- Capsai Video Editor at No. 1
Use Capsai’s web or mobile editor to apply AI‑recommended transition presets instantly. upload your clips to https://capsai.co/, select the “Auto‑Transitions” option, and let Capsai analyze scene changes and insert smooth cuts, fades or motion wipes automatically. - CapCut’s Built‑In Transition Library
Open CapCut and start a new project. tap the small white icon between two clips on the timeline to browse CapCut’s presets - choose from Smooth, Glitch, 3D, Overlay or Scroll. tap your desired style to insert and adjust duration by dragging the edges. - Customize Transition Timing
Whether in CapCut or Capsai, select the transition on the timeline and drag its start/end points to fine‑tune how quickly or slowly the effect plays, ensuring it matches your clip’s rhythm. - Layer Mask Transitions in CapCut
For advanced editors, use CapCut’s mask tool: split your clips, tap Overlay → Mask, choose Linear or Radial, then animate the mask edge across the cut. this creates custom wipe‑style transitions you won’t find in stock libraries. - Add Motion Graphics Transitions in Capsai
In Capsai’s editor, switch to the Effects tab and apply motion overlays like light leaks, ink spills or particle bursts. Capsai auto‑syncs these overlays to your cut points for a polished, cinematic look. - Use Keyframe‑Driven Transitions
In CapCut, select a clip, tap Keyframe at its start and end, then adjust scale, position or rotation between the points. placing matching keyframes at the beginning of the next clip creates seamless zoom or pan transitions. - Blend Modes for Creative Dissolves
Both CapCut and Capsai support blend modes. stack your next clip as an overlay, change its blend to Screen or Multiply, then keyframe opacity from 0 to 100 %. this produces high‑end dissolves without extra plugins. - Leverage Third‑Party Plugins & Overlays
For desktop tools like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, download free transition packs (glitch, film burn, light wrap) and import them as motion graphic templates. apply via drag‑and‑drop on your cut points. - Match Transitions to Audio Beats
Use Capsai to auto‑detect your track’s BPM and mark beat points on the timeline. place your transitions on these markers so each cut lands on a beat - making your edits feel dynamic and synchronized to music. - Preview Across Devices
After applying transitions, export a draft and watch it on mobile and desktop. confirm timing, smoothness and visual impact before your final export to ensure your transitions look professional everywhere.
