How to Use the Jump To Element in Cinema8
Creating Seamless Transitions Between Video Moments
The Jump To element allows you to set your video to automatically skip to a specific point within the current video or even jump to a different video at a particular second. Simply drag and drop the element to the desired spot in your video timeline, and when the video reaches that point, it will jump to the specified second.
Let's go over the steps for setting up and configuring the Jump To element:
1. First, drag the Jump To element from the Elements list onto the timeline. A setup screen will appear where you can choose to set the jump within the current video project or specify a time in a different project.
Options for Jumping Points:
- Within the Project - Choose this option if you want the jump to stay within the current video project.
- Jump Time - Specify the exact second where the jump should land within the project.
- To Another Project - Select this option if you want to jump to a different project.
Additional Jump To Settings
- Project Selection - Choose the project you want to jump to if using the "To Another Project" option.
- Jump Time - Enter the exact time within the target video where the jump will land.
- Save Settings - Click the save button to finalize the Jump To settings.
Once the Jump To element is added, it will appear as shown below in the timeline layer.
