What type(s) of transition(s) are you specifically looking for?[/quote]

I totally agree with you.  I actually made a conscious decision in my Lego series to restrict all my transitions to the cut, the dissolve/fade, and on special occassions, a linear wipe.

The transitions I'm looking for are for a non-Lego project for a slide-show type video accompanying one of my new songs.  Here is a video on Youtube that uses the type of effects I'd like to achieve:

By the way, this girl is an AWESOME trumpet player!  Enjoy her song.  Fun fact: one of the characters, played by my friend, Mike, will be humming the chorus to this song in Holding Our Own: episode 2.]]></content>

[/quote]

I'd agree with this.

Though, a simple fade transition is also nice at times, as is a fade to black.

The fanciest transition I do is making the edges get darker when I fade to black (as can be seen in just about every film I made last year).

A lot of people sometimes use really goofy over the top transitions which look absolutely awful in any context.
For some reason, a lot of editing softwares are just jammed with those sorts of transitions. I have no idea why they do that.

The only sort of unusual transitions that I like are the type used in Star Wars and perhaps a few others.[/quote]


I agree. Especially those WMM video productions... (shivers)]]></content>
