Hard cuts work, but sometimes you want something smoother. A morphing transition. A seamless blend that makes two clips feel like one continuous shot. Sequencer can generate these transitions automatically using AI. Here is exactly how to do it.
How It Works
The concept is simple. You have two video clips. Instead of cutting directly from one to the other, you create a middle shot between them. This middle shot becomes your transition. It uses the end frame of your first video as its starting point and the start frame of your second video as its ending point. The AI generates all the frames in between.
The Three-Shot Setup
Video A
Your first clip
Transition
AI-generated blend
Video B
Your second clip
The result is a smooth morph from one clip to the next. What would have required complex compositing or match cuts now happens automatically.
Setting Up Your Clips
First, get your two videos into the project. Hover over a shot card and click the settings icon in the top corner. Select Insert Image/Video from the dropdown and choose your file. Do this twice, once for each video.
Now add a blank shot between them. Click the + Add Shot button to insert a new shot between Video A and Video B. This blank shot is where your transition will live.
You should now have three shots in your timeline: Video A, the blank transition shot, and Video B.
The Link Buttons
This is where the magic happens. On your transition shot card, you will see two small link buttons on the left and right edges of the thumbnail. These buttons connect your transition to the surrounding shots.

Right
Click the left link button . This tells Sequencer to use the end frame from Video A as the starting point for your transition. The button will fill in to show it is connected.
Click the right link button . This tells Sequencer to use the start frame from Video B as the ending point. When both buttons are active, you will see a message on the shot: "Transitioning between surrounding shots".
You can also link just one side if you only want to match one direction. For a full blend, connect both.
Adding a Prompt
Give your transition shot a simple text prompt to guide the AI. Click on the text area at the bottom of the shot card and describe the transition you want. Something like "Smooth morphing transition" or "Camera push in, seamless blend".
Keep it short. The AI uses this along with the linked frames to generate the in-between footage.
Generating the Transition
On your transition shot card, look at the bottom-left area. You will see two buttons: an image button and a video button .
Generation Controls
Click the Video button to generate your transition
Click the Video button to start generating. Sequencer will create your transition video using the linked frames and your prompt. This usually takes a minute or two.
Once complete, the generated transition appears on the shot card. Preview it by clicking play.
Exporting Everything
Happy with the result? Export your entire sequence as one video. Click the Export button in the top-right corner. Sequencer will render Video A, your transition, and Video B into a single output file.
That is it. You have created a seamless AI-generated blend between two live-action clips.
Getting Better Results
The smoother the visual connection between your clips, the better the transition. Try to match lighting, composition, or movement direction between the end of Video A and the start of Video B. The more similar they are, the cleaner the blend.
Transition duration matters. Shorter durations (0.5-1 second) feel snappier and more energetic. Longer durations (2-3 seconds) feel dreamlike and surreal. Experiment to find what works for your content.
If the transition looks glitchy or weird, your clips might be too visually different. Try adjusting the transition point to where the clips share more visual similarity.
Start Blending
Open a project and try blending two clips together. The more you experiment, the better you will get at predicting what works.
