Multi-scene architecture

Use TransitionSeries from @remotion/transitions for videos with multiple scenes:

When to use Sequence vs TransitionSeries

Persistent background layer

For a background that stays consistent across transitions, wrap it outside the TransitionSeries:

Scene structure pattern

Each scene should follow this layering:

Duration guidelines

Transition timing

  • Fast transitions (15-20 frames): energetic, snappy feel
  • Medium transitions (25-35 frames): professional, smooth
  • Slow transitions (40-60 frames): cinematic, dramatic
Use springTiming with high damping (200) for smooth transitions. Use linearTiming for constant-speed transitions.

Media layers

When using AI-generated media (images, video, audio), layer them into the scene structure. See the full Working with Media guide for generation commands and detailed examples.

Video or image background

Global audio track

Place <Audio> at the composition level (outside TransitionSeries) so it plays across all scenes:
