• Finger snapping

One of the easiest transitions is the finger-snapping transition. In this one, one just snaps a finger, and at a later moment, one’s outfit changes.

To get started with it, stand in front of the camera with a different shirt ready at the back. Then start the transition by pressing on the “+” icon.

Hold the fingers in front of the camera and snap. Later after the timer is done, change the outfit and come again to start the timer. To edit it, one can see both the videos at the bottom and crop the video right till the snap and merge them together.

• The hand swipe

Another easy transition that can perform is the hand swipe. In this, one swipes a hand over the camera and swipes it again to show that one has vanished from the screen.

To do this, first, one has to stand in front of the camera and press the “+” icon. Go to transitions and start the timer. Make the timing perfect and cover the whole camera with the hand when the timer stops. Now don’t remove the hand but move away from the spot once one was standing on.

Press the record again and slowly removes the hand of the camera to show an empty space.

• The hoodie

The last one is the hoodie transition. It is one of the favorites among beginners. In this, one is wearing a hoodie in front of the camera and closes the hoodie in front to show it has been removed.

To get started, one can press over the “+” and stand in front of the camera wearing a hoodie. Later on, start to record and slowly bring the hooding in front, covering one’s entire face. Hit stop right after one’s face is covered and remove the hoodie off.

Hold the hoodie back in the face covering position and start the recording again. When the recording starts, throw the hoodie in front, showing the hoodie has been removed in the transition.
