But it will be glorious.

My young son and I have been working on a “entering a world through a doorway” MineCraft video capture.
Today, in addition to pulling my shed door open with a hidden wire, I filmed “a mysterious man who approaches a door brandishing a curious carven staff…”

It is a good father-and-son project, and he is learning Shotcut.

A seven-second proof-of-concept video.

The door begins to open, as the inter-dimensional portal forms and stabilizes…

The flash of the portal beginning to form is really to cover the otherwise “blink” as it goes from non-greenscreen dark gray tones to absolute black before the other-world scene fades in.

:laughing:

Thank you @bentacular for showing me how.

I hope the inter-dimensional portal appreciates all the work you put into giving it a proper link to our dimension.
