Lessons have been assigned to them based on their diagnostic test results both in Math and Reading. Within each lesson are brain break games. The district is pushing a goal of 45 minutes per week on Online Lessons in ELA and 45 minutes per week in Math to close the gaps found in the diagnostic. Math and ELA are providing some of that time during the week, but not all.

On the left...

Select DESKTOP

Open the RUSH FILES>Transitions Folder

Select the 4 files!

Click on the frames in the order as shown left!

Click Create

Select the first shot in the sequence

Select the first clip in the sequence by positioning the playhead over it. You should see it highlighted with yellow around it!

Open the Transitions Panel

On the right are panels...click the Effects (Transitions) Panel

Under Transitions...choose Dissolve

When a clip is selected in the sequence, the transition is applied at both the start and end of the clip.

A cross dissolve blends one shot into another...

Applying to all?

When a clip is selected in the sequence, the transition is applied at both the start and end of Press CTRL + A to select all the clips in the sequence and then choose cross dissolveclip.

From the presets panel, the transition will be applied at every cut point between all the clips.

Now...

Deselect all (or simply click on the first clip) and select the first clip again, and this time I'll choose the BLACK preset.

The first clip will simply fade up from black, but when it's placed between clips, this transition fades the outgoing clip to black and then fades up on the next shot like a blink.

A BLACK transition is typically used to signal the beginning or end of the scene, so its used at the very end of the sequence rather than select the final clip, which would apply the transition in two places.

Let's drag the preset to the clip this time

Drag the dip to black preset from the transition panel and drop it at the end of the last clip.

The first clip will simply fade up from black, but when it's placed between clips, this transition fades the outgoing clip to black and then fades up on the next shot like a blink.

WHITE preset...

Another useful transition is WHITE, which works a lot like BLACK, but as you'd expect, fades the image to and from white.

We will add the WHITE preset to where the camera tilts up into the fog above the Golden Gate Bridge.

To do this, drag the WHITE present to the beginning of the clip 

Click the PLAY button to see the transition

Increase the time on transitions...

Perhaps it could be longer with this transition still selected in the sequence.

Select the yellow transition on the timeline and drag the slider to the right to extend the duration. You can also enter a numeric value.

Type 2 and press return to make this dip to white take exactly 2 seconds.

It will take one second for the first image to fade to white and another second for the clip to fade in.

Click the PLAY button to see the transition

Let's change the transition for the cyclist...

To transition on the cyclist's motion right into the next clip so it feels like we're seeing her POV (point of view) over the handlebars as she continues to ride onto the bridge.

Drag and drop a cross dissolve preset onto this cut and play through it.

It doesn't quite work yet.

We need to adjust the timing and position of this transition.

Dragging the edges of the effect...

Press the equal sign to zoom in.

Now we can click on the center of the transition and drag it left or right, so the effect will begin and end earlier or later as it blends the two clips together.

If we drag the transition to the right of the cut, it doesn't really work because you can see the cyclist slowing down and coming to a stop.

But if we drag the transition to the left so it ends at the cut point, the incoming clip will be fully visible before her bike comes to a stop, creating the illusion that she's still in motion and now riding on the bridge.

If you want to change an existing transition, just select it in the sequence and choose another preset.

The transition type updates, but the location and duration of the effect stays in place.

If you want to update the duration 2, drag the edges or double click on the transition which opens the edit panel.

Be careful dragging the duration slider in the edit panel when more than one clip is selected in the sequence, because the slider can update many transitions at once.
