    Not quite sure which transition you are talking about. There is a lot going on there, the real key is not to try to figure out what they did to create the effect, but study what is actually happening and think of how you would create the effect.

    For example one transition I see is what looks like the image is kind of spinning to another image. I would do this by spinning the layer in 3d space on the Y axis, turn on the motion blur for the layer, then use the posterize time effect, which will give you the multiple image look.

    just remember, it isn’t about how they did it, it’s how you would do it. many effects can be created multiple ways, you just need to find one that works for you.

    My two cents …

    Although there’s nothing there AE can’t do, my guess is that was done by one of the many automated photo montage applications on the consumer software market these days since it would be relatively time-consuming to do in AE, which wouldn’t make much sense considering the likely non-profit purpose … in my humble opinion, using AE for a personal-use photo montage seems like using a sledgehammer to drive a nail … unless one is doing it as a means to practice AE or just has way too much free time.

    Some photo montage software has bunches of pre-made transitions that you just drop a bunch of photos into and press go, so to speak … depending on your needs, you might Google to find one.
