Hi,

Let us troubleshoot why the previous picture might be lingering when you use the "Page Turning" transition in CapCut. This issue usually stems from how the transition interacts with the clips or other elements on your timeline.

Why is the previous picture still showing after the transition?

The "Page Turning" transition in CapCut creates a page flip effect but doesn't always fully "replace" the previous clip — especially if the outgoing clip has transparency or the next clip is too short.

It looks like the page is turning, but it doesn't properly reveal the next clip, so the last frame of the previous clip seems to "stick."

Try these steps:

Method 1: Adjust the clip lengths

• Make sure both clips are long enough for the transition.
  • Try making the second clip a bit longer, so the transition has more content to reveal.

Method 2: Split the transition section

• Split the clips just before and after the transition and reapply the transition.
• Sometimes transitions glitch when applied between clips that have been trimmed or heavily edited.

Method 3: Use a different version of the transition

• CapCut has multiple page-turning effects under different names ("3D Page Flip", "Book", etc.).
• Try another one to see if it works better with your clips.

Method 4: Add a white background or fill layer behind

• If your clips have transparency (like PNGs or overlays), CapCut might not render the transition properly.
• Add a solid color background (like white) under your clips to make the transition cleaner.

Here is a step-by-step image guide with explanations to fix the issue where the previous image remains after using the "Page Turning" transition in CapCut (PC):

• Step 1: Add Both Clips to the Timeline
  • Make sure both clips are on the main video track.
  • Avoid putting them on overlay tracks when using transitions like "Page Turning."
• Step 2: Trim the Clips to Have Some Overlap Room
  • If the clips are too short or abruptly cut, transitions may glitch.
  • Trim a few seconds off the start or end of each clip if needed.
• Step 3: Select the Cut Between the Clips
  • Click the space between the two clips — a white vertical line will show.
  • Then, in the Transition tab, select "Page Turning."
• Step 4: Adjust Transition Duration
  • Make sure the transition is at least 0.5 to 1 second long.
  • Too short = glitchy effect. Try stretching it slightly if needed.
• Step 5: Add a Background Layer (Optional but Effective)
  • If you're using PNGs or transparent clips, do this:
    • Go to Library > Backgrounds.
    • Drag a white or black solid to the track below your clips.
    • Extend it to match the length of both clips.
  • This prevents ghosting of the previous image due to transparent areas.
• Step 6: Test Your Transition
  • Play through the section. You should see a clean "page turning" effect without the previous image sticking.
  • If you still see remnants, try switching to another page effect (like "3D Flip" or "Book").

Below is a step-by-step image guide to fix the Page Turning issue in CapCut.

Here are some of the other common causes why this might happen and how to fix them:

1. Insufficient Clip Length:

   • Why: Transitions need "handles" – a bit of extra footage before the end of the first clip and after the start of the second clip – to work smoothly. If either clip is too short right at the point where the transition is applied, CapCut might struggle to render the effect correctly, potentially leaving remnants of the previous clip visible.
   • How to Fix:
     • Make sure the clips on either side of the transition are long enough.
     • Try trimming the clips slightly away from the transition point (making them effectively longer where the transition occurs). If you've trimmed them right to the very end/beginning of the original media, extend them back a little if possible.
     • If the clips are static images, try extending their duration on the timeline.

2. Transition Placement:

   • Why: Ensure the transition is placed precisely between two separate clips on the same track. If it's slightly off or overlapping in an unusual way, it might cause rendering issues.
   • How to Fix:
     • Delete the problematic "Page Turning" transition (select it and tap the delete/trash icon).
     • Make sure there's a clean cut between the two clips.
     • Tap the small white box icon between the clips where you want the transition.
     • Re-select and apply the "Page Turning" transition.

3. Overlapping Layers or Tracks:

   • Why: If you have other videos, images, overlays, or text layers on tracks above or below the track with the transition, and their timing coincides with the transition, they might interfere or show through unexpectedly. The page turn effect might only be applying to the main track, leaving layers below visible.
   • How to Fix:
     • Carefully examine all other tracks around the point where the transition occurs.
     • Check if any elements on other tracks overlap with the duration of the transition.
     • If you find overlapping elements, either trim them so they don't overlap with the transition, move them, or temporarily hide/disable those tracks to see if they are the cause.

4. Transition Duration:

   • Why: Sometimes, a very long transition duration combined with relatively short clips can cause visual glitches.
   • How to Fix:
     • Select the transition icon on the timeline.
     • Adjust the 'Duration' slider. Try making the transition shorter and see if that resolves the lingering image issue.

5. App Glitch or Cache:

   • Occasionally, the app might encounter a temporary glitch, or its cache might cause rendering problems.
   • How to Fix:
     • Restart CapCut: Close the app completely (force close if necessary) and reopen it. Reload your project.
     • Restart Device: Sometimes a simple device restart can clear temporary issues.
     • Clear Cache (Mobile): If you're on mobile, go to your phone's Settings > Apps > CapCut > Storage > Clear Cache. (Be careful not to clear 'Data' unless you have backups, as this might delete projects). The exact steps vary by phone OS.
     • Update CapCut: Check if there's an update available for CapCut in your app store. Updates often fix bugs.

6. Specific Transition Bug:

   • It's possible (though less common) that the specific "Page Turning" transition has a bug in the version of CapCut you are using.
   • How to Fix:
     • Try using a different, similar transition (like another type of page turn, a slide, or a wipe) temporarily. Does the problem disappear? If yes, it might be specific to the original transition. Report the bug to CapCut if possible and use an alternative in the meantime.

Troubleshooting Steps Summary:

1. Check and adjust the length of the clips surrounding the transition.
2. Delete and re-apply the transition correctly between the clips.
3. Look for and adjust any overlapping elements on other tracks.
4. Try shortening the transition's duration.
5. Restart CapCut and your device; consider clearing the cache or updating the app.
6. Test with a different transition to isolate the issue.

Start with the simplest fixes (checking placement and clip length) and work your way through the list. Hopefully, one of these steps will resolve the lingering image problem.
