In this free Adobe After Effects tutorial we’ll be looking at an industry standard exit transition where the last vignette is engulfed in light then the light scales down to nothingness with a tiny glint of light at the end, almost like turning off a monitor.

Note: I forgot to mention in the video that I’m using 32 bits per channel. In the project panel at the bottom you should see “8 bpc” if you opt/alt click on that twice it will change it to “32 bpc”. Or you can click that 8 bpc text and it will open a dialogue. From the “Depth” drop down menu located under the “Color” section, choose 32 bits per channel.

    Very Nice tutorial! Tks very much.
    I see that you’re also using blender. Do you have any good tutorials on how to combine Blender and after effect, to make amazing videos? I like the way you’re doing your tutorials.
