Step 4: Create a Ramp In and Out of the Effect There’s still a lot more that you can do with this, but the structural elements of the effect are mostly complete. Your effect should start to take shape by this point. This will allow you to move the mouse a lot while the parameter makes subtle changes. If you need to make very fine changes, hold Control or Command while clicking and dragging this parameter.Try to line it up at the end so that it’s perfectly flush with the edge. Take the Y axis control and move it so that it makes about two complete cycles. With this keyframe, you’ll want to move the Offset center parameter.Go all the way to when you want the transition to end on the other side of the cut and make a second keyframe.Reset everything, and set a keyframe a bit before the cut point where you want the transition to start.Step 3: Add Keyframes to the Offset EffectĪt this point, add keyframes to the offset effect in order to put the last major piece together for the overall film roll effect. You can see that it starts to repeat like the footage is now on a long film strip. Go to the second parameter, which controls the vertical Y axis movement.

You should see the Offset capability here.

To start, drag two pieces of footage onto your timeline. Steps to Create a Film Roll Transition Step 1: Add Footage to the Timeline
