Effects...
I've been piddling with transition filters in what I think is a unique way of using them. If you have a blue screen or some extra room to set up a blue/green screen studio for chroma-keying, then here's a couple of suggestions that could very well lead you down new avenues of special effects using only the transition filters supplied with Media Studio or any other video editing suite that has transitions and chroma-key features.
If you film something in front of a blue or green screen, capture it and place it on your "VIDEO A" timeline. If you have some software that allows you to get "exact" RGB values of the blue or green surrounding the object you filmed, then place a clip of that color on the "VIDEO B" timeline.
Select a particle dissolve transition between the two clips and watch the object dissolve on a monochromatic background. Then take that rendered video and chroma-key it onto any video bakground and you'll have things that burst into particles...
A bit more advanced effect I've dreamed up involves blue translucent plastic in front of an actor. Film them ripping through it.
Chroma-key the blue plastic scene over an existing scene with some extra glow effects and watch someone rip a hole in "reality"; stepping into the new environment.
You can also place blue dots on people, creating holes, and then re-film the area that they were in without having moved the camera. It'll give the illusion that you're really seeing through them.
A lot more can be done with the blue translucent plastic idea but my fingers are tired...
