3D Pan Transition

Goal

Create 3D rotating "swivel" transition effects for videos using Remotion rendering.

Scripts

• ./scripts/insert_3d_transition.py - Insert transition into video

Usage

python3 ./scripts/insert_3d_transition.py input.mp4 output.mp4 \
  --insert-at 3 \
  --duration 5 \
  --teaser-start 60 \
  --bg-image .tmp/bg.png

Parameters

Argument	Default	Description
--insert-at	3	Where to insert (seconds)
--duration	5	Transition duration
--teaser-start	60	Where to sample content from
--bg-image	none	Background image

How It Works

1. Extracts frames from later in video
2. Creates 3D rotating animation via Remotion
3. Splits video: intro, transition, main
4. Concatenates with audio preserved

Dependencies

cd video_effects && npm install

Output

Video with swivel teaser inserted at specified position.
