Scene Transitions
Animated transition effects can be applied when switching between scenes. To choose which transition style is applied, click the drop-down menu at the top of the scene list. The timing of the effect can also be changed at the bottom of this list.
Select transitions by clicking the drop-down menu right above your scene list.
The transition you selected will be used every time you switch between scenes.
Designate your preferred transition styles and timings for quick access.
Clicking on the ☆ icon sets the currently selected transition and timing as a favorite.
Favorite transitions can be accessed through a menu by clicking the ˅ arrow beside the ☆ icon as well as by right-clicking on specific scenes.
Use specific transitions for particular scenes, overriding the default transition applied universally across all scenes, by right-clicking a scene button then going to Transition override then selecting a transition. You can also set the transition speed individually for each Transition Override.
For instance, while using a uniform Fade transition for several scenes, you can specifically designate a distinct transition for a “Final Scene” without the need to switch transitions or right-clicking to use a favorite transition.
Transition Override is disabled by default. Transitions set using Transition Override takes priority even when manually selecting a Favorite Transition by right-clicking a scene button.
Stingers are short video clips that can be used to introduce, end, or transition between various scenes of your presentation.
Stinger transitions can have alpha transparency which allows content from the scenes to still be visible while the stinger plays. Only a few video formats support alpha transparency such as MOV and WEBM. Since MOV with alpha channels are usually large files, XSplit Broadcaster uses WEBM as the native format for stingers.
MOV videos and sequential PNG images can easily be converted to the native WEBM format and added to the Transitions menu using the Add Stinger wizard. Existing WEBM with alpha can also be used with the Add Stinger wizard to instantly add them to the Transitions menu.
Click on the Transitions drop-down menu then go to Stingers Transitions > Add transition…
Click to browse and select your source file.
You can change the Stinger name and Transition point if you prefer.
You can access additional settings as well by enabling Show advanced settings.
For WebM source files, click Add stinger.
For MOV and PNG source files, click Convert and add stinger.
XSplit will automatically convert MOV or PNG sequence files to a WEBM file.
You will be prompted once the conversion is complete and successfully added, and you can find your newly added stinger under the Stingers Transitions menu.
You can also convert MOV and sequential PNG files to a stinger compatible WEBM format using the Stinger Creator extension.
Luma Transitions allow you to transition between scenes using custom black and white masks.
Click on the Transitions drop-down menu then go to Luma Transitions > Add transition…
