title: "Whip Pan Cut"
description: "A full-frame whip pan: scene A whips off laterally with capped directional motion blur while scene B enters in the same direction at matched velocity, on a speed-ramp profile with a decelerating catch. Both scenes ride one strip, so seam velocity is exact by construction. Callers fill the named before/after slot panels; token-styled defaults render when a slot is left empty."

Whip Pan Cut

## Install
That writes one file: `compositions/components/whip-pan-cut.html`.
## Paste it into your composition
Open `compositions/components/whip-pan-cut.html` and copy what is inside into your own composition.
A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition
you paste it into.
## Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you
want to change on the element:
| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `direction` | `left` | `left`, `right` | Shared travel direction for the outgoing and incoming scenes. |
| `whip_at` | `0.25` | 0s to 8s, step 0.05s | Seconds after mount start when the whip begins. |
| `accent` | `green` | `green`, `blue`, `violet` | Seam hairline and default after art tint. |
| `exit` | `none` | `none`, `fade`, `up` | Optional departure of the landed scene. Default none: it rests until the frame cuts. |
Set them with `data-variable-values` on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
