Whip pan

A whip pan: speed streaks blur across, thicken into a smear of the brand's colours at the cut, then streak away the same way onto the next shot.

Playing live with volito/browser, the engine a render uses. Each tab lays the item out again for that shape, not a crop. The graphic is transparent; the grey stands in for your footage.

Render it

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

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

volito render transitions/whip --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out whip-9x16.mov
volito render transitions/whip --format mp4 --out whip.mp4
volito still transitions/whip --t 0.18 --out whip.png
volito info transitions/whip     # every prop and part
volito add transitions/whip      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

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

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

Props

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