Pass-through Objects (pass Through Effect)
Pass-Through Objects pushes the camera into a door, window, screen, bottle or wall in your photo and out the other side into a new space, with the transition held dead center and no cut. Upload one still that has a clear object to fly through and get a short clip that moves the viewer somewhere else.
Pass-Through Objects Template
Upload one photo with a clear object, surface or opening near the center: a door, window, mirror, screen, bottle or tunnel mouth.
WHAT IT IS
What a pass through effect is, and how the template flies through an object from one photo
A pass through effect is a camera transition in which the lens flies directly into an object, surface or opening, uses the center of that object as the hand-off point, and emerges on the far side in a different space. Filmmakers fake it with a hidden cut: push into a dark keyhole, a phone screen or a wall, cut, then pull out of the matching object in the next location. The Pass-Through Objects template generates the move from a single uploaded photo. Its virtual camera pushes smoothly toward the object or obstacle in the frame, treats its center as the transition point, passes through continuously, and reveals a new space on the other side. The transition stays centered and natural from start to finish, with no visible break. Output is a short clip, vertical or landscape, on the Seedance video model, with no hidden cut to disguise.
- Centered on the object
- The camera pushes toward the object, surface or gap and keeps its center in the middle of the frame. That centering is what makes the hand-off feel like one continuous flight rather than two shots.
- Through, not around
- The lens goes into and through the obstacle: a doorway, a window pane, a bottle, a painting, a wall. The far side arrives from inside the object, not from a wipe or a cut.
- A new space beyond
- The engine reveals a different space on the other side, consistent with the object it passed through. A train window opens onto countryside; a bottle opens onto an orchard.
- One photo, no match cut
- The manual version needs two locations, two matched objects and a frame-accurate hidden cut. Upload one still, pick the template, and the workbench generates the whole pass-through.
USE CASES
Three objects worth flying through
Property, product and travel situations where the camera should go through something instead of cutting.
Front door into the living room
A listing photo of a closed front door becomes a camera pass through: the lens drives at the door, moves through it, and comes out in the furnished living room. Agents use the 9:16 clip as the opening of a walkthrough Reel.
Perfume bottle into the grove
A product photo of a citrus perfume bottle turns into a through object shot: the camera pushes into the glass and emerges in a sunlit orange grove. Brands run the 16:9 clip as a six-second pre-roll.
Train window into the countryside
A photo taken inside a train carriage becomes a pass through transition: the camera flies at the window, passes the glass, and opens onto rolling fields outside. Travel vloggers use it to move from the cabin to the destination.
FAQ
Common questions
What is a pass through effect?+
A pass through effect is a camera transition in which the lens flies into an object, surface or opening and emerges in a different space on the other side, with the object's center used as the hand-off point. Editors traditionally build it with a hidden cut; generated versions keep the flight continuous.
Pass through transition vs infinite zoom: what is the difference?+
A pass through transition is one flight through one object into one new space, and then it settles. Infinite Zoom never settles: it accelerates through layer after nested layer. Use Pass-Through Objects to move between two places and Infinite Zoom for a tunnel of many.
Pass through effect vs a match cut: which is better?+
A match cut hides an edit between two similar shots and needs both locations filmed with matching objects. The generated pass through effect needs only one photo and has no edit to hide, because the camera moves through the object continuously.
What photo works best for Pass-Through Objects?+
A photo with one clear object, surface or gap near the center that the camera can aim at: a door, a window, a mirror, a screen, a bottle, a painting. Objects with an obvious middle work best. Photos with no focal object give the engine nothing to pass through.
How long is a Pass-Through Objects clip, and what format is it?+
Pass-Through Objects returns a short clip from one uploaded photo, in vertical or landscape output set in the workbench. The push, the pass and the reveal are continuous with no cut, and the clip ends inside the new space, so the last frame can hold or cut away.
Can I choose what is on the other side of the object?+
The other side is generated to fit the object and the scene in your photo; you do not upload a second image for it. A door opens onto a room, a window onto an exterior, a bottle onto a setting that matches its design. Trying different objects steers what appears.
Where does a camera pass through work best?+
Real-estate walkthrough openers in 9:16, product pre-rolls in 16:9, travel vlogs that need to jump from cabin to destination, and any edit where two scenes have to be joined without a hard cut, from a kitchen to a beach or a shop window to a showroom.
Other names for Pass-Through Objects
Editors name this move several ways. Pass through effect, pass through transition and pass through objects are the direct terms; camera pass through and through object shot describe the mechanics; fly-through transition, portal transition and through-the-window shot are common in tutorials; the invisible cut and the impossible camera move are what editors call the hand-built version. All of them mean a camera going through something into somewhere else, which this template generates from one photo.
