Fancy Blur Effect…anyone?
Hey Premiere Gurus,
I would like to make a transitional edit between two clips using a fancy blur effect (somewhat like a wipe transition) and i was wondering what the best preset would be to use and at what settings (i’m on premiere pro 2.0). also, are there any tricks of the trade anyone can suggest, like overlaying a layer on top of another, etc. and if any of you could point me to a free online tutorial that would also be really cool!
thanks amigos. cheers!

There are as many ways to do that as there are people to try it.
Start with a Fast Blur and just the horizontal blur perhaps. It is difficult to understand what you mean by “overlaying a layer on top of another”. Do you mean you want to dissolve, not blur? Or both at the same time?

steven, thanks for responding to my post, but you are absolutely right, it’s all about trial and error. in essence i just wanted to know how some people create a blur between two clips to make the blur effect look like a transitional cut.
for example, i ended up using a fast blur effect and continued its motion between the cut point with key frames, then placed a small transition in between that edit point and it turned out to be fantastic!
and by overlaying video clips, i just meant placing one clip on track 1 and another on track 2 and then fooling around with their opacities.
cheers mate,
