I want to edit a video with a specific "early youtube" aesthetic. I want some dumb transitions that you'd only get from "FreeVideoMaker Dotcom" or something like that, stuff that's like

  • Zoom out of clip A. clip A is a photo in a pre-rendered 3d animated photo album. Pages turn and clip b is a photo in another page of the album. Zoom into clip B.

  • Clip A is one side of a cube, the cube gets rolled around like a dice and clip B is another side of the cube

and so on... really dumb flashy stuff. Where can I find transitions like this, especially with early YouTube vibes? I'm willing to use the exact same software that people were using for these back in the day, and I can also hear any tricks people have to get these dumb transitions in a modern video editor (i use davinci resolve)

(I believe this post is appropriate for this sub but could you recommend a different sub to post to if this isn't the right one?)

  • Yeah, that stuff was very often not done in a video editor, but in a DVE system for live television setups (or live to tape setups in a studio). These were gizmos like the Globecaster. Really complicated stuff that takes up like 8U of rack space, composed of like a dozen cards in a chassis being fed SDI.

    You'd need to replicate them in something like Fusion or After Effects these days, and you'd need to find the original transitions to start developing your comps from.
