# init(ciFilter:duration:)

Creates a transition that uses a Core Image filter to perform the transition.

## Declaration

```swift
init(ciFilter filter: CIFilter, duration sec: TimeInterval)
```

## Parameters

- `filter`: A Core Image filter.
- `sec`: The duration of the transition.

## Return Value

Return Value A new transition.

## Discussion

Discussion The filter used to perform the transition must a be filter that requires only two image parameters (inputImage, inputTargetImage) and generates a single image (outputImage). The transition automatically sets the filter’s inputImage, inputTargetImage, and inputTime properties. You must set up any other filter properties before creating the transition.
