Free Video Transition Maker

Make a custom video transition in three steps

Give your next upload a scene change that feels like your channel. This free online video transition maker creates a short overlay you can place between clips. Pick a motion, match your brand colors, and download—no keyframes, plugins, or video uploads needed.

1. Pick your motion

   Browse 137 transitions, from clean wipes and soft fades to pixel effects, comic bursts, VHS glitches, and shattered screens. Preview each one over sample footage with synced sound effects.

2. Make it yours

   Choose one of 22 palettes or use your channel colors. Change the direction and speed, then add a chapter title or logo if you want.

3. Download and drop it into your edit

   Choose MOV for your editing timeline, WebM for OBS, MP4 for chroma key, or a PNG sequence. Export at 4K or Full HD, and align the displayed cut point with your cut.

How to add a transition overlay between two clips

Place your downloaded transition on a video track above both clips. Line up its cut point with the edit between clip A and clip B. For transitions that cover the screen, the cut happens behind the effect while the frame is filled.

The preview uses sample footage to show the scene change. That footage is not included in your download. You get only the transition animation, any text or logo you add, and optional sound effects.

If the animation feels a little fast or slow in your edit, reopen it in My transitions and adjust the intro, hold, or outro. Your settings stay in this browser, so you can tweak and export again.

Find a transition that fits your channel

• YouTube videos and tutorials: keep cuts clean with Color Wipe, Stripes, or Chapter Card. Add your own heading to introduce the next section.
• Gaming highlights and Twitch streams: try RGB Shift, RPG Battle, Target Lock, or Shattered Screen for a punchy scene change.
• Vlogs and travel edits: choose Soft Wipe, Paper Cutout, Watercolor Bloom, or Light Leak for a gentler pace.
• Shorts, TikTok, and Reels: switch to Vertical (9:16), then use a fast wipe, Comic Burst, or Star Spin to move between beats.
• Music videos and cinematic edits: experiment with Film Burn, Bokeh, Smoke, or Marbled Paint. Transparent exports preserve soft edges and glows.
• Seasonal and Japanese-inspired videos: explore Cherry Blossoms, Maple Leaves, Snowflakes, Noren Curtain, and Torn Washi Paper.

The 52 textured effects use paper, fabric, paint, glass, metal, and light. Use the search box or category filters to find a style, then make it your own with custom colors.

Match your brand, with no watermark

Your exports contain no watermark. Save a palette with your channel colors and use it across different motions to build a consistent look for intros, chapter breaks, logo bumpers, and outros.

Add up to 40 characters of text or a PNG, JPG, or WebP logo. The title appears while the transition covers the screen, with the hold automatically extended to fit. Use “CHAPTER 2,” “NEXT UP,” or your channel name to give viewers a clear cue.

Sound effects are already timed to each animation. Keep them for a more energetic cut, adjust their volume under Fine-tune, or turn them off for a silent export. Background music is not included.

Transparent MOV, WebM, green screen MP4, or PNG?

Pick a format for the app you use. Transparent files let your footage show through without removing a background color. MP4 uses a solid background that you can remove with chroma key.

How to remove a green screen in CapCut

1. Download your transition as an MP4 with a green background.
2. Add it as an overlay above the cut between your clips.
3. Use Chroma key to select and remove the green. Adjust the key settings as needed.
4. Align the transition cut point with the cut in your footage.

MP4 does not store transparency. Effects marked “Best with alpha” use soft or partially transparent edges; MOV, WebM, or PNG preserves those edges more cleanly. If your custom colors are close to the key color, the tool may switch the background to blue or magenta.

Create a free OBS stinger transition for Twitch or YouTube

A stinger is a short video that plays over a scene switch. Choose a motion and your stream colors, then select WebM with alpha (OBS) to download a transparent file.

1. In OBS Studio, open Scene Transitions and add a Stinger.
2. Select your downloaded WebM as the video file.
3. Set the transition point type to time in milliseconds, and enter the cut point in ms shown after export.
4. Preview the transition and adjust the timing if needed.

The cut point tells OBS when to switch scenes underneath the animation. It is separate from the total video duration. For details, see the official OBS stinger guide.
