The frame is flung into hypnotic concentric bands along a parametric curve, then settles on the next
- Install:
npm install gl-transitions - Registry: gl-transitions · Framework: glsl · License: MIT
- Docs and preview: https://gl-transitions.com/editor/CrazyParametricFun
- Source: https://github.com/gl-transitions/gl-transitions/blob/master/transitions/CrazyParametricFun.glsl
- Example: https://skills.varg.ai/previews/lib-gl-transitions-crazy-parametric-fun.mp4?v=134981 (Rendered by varg from the library’s own code (GL Transitions · rendered by varg))
- Time: Seek-safe. Time is an input, so frame N always renders the same. Drop it into a render as it is.
- Runs: local render, free
- Aspect: any
Prompt that renders it frame-exact
Add the "CrazyParametricFun" transition from GL Transitions (by mandubian, MIT; https://gl-transitions.com/editor/CrazyParametricFun, GLSL source https://github.com/gl-transitions/gl-transitions/blob/master/transitions/CrazyParametricFun.glsl) on the drop of a music edit: 1.2 s, ease-in-out. It is loud: use it once per video. Remotion: npm install gl-transitions @gl-transitions/remotion @remotion/transitions, then a <TransitionSeries.Transition> with presentation={glTransition({ name: "CrazyParametricFun", params: { a: 4, b: 1, amplitude: 120, smoothness: 0.1 } })} and timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 36, easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.cubic) })} (36 frames at 30 fps). HyperFrames: draw the GLSL on a full-frame WebGL canvas over the cut, with the outgoing and incoming frames as the from/to textures, and compute progress from the composition time, clamp((t − cutStart) / 1.2, 0, 1) through the easing; never from requestAnimationFrame or a timer, so every frame renders the same. ffmpeg's xfade can't run GLSL. a (4) and b (1) shape the curve, amplitude (120) its reach and smoothness (0.1) the blend.
