Bauhaus tiles
A grid of Bauhaus shapes — discs, quarter circles, squares — pops in tile by tile in a diagonal wave to cover the frame, then shrinks away.

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.
