VLFilm transitions

Applies to 0.11Updated 6 Nov 20262 min read

26 VLFilm transitions with smooth eased moves, motion blur and mirrored edges, in four groups: Move, Light, Distort and Wipe & Reveal. A Pro feature.

Find them in the Effects panel › Video Transitions › VLFilm. Inside the folder the names drop the word "VLFilm"; searching "VLFilm" still finds them all. Drag one onto a cut, like any transition, and set it in Effect Controls. VLFilm is part of Pro (Pro tools and the PRO badge).

The four groups

• Move: Push (8 directions), Slide In, Slide Out, Split, Film Strip, Whip, Zoom, Spin, Roll, Stretch and Pop.
• Light: Light Sweep, Flash, Glow Through, Light Stripes, Light Rays and Blur to Color, in Warm White, White, Amber, Gold, Red, Teal or Blue.
• Distort: Glitch, Earthquake, Kaleidoscope, Wave, Directional Blur and Mosaic.
• Wipe & Reveal: Ink Reveal, Linear Wipe (angle, feather, a coloured stroke and glow) and Louver.

How the moves feel

• Easing: Ease In-Out, Ease Out, Ease In, Linear, Overshoot, Bounce or Anticipate, with Easing Strength.
• Motion Blur: stronger where the move is fastest.
• Edges: Mirror, Repeat or Transparent, for what shows past a moved picture, so a push never shows an empty corner.

Light transitions always start and end dark, so the cut stays clean however long you make them.
