wwwmaze,

wouldn't it be a good thing to have video folders behaving the same as audio folders? I mean, imagine how easy it would be to handle title animations separately from scene transitions etc. It only needed a last instance like opacity to plan and organize everything.

But I'm still amazed by your presets. I downloaded SynfigStudio and made within a minute an own black and white transitions. That's so easy. You can practically do anything in 2d.

The other way to create nice alpha effects would be to use the "cheap brightness and contrast" preset with simple video snippets. Film some waves on a lake. Put it in Reaper. Choose the "cheap brightness" effect on it to desaturate and darken it until its nearly black. Then animate the contrast or brightness (extreme settings are possible) to make the transition to white.

So here is the quick synfigStudio test. Its a bit weird in timing but was made in a minute after first time opening this software. Now we see which powerful tool you have created.
