Paper-cut Transitions Vol. 2

Paper-cut Transitions Vol. 2 is a set of 16 paper-cut clips, 13 video transitions and 3 title cards, made from layered cut paper. Eleven of the transitions follow three folk traditions: papel picado, the perforated tissue banners of Mexico; jianzhi, the red paper cuts of China, with window flowers, a lattice, a round fan and cloud scrolls; and Scherenschnitte, the black silhouette cuts of Germany and Switzerland, with hearts, vines and pine forests. Two more are clean paper wipes, one with a pinked edge and one an iris. Wipes and blooms grow or slide across the whole frame, hold fully covered for a few frames, then clear, so they hide the cut between two shots. Transitions run 1.3 to 1.6 seconds at 30 fps, and every file has a transparent background, so you drop one above your cut and it just works.

The three title cards land, hold an empty centre for two seconds for your own title, and leave. Each clip comes as 12 bit ProRes 4444 with alpha, VP9 WebM with alpha and a luma matte MP4, and the best 8 transitions also come at 60 fps and as 1080 x 1920 vertical for phones and stories. A README gives the timing of every clip, how to use them in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro, and the colour list.
