Top 3 Transitions in Instagram Edits (and what to avoid)
There are 48 transitions in the Instagram Edits app.
Lets look at the most popular, easy to use and efftive transations and many of them you should probably steer clear of.
In this video I'm showing you the 3 transitions that
will actually make your content look better plus
the ones to avoid and exactly why they make your
Reels look amateur.
In this video I'm covering:
✦ Dissolve / Fade
The most versatile transition in the app works on everything, feels cinematic without being showy
✦ Zoom / Punch In
Draws the eye, creates momentum, hugely popular on Reels right now for good reason
✦ Transitions to Avoid
Light wipe, Datamosh, Swirl, Clock wipe, Checkboard
Why these make your content look like a 2009 PowerPoint presentation
✦ Pan Down / Slide Up
Clean, directional, works brilliantly with vertical content the transition most people overlook
