3D Explosions- Avid effects, Premiere effects, Vegas effects, Ulead effects, Pinnacle effects

Many of the 3D transitions support setting the background image to “Transparent.”

Although typically you would place a static image or color or even live video in the background, there’s no reason this couldn’t be used to overlay one transition on another.

Hmmm… What if we used this to combine two really explosive transitions from the 3D Explosions collection? Would it make a really, really explosive transition?

Let’s try it.

Start with two clips overlapping in the Vegas timeline. By default, overlapping clips simply cross dissolve.

Copy and Paste the two clips into the track directly below. Once the topmost track has some transparency, the second track will display through the transparent portions.

For this transition, let’s double up two explosive transitions: 3D Intensity Grid and 3D Grid Fall Away.

First, drop the 3D Intensity Grid “Hi Res” preset onto the top transition.

The Intensity Grid explodes the image upward while the simple dissolve transition on Track Two acts as a background.

Then, drop the “Materialize” preset from 3D Grid Fall Away on the second track. This particular preset runs in reverse, so hundreds of tiny pieces assemble into the final image in the background.

Play the transition!

If you are feeling maniacal, layer three, four, or five transitions on top of each other!

NewBlue 3d Explosions

Want to inject explosive energy into your videos with ease? Then you need NewBlue 3D Explosions. This astonishing collection of customizable 3D transitions includes 180 presets in 13 different plugins that introduce creative new ways to blast a scene into pieces. Morph between scenes with explosive energy, swirl pieces that reassemble into the new scene or dramatically blast the image into smithereens. All these and more are yours with NewBlue 3D Explosions.

Includes: Blow Apart, Bouncing Cubes, Bouncing Frames, Box Explode, Confetti, Grid Fall Away, Grid Explosion, Intensity Grid, Plane Explode, Spiral, Spiral Rotation, Vortex, and Wiggle.

Blow Apart makes your first scene drop away, then break into a grid that's blown apart to reveal your second scene.

Bouncing Cubes converts the first and second scenes into 3D-looking cubes with user-adjustable behavior.

Bouncing Frames converts the first scene into a series of bouncing "frames" before blending into the next.

Box Explode folds your first scene into a spinning box that flies apart to reveal your second scene.

Confetti turns the first scene into bits of three-dimensional confetti that blow off the screen to reveal the second scene.

Grid Blast shrinks your first scene, then divides it into a grid whose pieces fly off the screen to reveal your second scene.

Grid Explosion slices the first scene into a grid of particles that blast apart on trajectories determined by the shape of the image to reveal the second scene.

top^

Grid Fall Away breaks your first scene into pieces that fall away from the camera, with the darker portions falling faster than the lighter ones.

top^

Intensity Grid turns the scene into a rectangular grid in which the lighter pieces fly towards the camera, then contract and fade into the second scene.

top^

Spiral breaks your scene into panels that spiral inward, then return to spiral outward, re-forming into the second scene.

top^

Spiral Rotation breaks your first scene into a rectangular grid of panels that spiral inward while flipping around an axis, and then spiral back out to reassemble as the second scene.

top^

Vortex breaks the first scene into small pieces that twirl and fly around the screen to reveal the second scene.

top^

Wiggle makes the first scene bulge outward and wiggle like a flag in the breeze as it turns into the second scene.
