Animations and Effects

Bring your video to life with animations. Every element on your timeline can have an entrance, an exit, or both.

Add an animation

1. Select an element on the timeline or canvas
2. Open the Properties panel on the right
3. Under Animation In, pick how it enters
4. Under Animation Out, pick how it leaves
5. Set the Duration (how long the animation takes)

Styles available

Style	Looks like
Fade	Fades in or out, including Fade In Down, Fade In Up, Fade In Left, Fade In Right
Slide	Slides in from any direction
Zoom	Scales in or out from center
Bounce	Bounces in with energy
Rotate	Rotates in with a spin
Flip	Flips in from any axis
Attention	Pulses, shakes, wobbles, or swings in place

Scene transitions

Between scenes, you can add transitions for a polished look:

1. Place two clips so they overlap on the timeline
2. Click the overlap area
3. Pick a transition — crossfade, slide, zoom, wipe, and more

Tips

• Fast animations (300–500ms) feel snappy and modern
• Slow animations (800–1200ms) feel cinematic and smooth
• Apply animations to text and graphics, not just video clips
• Use the same animation style throughout for a consistent look
• Preview before exporting to fine-tune timing
