# Transitions

## Fullscreen transitions

Using `<TransitionSeries>` to animate between multiple scenes or clips.\
This will absolutely position the children.

## Prerequisites

First, the @remotion/transitions package needs to be installed.\
If it is not, use the following command:

```bash theme={null}
npx remotion add @remotion/transitions # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/transitions # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/transitions # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/transitions # If project uses pnpm
```

## Example usage

```tsx theme={null}
import {TransitionSeries, linearTiming} from '@remotion/transitions';
import {fade} from '@remotion/transitions/fade';

<TransitionSeries>
  <TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
    <SceneA />
  </TransitionSeries.Sequence>
  <TransitionSeries.Transition presentation={fade()} timing={linearTiming({durationInFrames: 15})} />
  <TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
    <SceneB />
  </TransitionSeries.Sequence>
</TransitionSeries>;
```

## Available Transition Types

Import transitions from their respective modules:

```tsx theme={null}
import {fade} from '@remotion/transitions/fade';
import {slide} from '@remotion/transitions/slide';
import {wipe} from '@remotion/transitions/wipe';
import {flip} from '@remotion/transitions/flip';
import {clockWipe} from '@remotion/transitions/clock-wipe';
```

## Slide Transition with Direction

Specify slide direction for enter/exit animations.

```tsx theme={null}
import {slide} from '@remotion/transitions/slide';

<TransitionSeries.Transition presentation={slide({direction: 'from-left'})} timing={linearTiming({durationInFrames: 20})} />;
```

Directions: `"from-left"`, `"from-right"`, `"from-top"`, `"from-bottom"`

## Timing Options

```tsx theme={null}
import {linearTiming, springTiming} from '@remotion/transitions';

// Linear timing - constant speed
linearTiming({durationInFrames: 20});

// Spring timing - organic motion
springTiming({config: {damping: 200}, durationInFrames: 25});
```

## Duration calculation

Transitions overlap adjacent scenes, so the total composition length is **shorter** than the sum of all sequence durations.

For example, with two 60-frame sequences and a 15-frame transition:

* Without transitions: `60 + 60 = 120` frames
* With transition: `60 + 60 - 15 = 105` frames

The transition duration is subtracted because both scenes play simultaneously during the transition.

### Getting the duration of a transition

Use the `getDurationInFrames()` method on the timing object:

```tsx theme={null}
import {linearTiming, springTiming} from '@remotion/transitions';

const linearDuration = linearTiming({durationInFrames: 20}).getDurationInFrames({fps: 30});
// Returns 20

const springDuration = springTiming({config: {damping: 200}}).getDurationInFrames({fps: 30});
// Returns calculated duration based on spring physics
```

For `springTiming` without an explicit `durationInFrames`, the duration depends on `fps` because it calculates when the spring animation settles.

### Calculating total composition duration

```tsx theme={null}
import {linearTiming} from '@remotion/transitions';

const scene1Duration = 60;
const scene2Duration = 60;
const scene3Duration = 60;

const timing1 = linearTiming({durationInFrames: 15});
const timing2 = linearTiming({durationInFrames: 20});

const transition1Duration = timing1.getDurationInFrames({fps: 30});
const transition2Duration = timing2.getDurationInFrames({fps: 30});

const totalDuration = scene1Duration + scene2Duration + scene3Duration - transition1Duration - transition2Duration;
// 60 + 60 + 60 - 15 - 20 = 145 frames
```
