+As soon as a streamed scene arrives, the player starts warming its template and

 Undefined or unknown transition names preserve a hard cut and unmodified local

First-class atmospheric mode.\n *   - When mediaUrl is empty, 404s, is blocked, or Pexels search returned\n *     nothing, the gradient shows through cleanly and no scrim is painted —\n *     a scrim over a bare gradient is just a muddy gradient.
