Largest number of different transitions you've used

[requiett]

I think I've used a "transition" from an editing program... maybe 1 time... ever.

You never use cross-dissolves?

I've never used the actual transition version of it... I just adjust the fades.

Canned transitions are for lamers

Transitions are where it's at for effects, so why settle for something so bland?

i've never used transitions. ever.


Not even the cross fade, I learned to do it manually and always have using the opacity control ;p

[CodeZTM]

Zero.

Like the others, I use opacity and do it manually. You have a lot more control that way.

Though, if I'm in a hurry for some video project for school, then I'll use 2-3.

**looks at OP**

Where exactly did the OP say stock transitions?

I think i've transitioned 5 different ways at most.

[JaddziaDax]

i have never counted nor do i really care to count

[Jnzk]

I admit, the current video I'm working on has two.

[AMV_4000]

well winmorph is the only transition i've ever used when i was trying to be serious.. meaning not a starwipe video... so i think i used winmorph like 22 times in Atencion my KOS 04 video

[OropherZero]

i use many many cross dissolves, and i have started to use additive dissolve... need to stay away from it <_>

Zarz obviously uses regular premiere (or worse... something totally different). But in premiere pro they actually make canned transitions (at least the non-starshade ones) respectable. You can play with the start/ stop/ duration much like if you just did it manually.

I used to do everything manually back in plain premiere as well. But now I've seen the light! Seriously, I HIGHLY suggest pro just for this fact. Crossfades and special effects are MUCH easier (once you get the hang of not using rubber bands), not to mention there are ACTUALLY audio editing tools built in. I find it MUCH easier to use (yet not more robust... but I typically don't do much more to the audio than the normal gains and stuff... I mean I'm sure Audacity and other audio programs can do high/ low pass filtering much better, I just don't know how and prefer Premiere Pro's), in fact Premiere back in the day seems to have given me this phobia with vidfx. In Prem Pro it's a wonder I even touch the stuff... AE is another issue all together.

Anyway it is truly sad how you elite are so biased against fx let alone PremPro. So many noobs get so confused with Prem and run to Vegas just cuz you curmudgeons can't give Pro a chance. It's a whole new animal and MUCH improved. Especially now, with Dual Core processors, 512mb+ ram, 100gb+ hds quickly becoming the norm. Win9x is YESTERDAYS news, even MS knows that.

Seems to me like a flaw of your program. If I use the dissolve-transition, I have the same control as if I do it manually with the transparency effect.

The largest number of different transitions I ever used were 5. One from the NLE, 3 from the Adorage package and one self created. But I'm not sure if that AMV counts as standard, since your definition is very vague.
