WHAT I DID TODAY:
Today I completed adding in all my transitions. They were super simple fade transitions but it actually took longer than I expected as it's my first time using such complex software. (especially with all the key-frames I'm still trying to master it/get used to it)
It may seem as if I didn't put a lot of effort into the transitions as it may look kind of plain (and it's literally only one type, but surprisingly it took very long, and I feel as if this was a good first edit choice to introduce me to the basics.

AFTER EDIT:
In the before edit, you can see that only half of the transitions were imputed, but today the after edit contains all the transitions.

WHAT I LEARNED:
Continuing from the last post, I talked about how I learned about keyframes and their jobs. Today I learned a shortcut that helped me a lot because without I'd be kind of confused.
- It is the 'U' key. All it does is basically let me see all the keyframes that I've created/made. Before when I added keyframes then exited, I couldn't find where the keyframes were and transitions just happened randomly, but when I found out about this shortcut, it saved me a lot of time.
- The second thing I learned was that there was an automated button that lets the editor adjust the clip automatically to the composition size.
For example, when I added in videos sometimes, it would be smaller than the composition itself, leaving black borders because the video wasn't big enough to fit. But when I right click on preview video > transform > fit to comp height, it just transforms the video to perfect size.

WHAT I WILL BE DOING TOMORROW / NEXT TIME:
Next time I will start adding text. My goal is to kind of make a lyric video, it's not exactly a lyric video but in simpler terms, you can think of it that way.
