Fast zoom out transition technique.
I need to create that fast zoom out transition. What’s the best technique for doing this effectively?
I can only think of doing this with a radial blur but it never looks quite as good as it should. Zooming out then into something else looks ok the way I’m doing it but zooming out of one shot to reveal another shot, doesn’t. Are there any other methods to doing this effect? I thought of maybe using a mask of a tunnel but am worried that it may end up looking more like a wipe rather than a zoom.
Could someone here give me some pointers in how to get this effect to look its best please?

If you have Trapcode’s Shine, then there’s a tutorial on this page that might get you the look you’re going for.

Had a look at it, it’s the right effect except that zoom is zooming in. I was
looking for a zoom out.I know it’s essentially the same thing in reverse except to do that zoooming out I’d guess I’d have to start the shot scaled up to begin with which is something I don’t want to do.
I want to be able to have the same look as that shine effect example except for the shot to zoom out and reveal a new shot, then to zoom out again and reveal another new shot and so on, hopefully without having to scale footage.
Is what I’m trying to do even possible? Maybe with some kind of mask or something?

It seems straight forward enough to me. Put you first shot on, make it shrink until it disappears, put you next shot below it and parent it to the first shot. Repeat. Am I missing anything?
You will have some resolution problems unless you optically zoomed duing the shoot. Is that why you don’t want to “scale footage?” I’ve done similar things with still images by zooming in with the camera, breaking the footage into a few images, and then layering them ontop of one another. This wouldn’t work with moving images, so you’ll need to get the timing on the zoom right while shooting.

Actually that seems to be what I’m looking for!
Just to make sure I’m doing this right could I ask you something please?
For this to work the scale of the second and third shots need to be somewhere around 5000% does this sound about right? And all I need to do is add a blur or a light zoom effect to make it look like a cool zoom out?

I maybe had that backwards. Start with the largest image, zoom in on where you want the enclosed image, place it, parent it, repeat. That way, you can line up the two images a lot better.
