Yes, absolutely agree. A lot of the programs seem to compete with one another as to the number of transitional tricks they offer. As you say, a simple fade or cut works best. I have seen really nice vbideos on here that do not even have the clips in chronological order and yet they work. Someone needs to make a list of simple do's and don'ts and other tips and tricks. I have read a lot on here but they are all jumbled up all over the place. Any takers .....?Shrimpfarmer said:.....
If you look at the professionals none of them use all the flashy fades between clips because if you do it tends to scream amateur. A simple fade or a straight cut is what is used the most.
