I agree...I avoid using all transitions except for the fade in, fade out and pretty much all fading ones.
other creative transitions are cool other then fading like if a wall got destroyed and you could make a piece fly at the camera and use that for a transition

That is very true...

Just don't use the default settings at all. This means, no Ken Burns effect, none of that obnoxious fade in fade out title with a black stroke around the white text. None of those stupid pre-made trailers that come with iMovie 11.

I've always tried to keep to this type of thinking when editing. Thanks for making light of this.

All advice should be taken with an open mind, also none of it is obviously 100% true all the time. George Lucas used some crazy transitions to give Star Wars a retro feel, like Flash Gordonand other '30s serials. (One of the few things he dun right)

So yeah there is a time and place for everything, but were all speaking from experience (and opinion). Yes, even comic sans ms has a place in the universe. It's very small though
