Prompt
Replace [scene] with the shot and [duration] with how long it should take, then paste the prompt into your AI agent. Each prompt includes the name of the technique, so next time you can simply ask for it by name.
This is for a motion graphics video. Join two shots in [scene] with a "Barn Door Wipe" (also called barn doors, a split or a center split): two edges part from the middle of the frame toward the sides and uncover the next shot, like barn doors opening.
Keep both shots still while the edges travel — unlike a push, nothing slides out of the frame, and unlike a plain wipe the reveal starts in the middle and runs both ways at once. For the closing version, bring the edges in from the sides to meet in the middle.
Run the transition over [duration], with both edges moving at the same pace.
