🎬 How to do it:

  • Apply “Rotate” from the Transition list.
  • Choose Clockwise or Counter-clockwise.
  • Add a blur effect or use motion blur for smoother results.

✅ Pro Tip: Add a camera shake effect right after for extra energy.

  • Adjust opacity and blend for smoother impact.

✅ Why it works: Eye-catching and perfect for building anticipation.

  • Adjust speed based on your music’s tempo.

✅ Smooth & clean, especially great for vlogs and travel videos.

5. Blur Zoom (Motion Blur Transition)

📍 When to use: High-speed edits or energetic montages.

🎬 How to do it:
