smpte
smpte can accept I420 video streams with the same width, height and framerate. The two incoming buffers are blended together using an effect specific alpha mask.
The GstSMPTE:depth property defines the presision in bits of the mask. A higher presision will create a mask with smoother gradients in order to avoid banding.
Sample pipelines
 gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc pattern=1 ! smpte name=s border=20000 type=234 duration=2000000000 ! videoconvert ! ximagesink videotestsrc ! s.
A pipeline to demonstrate the smpte transition. It shows a pinwheel transition a from a snow videotestsrc to an smpte pattern videotestsrc. The transition will take 2 seconds to complete. The edges of the transition are smoothed with a 20000 big border.
