In today’s video we cover 4 (arguably 5) different types of transitions. Whether you work as an editor or animator these techniques/styles will be applicable. The most important part however is to know when and why certain types of transitions work and why they don’t in other scenarios. That is some of what we cover in this video. As always, thank you for watching!
