Camera Switching (Method 2) - Layer Opacity
Introduction · Tutorial · Series: Tips and tricks · 5 min 6 sec · Recorded on Composer R3 2026
Overview
Sometimes a hard cut is too abrupt, and one camera should melt into the other. In Composer, that fade is a single property: layer opacity. Here, each camera lives in its own scene with its graphics, and a program scene holds them both. We build one Connector per camera, add an animation time, and trigger the fade from outside Composer. This video is part of a short series on camera switching. If you haven't used Connectors before, watch the Connectors Introduction video first.
