History Channel Transition

[Juan Salvo]

The saphire plugs have a couple that work for this. But you might be happy with the MUCH cheaper CGM filters, specifically one called Luma Color Dissole.

Is there a stock effect in FCP that come close to this look?

Thanks.

Try doing a non-additive dissolve to a white field, that sometimes gets the desired effect.

Kevin,

Beware!!! That transition has quickly become the most overused effect on television. Its everywhere now, not just on the History Channel. So, use it at your own peril, as it become kind of a joke in the industry.

I USED to use that transition. On a History Channel show called THE NUCLEAR FOOTBALL. And on a few VH1 shows and a couple Discovery shows. When it was new and COOL! It is a Sapphire plugin, as was mentioned. A Glow transition. But yeah, it has quickly become overused.

Just Joes Filters has one called Chroma Glow…it is a filter, but if you keyframe it it will do the same thing.

Right up there with geometric wipes on the old GVG switchers… so seventies!

Yeah everyone and their brother has used the crap out of this transition.

You can do it in after effects by adding the glow effect and key framing the intensity up or down.
