# Slide Transitions

> Choose from Direct Cut, Fade, Wipe, Slide Over, Push, and Zoom transitions to control how slides flow.

Section: Docs › Editing

Slide transitions determine how content moves from one slide to the next. The right transition sets the tone — subtle fades for professional content, dynamic pushes for marketing videos.

> **Note:** Slide transitions are available on all plans.

## Available transition styles

| Style | Effect | Best for |
|-------|--------|----------|
| **Direct Cut** | Instant switch, no visual effect | Sharp scene changes, contrasting information |
| **Fade** | Gradual opacity transition | Professional, corporate presentations |
| **Wipe** | New slide sweeps across | General purpose, clean transitions |
| **Slide Over** | New slide slides over the current one | Step-by-step progressions |
| **Push** | New slide pushes the current one out | Dynamic, energetic content |
| **Zoom** | Zoom in/out transition | Creative, marketing content |

## Accessing the transition menu

1. Open your project in the editor

2. Locate the area **between any two slides**

## Customizing direction and duration

After choosing a style:

- **Direction** — Set to left, right, up, or down depending on how you want the new slide to enter
- **Duration** — Control how fast or slow the transition plays

**Duration guidelines:**
- **Fast-paced marketing videos** — shorter duration for quicker transitions
- **Educational/explanatory content** — longer duration for smoother, more gradual changes

## Applying transitions to all slides

To apply the same transition consistently across your entire presentation, click the **Change All** button within the transition menu.

## Tips for effective transitions

- **Be consistent** — switch styles only when it supports the content; too many different effects distract viewers
- **Match the tone** — subtle Fade or Slide Over for professional presentations, dynamic Push or Zoom for marketing
- **Direction matters** — transitioning up/down can signal a change in topic or hierarchy
- **Always preview** — play through transitions before finalizing to ensure they support rather than distract from your content
