Is there anyone who has had the opportunity to study the inclusion of GL TRANSITIONS?
Sorry for my poor English…

Thanks in advance!!

I think most Cinelerra users who read this forum use the Video Transitions included with the CinGG AppImage that is built in (and so may not have looked at gl-transitions.com). I brought up its website and it looks very good but I did not load or test the actual software. It does seem to be quite robust and useful.

Cinelerra built in Video and a few Audio Transitions work well and do use the Graphics Library (GL) when enabled and able to do so. There is a demo of the available Video Transitions currently available and others can be added by the user. Demo is at:

There are currently about 70 Video Transitions built in and are listed at:

An older created video is a nice display of the transitions and can be downloaded as described in:

Andrew_R provided the following information in our Archived Mailing List.

You can draw GL transitions and in various environments:

  • In Vanilla WebGL code, gl-transition exposes a draw function to render a GL Transition frame.
  • With regl, regl-transition exposes a function to render a GL Transition with a regl context.
  • In React paradigm, react-gl-transition exposes a component to use in a gl-reacts Surface. This is what this app uses heavily.
  • In CLI, gl-transition-scripts exposes a gl-transition-render command to render a Transition to an image file. Our bot uses that to render a GIF and put it in the PRs! Travis also validates the transitions that gets committed with the gl-transition-transform command.
  • In a node.js server you can use headless gl and obviously gl-transition to render a transition on server side. Which is what the gl-transition-render command is doing.
  • …more environments and languages to support are welcomed to contributions.
