    Hiya, hoping siomeone can help, I’m wanting to create a whip pan effect. I kind of presume that I will have to keyframe a motion blur at the tail end of the first clip and at the top end of the second and then put a fast push transition inbetween, I’m hoping for the best possible results as allways, so can anyone please help. I dont normally use these types of effects, because I edit news, but I have a hankering for trying to make a couple of the stories a bit more extravagant I’m using express pro at home but newscutters and adrenalins at work, although I presume that the solution will be the same across the board. Any help is much appreciated!

    On V1 use a push effect between 2 clips, on v2 add a horizontal blur on a segment of filler keyframing 0 > 100 > 0 (%). I usually make the blur exceed the length of the transion by a frame or two either end.

    You don’t mention what system you have or plugins so I can’t say exactly what effects to use…

    Thanks Paul, I tried that today, and it works just fine, I use express pro at home, and adrenalin and newscutters at work. The only problem that i seem to get is that in the pushes there seems to be a thin black border, this is not part of the effect, as we were able to add a proper border too, it seems that when ingesting from SX tape we always get these lines when pushing horizontally, but not when pushing vertically.

    Toby,

    That is your analogue blanking you are seeing. It’s quite normal.

    To get rid of it place a DVE on each clip either side of the transition and set the scale so that the line blanking is removed (look in you record viewer – not the external monitor.

    Thanks very much for your help Paul, I’ll give that a go today, I knew it had to be something to do with ingesting analogue, because I dont get the problem when using P2 camera cards. Thanks again.
