We’ve put together three slick tricks that you can try out in Vyond Studio. Follow the steps to create smooth scene transitions and join sequences together in clever ways.
Trick 1 – Making the message pop up
This is a great way to give viewers context and then smoothly draw attention to your main message.
Use this template >
To try this yourself:
- Create a scene with a character working at the computer. We’ve used a desk, chair, monitor, keyboard, and a coffee cup.
- Select all the assets and set the Exit Effect to Blur. Set the duration to 8 seconds.
- Add a rectangle to cover the entire scene. Set the Enter Effect to Fade. Adjust the delay to around 3 seconds. Then, under the More option next to the effects tabs, adjust the Opacity to 70%.
- Add a rectangle to represent a pop-up window, and then add text to create your message. Set the Enter Effect on these assets to Pop. Adjust the delay to 3 seconds.
- Preview your video, and if necessary adjust the timing on the effects.
- Give yourself a pat on the back for creating such slick scenework.

Trick 2 – Connecting location
From outdoor to indoor, or from here to there, sometimes it’s hard to connect two scenes together. This snapshot scene is a great segue to move the viewer towards your message.

To try this yourself:
- Create your first scene. Use props that give context to your message, and include a camera prop.
- Create the next scene. Start with a book prop and any text you want to include. Add a photo frame prop and on top of that use a few of the assets from the last scene, adjusting it to look like a snapshot.
- Add a Camera Movement, framing the darker orange rectangle over the photo frame prop. Add a second Camera Movement, framing the lighter orange rectangle to view the whole stage. Set the delay to 0.5 seconds and the duration to 1 second.
- Add a rectangle prop and change the color to white. Stretch it large enough to cover the whole scene.
- We want to make the camera look like it’s flashing. To do this, set the rectangle prop’s Exit Effect to Fade, changing the delay to 0 and duration to 0.5 seconds.
- Preview your video. Success!

Trick 3 – Comparing scenarios
A simple trick that you should add to your video portfolio. Comparing scenarios gives the viewer a clear visual distinction between two options and it’s easy for you to do quickly. Stick to a simple color palette to help make the differences stand out.

To try this yourself:
- Add a rectangle prop to the left half of the stage. Create your composition on top using assets that illustrate your message.
- Copy all assets and paste to the other side of the stage.
- While the pasted assets are still selected, right click and select Mirror.
- Add or take away props to the second composition to create a comparison.
- Select all assets on the left and apply Enter Effects to Slide Right. Select all assets on the right and apply Enter Effects to Slide Left.
- Preview your video. Success!
