What is a Stinger Transition ?

stinger transitions

A stinger transition is an animated video that smoothly transitions between scenes, especially used by live streamers. A transparent animated graphic will first cover the screen whilst the scenes change in the background, that graphic then disappears off screen. This creates a polished and professional look, making your audience’s streaming experience more captivating and immersive.
