First let me clear something out : there's no difference between fading out a white frame using the red rubberbands or a dissolve transition.

2) Here's a 5s clip showing the flashes I have to put almost all long the video. I'll keep the second one (the flash which fades out like a wave) but I want to make something else for the first one (which is just a faded white frame) -- done, see #6.

3) I can't use clips instead of flashes because it's already done further in the vid but it needs something more (a flash).

4) Don't tell me about red or green frame flashes :lol:.

5) Thanks for the lens flare idea. Doesn't really fit the first flash I want to change but I used it for another part of my AMV.

6) Thanks a lot to OmniStrata ^_^. The level effect set to 0->255 over three frames looks quite like a white frame fading out but with a little something more... I'll use that.

7) Here's a part of my vid using both white frame and level flashes. The first serie of flashes uses white frames and the second one level effect. Tell me which you prefer.
I like level flashes more because a white frame is already used for the lady-in-the-red-ball clip (I can't use level effect there because I made the scene black&white).

i've seen red, blue and black frame flashes. all of them looked pretty good. but it all depends on the video idea. and i still need to learn how to use rubberbands. :oops:

Sure, there's absolutely no rules in AMV making but a colored flash really wouldn't fit my vid at all ^_^.

I think I'll go on with OmniStrata's idea.

Uhm, I'd agree with you if you said cross dissolve ... but the additive dissolve transition (that I mentioned) actually works differently... especially in scenes with lots of contrasting bright and dark sections. Such as in my Fate video, where the candles sitting next to Dilandau in one of the flashes appear much much brighter than they would from your average cross dissolve/rubberband transition.

At least try it so you see what it's like. It does produce a different effect than the rubberbands. 8)

Indeed, looks like more the level effect mentionned by Omni (which is way easier to use).

I find the traditional long raincoat to be pretty good, but you could go for the more stylish Matrix-style leather jacket.
