<p>I've been looking everywhere to try to figure this out. I am trying to figure out how to make a video transition where the background changes before everything else. Is this just done with a mask? </p>

Yes. It's a very fast transition so depending on the footage you can also try using a *luma key* or some kind of color key for a rough matte. Your favorite software package is?
