Live Streaming is a dynamic process; you’re always switching between different scenes of your transmission, reading the chat, and keeping track of where you are, what to say, and where you need to go next.
Stinger transitions help streamers to avoid his/her viewers feeling like the current moment just abruptly ended.
Better if each stage of your transmission flows into the next one with a professional animation do it for this purpose.

What is a Stinger Transition?
A stinger transition ( a.k.a. twitch transition ) is a short animation clip that plays at the end of one scene and the beginning of the next, helping viewers to flow from one scene to the next and making your stream look more polished.
There are a lot of different types of stinger transitions for Twitch. Most streamers might use a particular design because they like the way it looks.
Use one design that suits your streaming type and the message you want to convey in your stream.
For example, if you play action or futuristic video games, you can opt for more loaded designs with metallic finishes and visual effects.
On the contrary, if you are focused on “Just Chatting” at Twitch, a simpler and more minimalist design to switch between your scenes will be more flattering for your streaming.
Use Stinger to give each scene a more professional look and feel during your live streaming.

Track Matte Stinger Transitions
In OBS, you also have the option to use Track Matte Stinger.
These types of transitions do not have any animated visual element that does the transition but rather directly apply an instant animation to your live streaming, which itself transitions to your next scene.
If you want to know in more detail, you can see the Track Matte Stinger Transitions in OBS wiki.
How do I put sound to a stream transition?
Although OBS and Streamlabs don’t give you the option to play a separate audio file with your stream transition, we still have you covered!
Every of our Twitch stingers includes perfectly synchronized audio, providing you with 1 or 2 volume level files as well as a mute version.
How long should a Stinger be?
On average most of the stream transitions you can find are 2 seconds long, like FLOX RED, for example.
But in MoveGraph, we also have ultra-fast transitions of 1-second length, take a look at the demo of NINUS Purple to see how they look and feel and if they are what you want for your streaming.
Other options are extensive and more animated, reaching 3 or 4 seconds of duration, like DOOR RED.
Keeping that in mind, now you can choose the length it feels better for your type of streaming and the message you want to convey.
TIP: The "Transition Point" in your settings will vary depending on the duration and animation length. Adjusted it correctly! So the transition between one scene and the next one is smooth and right done.
How do I add Stinger Transitions in OBS?
To add a seamless transition between two scenes, follow these simple steps:
- Open OBS and select the source you want to transition to.
- Click on the + symbol at the “Scene Transitions” area, and select “Stinger”.
- In the new window that will pop-up you will upload and set up the transition.
- Now, click on the button “Browse” and select the stinger .webm from the location on your computer.
- After, select “Time” for the transition type.
- For the “Transition Point” enter the setting we have to provide you. (it is a PNG image inside the folder of your purchased stinger ). Usually, the TP is the middle of the transition duration in milliseconds.
- To enable the audio, change the sounds to “Monitoring and Output.”
- Then, for the Audio Fade Style, select the “Hide to transition point and then fade in” option.
- Click OK. Now your Stinger is ready!
