Independent developer, Alex Gollner, has introduced Alex4D Animation Transitions, a
brand new plugin pack for Apple’s Final Cut Pro X video editing software. Alex4D
Animation Transitions is a kit that editors can use to instantly animate video clips,
graphics, pictures and text. It allows users to use animation, add character to logos, titles and other story elements in the Final Cut Pro X timeline.
In Final Cut Pro X, users add transitions to clips by dragging and dropping or just
double-clicking transitions in an on-screen browser. Alex4D Animation Transitions
add animation to still images, on-screen text and any video element. Clips can be
made to fly, bounce, skid, grow, shrink and flip onto the screen – on their own, or
over other elements. The transitions can also animate clips off the screen in the
same ways.
“Alex4D Animation Transitions was created for every kind of filmmaker,” explains
Gollner. “Editors, graphic designers, educators, and all sorts of business people use
video editing software to tell their stories. These people need a range of tools,
depending on what stories they are telling. Alex4D Animation Transitions can both
be used to create complex motion graphics-based title sequences and be used to
add subtle effects to direct the audience’s view to the right part of the screen. Users need only spend a few seconds applying Alex4D Animation Transitions so they can get back to telling their story, or spend hours using them to create complex multi-layer animations.”
Alex4D Animation Transitions comes with 120 plugins. Transitions range from subtle
and straightforward presets for editors who want quick results, to complex and
customisable presets for designers who want instant advanced motion graphics in
the Final Cut Pro X timeline.
Alex4D Animation Transitions is distributed via the FxFactory post-production app
store. Users can download the free FxFactory application and use it to install trial
versions of the 120 transitions to make them available in Final Cut Pro X. Once
users have tried the watermarked transitions in their productions, they can use a
credit card to unlock Alex4D Animation Transitions, removing the watermarks
before final export.
