind that it's taken off point five
seconds of your clip and turn it into a
transition and when you're talking they
actually like let's say you wanted
something to finish like you were saying
something and you wanted to finish that
sentence now you weren't able to finish
it because you just cut off but the 0.5
second transition so it's sometimes it's
good in mind when you're adding Clips
and going back to your events and you
add your clips make sure if you want to
do transition you add an extra maybe 0.5
seconds that you aren't really gonna use
and then drag it and drag it in and then
put the transition and that way that
point 5 seconds will be used in the
transition and I hope I didn't confuse
you guys there too much but if you have
a question below be sure to ask me I
will I will do my best to explain them
in the comments as well but yeah that's
the transition
you can see I'm going to turn down the
volume in this so I don't interrupt
myself but you I'm gonna play this and
you'll see the transaction transition
actually going in there and it's
actually really smooth yeah I love it
it's nice and easy but it actually adds
an additional effect to the footage
itself makes it more kiss it gets more
entertaining to watch when you have a
cool transitions between clips or edits
or like all of what you're presenting
your showing so that is definitely
recommended and that is basically of the
transitions like I said you can simply
double click them and they will tell you
how long how far I mean how long you
want the transition to last and you can
actually put it to apply to all
transitions meaning what that means is
you make this five seconds and then you
add additional transitions into your
project you can hit apply to whole
transitions that means all your
transitions will be one second long also
if you go to if you're in your iMovie
the I mean in your project and you'll be
able to actually see you got your events
library open and then you and then you
click your double you double click your
transition you have this mosaic you
actually click on this it'll put you
straight into the transitions area I
mean window where you can actually
change exchange the transition if you
don't like the current one you have now
you see now I have a different
transition in here because I just
swapped it and there you guys have it
that's it for transition so if you guys
