AI Video Transition Prompts
Transitions are easier to control when the end state of one beat naturally creates the starting state of the next.
Match cut
Match shape, motion or framing across a scene change.
Object wipe
Let a foreground object temporarily fill the frame and reveal the next scene.
Whip-pan handoff
Use directional blur deliberately, then land on a stable composition.
Lighting transition
Use a motivated light change instead of random morphing.
Movement continuation
Carry subject or camera direction across the cut.
Prompt structure
Reusable cinematography template
