Pixel dissolve

The frame dissolves into square pixels in random order — a few in the accents — until it is covered, then dissolves away to the next shot.

Render it

npx volito render transitions/pixels --out pixels.mov

That writes ProRes 4444 with alpha, ready to drop over footage. The same item in another shape, brand or format:

volito render transitions/pixels --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out pixels-9x16.mov
volito render transitions/pixels --format mp4 --out pixels.mp4
volito still transitions/pixels --t 0.26 --out pixels.png
volito info transitions/pixels     # every prop and part
volito add transitions/pixels      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("transitions/pixels"), { props: {}, out: "pixels.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito pixel dissolve (transitions/pixels) in 9:16, in our brand.”

Props

Set each with --prop name=value, or all at once with --props and a JSON object.

Parts

Each part takes any move, ease or idle: --motion cover.in=pop.

More in Transitions

Iris

A camera iris: the frame closes down to a point through a ring of the accent, then opens on the next shot. Circle, diamond, star or square, from any point.

Blinds

Venetian blinds: slats swing shut one after another in alternating colours, then open on the next shot.

Doors

Two doors slide shut and a Bauhaus disc locks them, then they slide open on the next shot. Across on wide frames, top and bottom on tall ones.

Glitch

A digital glitch: torn slices and RGB-split blocks flicker in, the frame breaks fully at the cut, then glitches out to the next shot.

Ink bleed

Ink spreads from a point in wobbly blooms of the accents until it floods the frame, then a hole blooms open on the next shot.

Clock wipe

A clock-hand sweep: the next colour wipes round the frame like a second hand with an accent edge, then sweeps on round to reveal the next shot.
