Hello. I have some portrait videos which I'd like to edit into a landscape video. I don't want to have two black columns on the sides of the video, so I looked on the internet and then found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUI14Ey-yrI This video is bit old but it works well.
I have two identical clips in the timeline: a normal one and a stretched background one as shown in the video. But now I want to do a transition. I would normally use the Wipe composition with the lower right corner of the clip but I have four clips I want to transition: the two main ones and two background blurred stretched ones. My questions are: is there any better way to do the things described in the video? I have a lot of portrait videos. Do I have to add each one twice and the apply the same effects to the second video every time? I'd like this to be done for every clip there is. I could apply the effect to the entire timeline and then just add each video twice: once in a normal track and once in the track with effects.
If this is the solution: how can I make a transition? A composition can be between two tracks, not between four.

Yeah! 2018... A good year... pre pandemic

Now we have the Pillar Echo, it makes everything for you in just one effect and you can make your transition normally.

Now I'll make your job even easier: just double-click on the junction of two clips on the same track and a transition will be added:)
