I saw a cool and simple transition in a YouTube video today.
Remember the old days when a slide show was actual slides projected on a foldable screen? This transition kind of mimics what you would see when the projector switched from one slide to the next. But faster.
Here’s a demo of the Filter Set in action:
I made a version of this filter set for each of the following Video Modes:
The ZIP file also contains an audio file of the slide-changing sound effect you heard in the demo.
It’s 1-second long, so it matches the length of the transition and the peak of the sound will happen exactly at the half point of the animation. Just snap it under the transition clip. No guesses, no fiddling.
How to install a filter set:
Download the ZIP file and un-zip it.
In Shotcut, go to Settings > App Data Directory > Show
If you don’t see a filter-sets folder, create one (use that exact name).
Open the filter-sets folder.
Move the un-zipped filter set file(s) of your choice in that folder.
Close and re-launch Shotcut.
Your new filter set(s) should be visible in Filters > Sets
Thank you @MusicalBox. Very very cool. I like it a lot. Nostalgia?
A few years ago, I created a video on this theme for a family party. Here’s a short sample.
My projector was more ‘rustic’ than yours .
(Of course, the photos have been replaced).
Merci @MusicalBox. Très très cool. J’aime beaucoup. Nostalgie ?
Il y a quelques années, j’avais crée sur ce thème une vidéo pour une réunion de famille. Voici un court extrait. Mon projecteur était plus ‘rustique’ que le votre .

Brilliant, @musicalbox - another keeper. Very creative. Thanks so much - I’ll be using it. And nice touch to include the audio clip. Wow, you even made the audio clip 1 second long to match the transition length. You are the bee’s knees!
I remembered at the last second about that one time when you commented about the silence in my demo videos. That scarred me for life
Thanks for the nice comment Jon
Jon… I can (barely) forgive you for not knowing that particular song.
But please tell me that you’ve heard about Styx before today.

Désolé @MusicalBox, mais je suis obligé de voler au secours de @Jonray. Styx était peu connu en Europe, en France au moins, à la différence de Foreigner ou des Eagles, avec qui ils ont travaillé. Par contre, je viens de lire qu’ils étaient très connus au Québec. Je n’ai pas le souvenir d’avoir entendu une seule de leurs chansons. Est-ce grave ?
Sorry @MusicalBox, but I have to come to @Jonray’s rescue. Styx were little known in Europe, unlike Foreigner or the Eagles, with whom they worked.
On the other hand, I’ve just read that they were very well known in Quebec. I don’t remember hearing any of their songs. Is that a problem?
Je vous crois sur parole, bien sur. Mais je dois avouer que cela me surprend un peu. J’adore Foreigner et les Eagles, mais je pense que la musique de Styx était meilleure. Plus variée, plus énergique et plus complexe.
I’ll take your word for it, of course. But I have to admit I’m a bit surprised. I love Foreigner and the Eagles, but I think Styx’s music was better. More varied, more energetic and more complex.
Grave? Non. Mais c’est un peu dommage.
A problem? No. But it’s unfortunate.
Grâce à vous, je répare immédiatement cette grave lacune musicale. J’ai mis en favori les Greatest Hits de Styx sur Deezer.
I’m immediately remedying this major musical deficiency. I’ve bookmarked Styx’s Greatest Hits on Deezer.
I thought you chose that name because of the James Bond movie, “Never say never again”.
After “Diamonds Are Forever”, Sean Connery said he would never play James Bond again. But he did.
