# New: Clip Transitions, Custom Video Intros, and More

**April 9, 2026**

## Clip Transitions

You can now add smooth transitions between clips on your timeline. Right-click any clip and choose **Add Transition** to get started.

We've included 8 transition types to choose from:

- **Crossfade** — A clean, natural dissolve between clips
- **Dip to Black / Dip to White** — Fade through a solid color for a dramatic beat
- **Blur Dissolve** — A soft, dreamy blend with a gentle blur at the midpoint
- **Zoom Dissolve** — The outgoing clip zooms in slightly as it fades away
- **Slide Left / Slide Right** — Clips slide on and off screen
- **Push** — The new clip pushes the old one off the edge

Click the yellow diamond badge between clips to adjust the transition type and duration at any time. Transitions default to 1 second but can go from 0.1s up to 10s.

Both the preview and the exported video show the transition effect — preview uses real-time SwiftUI rendering, and export uses GPU-accelerated Metal shaders for perfectly smooth results.

## Custom Video Intros and Outros

You're no longer limited to the built-in animated templates for your intros and outros. You can now use **any video file** — your branded intro animation, an animated logo, a custom ending screen, or anything else.

Just open the intro/outro editor, click **Use Custom Video**, and select a .mov or .mp4 file. The duration is set automatically, and the video plays right in the preview panel. Remove it anytime to go back to the animated template.

## Intro and Outro Transitions

The handoff between your intro and the main recording can now be smooth instead of a hard cut. In the intro/outro editor, choose a transition type and set the duration — the intro will gradually blend into your recording using the selected effect.

This works with both animated templates and custom video intros. Crossfade at 20–30% is a great starting point.
