Transition help (newbie)!

Hey everyone! Sorry again, I usually just search up my answers as I’m a new writer. I usually see everyone starting off with splashes in their episode and it stays for a few seconds before transitioning. I did it, but I don’t know how to make it stay a few seconds longer before transitioning. :frowning:

before you write
@transition fade out

you can write
@pause for 5 (that means 5 seconds)

Birthday girl is right :sunglasses::candy::cake::green_heart:

Code for it:
@pause for T

And you would replace that T with a number, depending on how many seconds you want the background to stay for before you move onto the next background (T can be 5 like @RainbowCat said or another number like 3, 6, and so forth.)

Good luck!

I tried that but the background just comes without transitions then it transitions I don’t know how to explain

I’d recommend

@transition fade out black in 2
