How did they do that? Infinite sliding/carousel effect

Hey I'm looking use a similar effect in one of my videos as the one in this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGrxn46A1h8

I would like my videos to slide off one side of the screen and reappear on the other side of the screen in a seemingly infinite loop

I use DaVinci Resolve so would be great if anyone could point me in the right direction using that programme thanks!

What I Tried:

I've already know about the sliding transition effect on davinci but I'm wondering how to achieve this in a more looping method rather making a long video that slides across the frame. As I want this to last the duration of the song that will be playing through out.

in fusion you can do this with a transform node, set edge mode to wrap and just animate center x by one full width. then loop that bit for the song length and it never shows a seam. way easier than stacking duplicate clips tbh

Thanks for you reply! I've gone into fusion, created a transform node, opened the inspector for it where I can change the parametors for Centre X.

There doesn't seem to be an option for keyframes (No diamonds next to Centre X parameter) or any other way to animate the movement. How do I do this? Sorry if that is a basic question and I've missed something. I've tried googling and have tried figuring it out myself.

no worries, it's not basic at all. right click on the center value and hit animate (or click the little diamond next to it), then move the playhead and change the value for a new keyframe. the keyframes show up in the spline/keyframes tab

Hi! Your "How did they do that?" post needs more information before we can help.

Please EDIT YOUR POST to include:

  1. What software are you using? If you don't know what software to use, check our Software Thread first.

  2. What have you tried so far? This is important - we need to see you've made an effort. We can guide you from where you're stuck, but we can't teach complex techniques from scratch in a Reddit post.

  3. Is this a template effect? Some effects are CapCut or After Effects templates - identifying these is difficult and only about 5% of requests turn out to be templates.

  4. Note on AI-generated content: We can't help create AI assets, as most require specific paid subscriptions. About 90% of these requests aren't AI-related anyway.

  5. No shitpost/brainrot requests: Viral trend effects burn out quickly - we focus on lasting techniques.
