What is a shape transition?
A shape transition is a graphic wipe where a circle, bar or tile grid travels across the frame and hands the shot over to the next one. It hides the cut, carries your brand color and works in any editor once exported as MP4 or transparent WebM.
Hard cuts are honest but flat. A shape wipe gives the edit a beat and lets a brand color lead the eye from one scene to the next. Every preset below is a real animation you can retime, recolor and reframe before you export it.
