I have to admit I did a wedding video for a friend and included every transitions there was, I think there was about 25 in all. I thought I had created a master peace and sat there all big headed through the video thinking I had achieved something great. When the video finished I sat there all smug waiting for an applause, but it never came. What did come however was a whole load of ridicule about going over the top and what not and why did I have to go overboard on the transitions. That was my lesson learned and I don't think I have included a single transition in another movie.
