Detailed feature breakdown

How Motion, Effects, Shapes & Masking works inside Lyra Video Editor.

This section explains the actual workflow, controls, and buyer value behind this feature.

Transition and animation system

The editor includes a broad motion toolkit with GL transitions, resize modes, easing, timing controls, entry animations, exit animations, and continuous zoom or motion effects. This turns static layouts into polished social video scenes.

  • Transition controls include duration, easing, resize mode, and parameters.
  • Entry and exit animations can be applied to timeline layers.
  • Zoom items can target specific regions of the canvas.

Visual styling for every layer type

Video, image, text, and shape layers can use styling controls such as filters, crop, transform, opacity, background, 3D layout, shadow, and glow. This gives creators the same design depth normally expected from desktop creative software.

  • Filters and crop controls help normalize mixed media assets.
  • Shadow and glow stacks create depth without external design tools.
  • 3D layout effects support card, tilt, fold, and perspective styles.

Shape and mask libraries

The product includes large shape and mask libraries so teams can create badges, cutouts, overlays, frames, and branded motion treatments. Masks can be used on visual layers while shapes can be placed as their own editable timeline items.

  • Shape assets support icons, badges, overlays, and composition elements.
  • Mask assets help create cutout and reveal treatments for images or videos.
  • Searchable libraries keep advanced styling usable for non-designers.
