Colorful cycling text and clip animations for Final Cut Pro

Overview

Color Cycler is a Final Cut Pro title plugin that makes it quick to add fun, stylish, colorful animations and text to your videos. It cycles your clip through up to six color versions, with or without text.

Each version has its own text color, text background, tint and colorize settings, so you can create bold pop-art style looks.

No keyframing is needed. Choose your colors, and the length of the title in your timeline sets how fast the versions change.

Move, rotate and style the text and its rounded backgrounds right in the Inspector.

Features

Up to six color versions: cycle through 1 to 6 versions of your clip.
With or without text: presets for both.
Per-version colors: text, text background, tint and colorize for each version.
Text backgrounds: width, height, roundness and feather.
No keyframing: the title's length sets the speed.
Text position and rotation: place and angle your text.
