The first shot splits and swings open like double doors as the next shot comes forward
- Install:
npm install gl-transitions - Registry: gl-transitions · Framework: glsl · License: MIT
- Docs and preview: https://gl-transitions.com/editor/Doorway
- Source: https://github.com/gl-transitions/gl-transitions/blob/master/transitions/Doorway.glsl
- Example: https://skills.varg.ai/previews/lib-gl-transitions-doorway.mp4?v=55830 (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 "Doorway" transition from GL Transitions (by gre, MIT; https://gl-transitions.com/editor/Doorway, GLSL source https://github.com/gl-transitions/gl-transitions/blob/master/transitions/Doorway.glsl) into a reveal: a new room, the product, the result: 1.2 s, ease-in-out. The incoming shot grows from the gap between the doors. Remotion: npm install gl-transitions @gl-transitions/remotion @remotion/transitions, then a <TransitionSeries.Transition> with presentation={glTransition({ name: "Doorway", params: { reflection: 0.4, perspective: 0.4, depth: 3.0 } })} 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. perspective (0.4) and depth (3.0) shape the doors, reflection (0.4) the floor mirror. Where the shader draws no image it returns transparent pixels, which encode as black: put a backdrop color or a blurred copy of the frame under the canvas.
