Fly scene A out and scene B in at matched velocity with directional blur peaking at the swap.

## What it does

Built on [Whip Pan Cut](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/tree/main/registry/components/whip-pan-cut) by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

A camera-like whip: both scenes travel the same way, blur peaks mid-move, B lands sharp.

**When:** Energetic HyperFrames edits; DOM content (UI, type, product shots) where a shader capture is unnecessary.

**Watch out:** Different directions or eases for the two halves; blur that lingers after B lands.

**Timing:** 0.3–0.45 s total; power4.in out of A, power4.out into B

**Also called:** whip-pan-cut, GSAP whip, motion blur whip, velocity-matched whip

### In HyperFrames

Ready primitive: `npx hyperframes add whip-pan-cut` (capped directional motion blur, same-direction entry at matched velocity, speed-ramped). Hand-written:
```js
const T = 4, D = 0.18;
tl.to("#s1", { x: -1920, filter: "blur(24px)", duration: D, ease: "power4.in" }, T);
tl.fromTo("#s2", { x: 1920, filter: "blur(24px)" }, { x: 0, filter: "blur(0px)", duration: D * 1.4, ease: "power4.out" }, T + D);
```
CSS `blur()` is isotropic; for true directional blur use the `motion-blur` filter component (shutter-angle integration) or the `whip-pan` shader.

- [Mix (Cross Dissolve)](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/mix-dissolve.md): The two shots blend through each other. The quietest transition: "time passes" or "this continues".
- [Dip to Black](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/black-fade.md): A fades to black, then B fades up. Marks the end of a section or a bigger jump in time.
- [White Flash](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/white-flash.md): The frame blows out to white for a moment and opens on the next shot. Energy, memory or a camera snap.
- [Pull In (Zoom In)](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/pull-in-zoom.md): The camera rushes into shot A and lands, still moving forward, in shot B. The signature short-form transition.
- [Pull Out (Zoom Out)](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/pull-out-zoom.md): The camera jerks backwards out of shot A and keeps pulling back as shot B settles in.
