No matter how cool the effect is, if it's not motivated and if it doesn’t make sense for your story, it will just stand out in a jarring way and break up the flow and you don’t want that.

And you can totally play with those kinds of transitions and I will leave a link for you for my favorite pack of seamless transitions for you in the description but the type of transitions we will talk about in this first tip are a bit different and more cinematic in my opinion since they are a bit more subtle and real, and you don’t need to buy anything extra for it.
