Fast slideshow and montage transitions for Final Cut Pro

Overview

Shifter is a collection of stylish, easy-to-use Final Cut Pro transitions that are great for quickly creating slideshows and montages.

Each transition shifts the shot up, down, left or right, with optional zoom and rotation. They were designed to render quickly.

Customize the direction, the amount of zoom and rotation, and when each move happens, with an ease control for smooth or snappy starts and stops.

Every preset comes with or without motion blur. The No Motion Blur versions render a bit faster.

Features

Shifting transitions: up, down, left and right.
Zoom and rotate: amount, delay and speed for each.
Timing: Shift.Delay and Shift.Speed, plus Ease.
Motion blur or none: the No Motion Blur versions render faster.
Fast rendering: designed to render quickly.
Drag and drop: set the speed by changing the transition's length.

How to use

In the Transitions browser sidebar, click My FCPeffects, then Shifter (scroll down if needed).
