Color Flash transition

[Jeremy Garchow]

Graeme nattress has a film flash dissolve that works pretty good. http://www.nattress.com

Eureka used to have a free transition called vapor across, but it really kinda sucked.

The other thing you can do is use a combo of a blur filter and a levels filter. This way you can control the amount of blur, and the amount of bloom in your whites so that you stay within broadcast spec. You have to do some keyframing on both the outgoing and incoming clip, but you have the most control this way.

Have you tried merely using an additive dissolve?

A more complex technique could be:

Try duplicating the layers involved in the transition onto a new track, trim to near each side of the point of the intended transition (10 frames or so). Change the composite mode of each duplicate layer (on new track) to “Overlay” and 3-Way color corrector with whites/mids on full bright, at the moment and duration you want. Fade from Scene “A” clip from the original track (normal mode) to Scene “A” (Overlay mode) in the next track up, then use an additive dissolve from that clip to Scene “B” clip on new track (Overlay mode), then fade to Scene “B” (normal mode) on the original track. You would also need to do an additive dissolove (simultaneously with the additive dissolve on the new track) on your two scenes on the original track. Tweak to taste.

This could get you going in the right direction.
