Scene transitions and animations bring rhythm and polish to your videos, turning simple edits into smooth, professional stories. With HeyGen, you can animate on-screen text and elements, apply seamless scene transitions, and use advanced tools like Magic Match to create a consistent flow—all without external editing software.
You can animate text, images, and avatars with just a few clicks. Select the element you want to animate, and its timing markers will appear in the Script Panel. Drag them to control when the element appears or fades out, then choose from styles like fade, slide, zoom, or pop. Each option can be previewed instantly, and the duration slider lets you fine-tune how quickly the motion plays. A simple fade can soften transitions, while a quick slide or pop adds energy and emphasis.
For even more movement and personality, HeyGen offers Premium motion elements—animated intros, speaker cards, quotes, and text effects like typewriter animations. These pre-designed assets work seamlessly with your avatars and templates, helping you draw attention to key messages or enhance visual pacing. Just drag one into your scene, customize the text, and it’s ready to go.
Adding scene transitions ties everything together. In the timeline, hover between two scenes, click the three dots, and select Add Scene Transition. You’ll see a menu of transition options, fades for a cinematic feel, slides and zooms for energy, or more dynamic effects for modern storytelling. You can control the duration of each transition and decide whether to apply it to just one scene or to every scene in your project. Live preview lets you experiment until the flow feels natural.
For the most seamless experience, HeyGen’s Magic Match automates transitions between scenes that share similar elements. When text, images, or avatars appear in consecutive scenes, Magic Match detects them and automatically animates the movement, scale, and position for a smooth, connected flow. It’s perfect for creating continuity without manually adjusting timing or animation.
Once your transitions and animations are in place, preview your video to see how it all comes together. A few thoughtful movements, whether it’s text fading in, an image sliding out, or a smooth Magic Match between scenes—can make your video feel more cohesive and professional.
With transitions, animations, and motion elements, HeyGen gives you full creative control over how your story moves. These small touches make a big difference, transforming static scenes into dynamic, engaging experiences that keep viewers watching from start to finish.
