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 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.
