Learn here step-by-step how to apply the transitions from the pack Fractured Glitch transitions between your two footage in Adobe After Effects using blending modes and track mattes.
Step 1: Set Up Your Footage
Create a new composition with your two clips.
- Place Footage A (the first clip) on the top layer.
- Place Footage B (the second clip) on the bottom layer.
Step 2: Apply Fractured Glitch Transition A
1. Drag and drop the Fractured Glitch Transition A from your asset pack onto the timeline.
You can find the transition with the name similar to: 03_A_FG_TRANSITIONS
2. Place Transition A above Footage A in your timeline.
3. Split Footage A at the point where you want the transition to begin.
Press Ctrl+Shift+D or Command+Shift+D
4. Select the Footage A2 (after the split), and set the Blending Mode to Add
If you don't see the blending modes, toggle the switches/modes icon at the bottom of the timeline.
Step 3: Apply Fractured Glitch Transition B
1. Place Fractured Glitch Transition B below the second part of Footage A (underneath on the timeline).
2. In the Track Matte drop-down menu for the Footage A2, select Alpha Matte for Transition B.
This will make Footage B reveal itself based on Transition B's alpha.
Step 4: Duplicate Transition B
Duplicate Transition B and place it above Footage B.
Press Ctrl+D or Command+D
And that’s it! You’ve successfully applied a Fractured Glitch transition in After Effects. Play around with different transitions in the pack to get the desired broken glass effect for your edit.
