Can I use it as an overlay instead of a cut?

Yes. Export with a transparent background and the liquid passes over your footage without covering it completely.

How long should it run?

Between half a second and one and a half seconds. Longer starts to read as a scene of its own.

Liquid transitions: ink, drips and waves between scenes

Updated September 18, 20263 min read

What is a liquid transition?

A liquid transition uses organic motion, ink spreading, paint dripping or a wave rising, to cover the frame and reveal the next shot. It suits lifestyle, beauty and craft content where a hard geometric wipe would feel too technical.

Ink moves in a way geometry cannot fake. These presets spread, drip, splash and merge, and because the color is yours, the same motion can feel like coffee, paint or the sea.

Five liquid transitions presets to start from

Hover any card to play it. Opening one loads it in the editor with every control unlocked.

Ink Spread
1.5s
Organic ink blooms outward with wobbling edges and flying droplets, then opens into the next scene.
Wave Rise
1.5s
Layered liquid waves roll up from the bottom, wash over the frame and continue off the top.
Paint Drip
1.5s
Thick paint drips run down to flood the screen, then the whole mass slides away to reveal the next shot.
Splash Burst
1s
A spiky liquid splash explodes from the center with flying droplets, covering the cut with pure energy.
Bubble Merge
1.5s
Colorful bubbles pop up everywhere and merge into a solid wall, then burst away in a new random order.

How to make one in the browser

01Open a liquid transitions presetBrowse the Liquid Transitions category and open the preset closest to what you need. It loads in the editor with every control unlocked.
02Make it yoursRewrite the text, set your brand colors and font, adjust easing and duration, and switch the aspect ratio for the platform you are posting to.
03Export the clipChoose MP4 for a normal track or transparent WebM for an overlay, pick a resolution up to 8K, and the file renders on your own machine.

Which format should you export?

Use MP4 when the clip sits on its own track or fills the frame. Use transparent WebM whenever it has to float over your own footage: the alpha channel is real, so no keying or blend mode is needed.

Format: MP4 H.264 · WebM VP9
Alpha: Transparent WebM
Resolution: 720p to 8K
Aspect: 16:9 · 9:16 · 1:1 · 4:5

Three tips that make it look intentional

Match the liquid color to something already in the outgoing shot.
Let the cover fully fill the frame before the next shot starts underneath.
Slower easing suits ink; faster suits splash.

Brush Stroke Animations
Brush strokes: handmade texture for titles and reveals
Pick a brush preset and set the stroke color, width and speed. The stroke draws itself along a path and can wipe the frame, highlight a word or splatter behind a title. Export transparent WebM to keep the paper texture over your own footage.
