What Are Video Transitions?
You might be wondering what exactly these assets are. To put it plainly, they’re animated shapes, characters, or images that act as a way to bridge two clips on your timeline together. So, it’s a fun way to “transition” from one shot to the other.
This can be as simple as dragging and dropping one of these transitions over the two clips on your timeline. These types of transitions work nicely for corporate videos, YouTube videos, event recaps, or even documentaries.
Not only do they give off a fun, energetic energy to the pacing, they’ll make your work appear more professional, adding further legitimacy to the final product.
Okay, so let’s look at some free transition packs.
13 Customizable FREE Transitions
This was one of PremiumBeat‘s latest stellar free packs from the beloved “free week.” These transitions are both fun and colorful, yet retro and textured enough to give you multiple types of looks to fit whatever type of project you’re working on.
The process of applying these effects to your footage is as simple as it gets. But, in case you need a guide on what to expect, check out this walk-through tutorial.
FREE Hand-Drawn Backgrounds
Okay, I know this isn’t a traditional “transition” pack, but you can use a lot of the assets within this pack to transition from one shot to the next. I kind of look at these fun, organic-looking effects as a way to play with your video in any way possible.
So, throw some of these over your footage, or over one of the other transitions from this list, and you might get a completely original transition built up by several assets. Plus, it’s FREE—who doesn’t love free stuff!
Here’s a tutorial for this pack.
15 FREE Premiere Pro Textured Transitions
This pack of .mogrt files are simple drag-and-drop solutions to getting out of creating your own transitions in the middle of your edit. They’re also easily customizable, allowing you to change the amount of texture and color.
These transitions feature several styles and looks, such as:
- Scribbled pencil
- Torn paper
- Wiggly zebra stripes
- Standard wipes
- Paper textured wipes
18 FREE Animated Gritty Textures
If you’re looking for more of a “grunge” look, check out PremiumBeat’s all-time classic eighteen FREE animated gritty textures. These can also be used as a transitional clip, taking your audience from one scene to another. It’s kind of crazy these are free.
16 FREE Circle Transitions
This pack of transitions from PremiumBeat includes sixteen different circle wipes and spins. I tend to use shape transitions primarily in upbeat product videos. They make for a quick way to cut between shots of the product itself and shots of it in use.
So, what style of transitions are these?
- Different speeds and directions of circle radial wipes
- Layered circle drop
- Circles swiping across the screen
Just place one of these transitions above your two clips in the Premiere Pro timeline, add a Track Matte Key, and you’re ready to go.
Ink Splash Transitions
I know the thumbnail above says “Animated Titles,” but within this pack are more than fifty ink splatter transitions. These ink splats look like they’re landing on the screen, taking up however much space you need (you can control the size of the splat). These are a colorful, fun, and clever way to move onto the next sequence or scene.
13 Light Leak Transitions
Light leaks are the ultimate in hip and ethereal looks. These bursts come from all angles and you can control the size and intensity. Make sure to place them in a position on your shot that makes sense, like in the direction of the sun or a bright light source. They’re perfect for any type of colorful transitions—music videos, weddings, and concerts.
