Both add a scene, but for different reasons. Split an existing scene when you want its visuals to change partway through media you already have. Create a new, empty scene to drop in fresh material at a specific point. ## Splitting a scene To split a scene, insert a forward slash (/) in your script where you want to add a new scene. This will add a scene to your composition and fill it with the existing script’s media. This is useful if you already have script media and want your visuals to change mid-scene. 2024-06-03_09-52-55.gif ## Creating a new empty scene You can create a new scene by adding a slash (/) to an empty line in your Script editor. Adding an empty scene will create an entirely new scene, which is useful when you want to add new material to your script at a specific point in your video. Once you add media to the script where the empty scene is positioned, the scene will automatically adjust its length to match the media. ## Creating Intros and Outros with Scenes Scenes aren’t just for splitting content—they’re a great way to add professional intros and outros to your project. To create an intro or outro: 1. Add a new scene where you want the intro or outro to start by clicking the "New Scene" button or pressing `Cmd + Shift + Enter` (Mac) / `Ctrl + Shift + Enter` (Windows). 2. Insert elements like text for titles, images, or audio to introduce your content or provide a polished conclusion. 3. Use transitions between scenes to create a smooth visual flow.
