Have you ever wondered if there are custom transitions or overlays for mobile editing apps like CapCut, InShot or Splice? The short answer is: yes. You can add external video transitions and overlays to those apps, in order to make your videos stand out!
Why should I use external transitions and overlays for editing apps?
The art of editing cinematic videos is no longer a pure computer thing. Meanwhile it's unquestionable possible to make high-quality edits just by using the own smartphone. In order to achieve similar results as in desktop editing softwares it might be useful to work with creative transitions, overlays and other effects to stand out. Details matter, that's the reason why small changes like this make the difference between a "normal edit" and a "high-end edit". An example:
Here you can see a shot of an interior. On the left side, a large part of the image simply consists of a blank wall. On the right side, this wall looks much more interesting and visually appealing just by using an overlay. Small changes that make all the difference.
What about the built-in features of my editing application?
Of course, most editing apps have many built-in features for transitions or filters. However, these effects often seem very generic and are used to frequently -therefore, it is difficult to stand out from the multitude of edits. Certain genres and video styles are also not represented at all. So if you want to tell a certain visual story you should consider to use third party effects, which were made exactly for your purpose. Another example:
This is a frame from one of our edits, where we wanted to achieve a special vintage aesthetics. In such a case, it is difficult to find proper built-in transitions, which fit the inteded vibe. So if you're aiming for a specific creative look (e.g. for a product-video, a fashion-video, a real-estate-video, ...), you should definitely go for custom effects.
