Watch: The young girl by the window slowly turns transparent while an old woman by the same window appears; the two images overlap for a second, and decades pass in that second.A line-art demo that only illustrates the technique, not finished footage.

When to use it

The passage of time, going into a memory, two scenes linked by emotion.

Prompt template

dissolve: the outgoing shot (a young woman by the window) fades as the incoming shot (an old woman by the same window) fades in, overlapping for about one second with matching composition.

The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Two shots with exactly the same composition. Shot one: a summer afternoon, an eighteen-year-old girl sits by the window of an old house writing a letter, sunlight on the desk, locked-off camera, 4 seconds. Shot two: the same window, the same desk, in winter; white-haired now, she sits in the same spot reading that yellowed letter, locked-off camera, 4 seconds. Dissolve the two together for about 1 second in the edit.

Common pitfalls

A dissolve in an action scene softens the rhythm.
If the two compositions don't line up, the overlap is a mess.

Parameter tips

Dissolves are usually done in the editing software; when generating, just line up the composition of the two shots.
