Studio mode and transitions

The Transition card next to your scenes sets how scenes change:

Transition Looks like
Cut An instant switch.
Fade A crossfade.
Fade to black Out to a colour and back in.
Slide The new scene pushes the old one out.
Swipe The new scene slides in over the old one.
Wipe A soft-edged wipe.
Stinger A video (ideally with transparency) plays over the switch; the scene changes at the point you choose, and its sound plays too.
Custom shader Your own transition written in WGSL.

Each has a duration, and a direction, colour or softness where it makes sense. While a transition runs, sound from both scenes is mixed.

Click Studio mode in the top bar (or press Ctrl+Shift+T). You get two pictures:

  • Preview on the left: edit it and click scenes freely; viewers don’t see it.
  • Program on the right: what’s live.

When the preview is ready, click Transition to send it live with your transition, or Cut / Fade for a quick switch. In the scene list, the live scene is marked LIVE.
