Transitions, text and graphics
Add titles, lower thirds and smooth transitions.
📖 Key ideas
- Use simple transitions: cut, cross dissolve, fade.
- Avoid overusing flashy transitions.
- Titles, captions and lower thirds add information.
- Motion graphics with After Effects or Fusion.
- Keep text readable: size, contrast, safe areas.
💡 Real-life example: Transitions are doors between rooms: most should be simple; fancy ones only for special rooms.
