This example shows how to automatically apply transitions to video clips.

Check out the outcome in result.mp4.

Upload the script directory to a Video Puppet project. The main script file is source.md.

To set transitions between scenes for the whole video, add the transition property in the script header. The following header will set a half-second wipe transition between the scenes.

---
size: 720p
transition:
  type: wipe
  duration: 0.5
---

You can also use a shortcut with the transition name and duration in a single line. For example, the following header will set a two second crossfade transition:

---
size: 720p
transition: crossfade 2
---

To set a transition for an individual scene, add it using the transition stage direction

(transition: crossfade 2)

Note that the transition property combines the previous scene with the current scene, so any transition on the first scene is ignored.

• crossfade: fade the last frame of the scene into the first frame of the next scene
• wipe: horizontal overlay from the left
