Kaleidoscope transitions for Final Cut Pro

Overview

Kaleido Transitions is a collection of kaleidoscope-themed transitions for Final Cut Pro. Drag one between two clips and the shots break into mirrored kaleidoscope patterns.

Adjust the amount of the kaleidoscope effect horizontally and vertically, how far it shifts, and the angle of the animation.

Every setting has its own delay and speed controls, and Animation.Ease sets how smoothly the moves start and end.

They work best at about 2 seconds or longer.

Features

Kaleidoscope presets: around 25 ready-made transitions.
Horizontal and vertical amount: how strong the kaleidoscope is on each axis.
Shift and angle: Shift.X, Shift.Y and Angle.
Timing: Delay.In, Speed.In, Delay.Out and Speed.Out.
Background: BG.Opacity and BG.Color for some angle settings.
Animation.Ease: smooth or snappy moves.

FAQ

How long should the transition be?

They work best at about 2 seconds or longer.

Final Cut Pro asks me to create a transition. What should I do?

Click Create Transition. Your clips need extra media at their ends, so you may also want to adjust their in and out points.

Can I change the pattern?

Yes. Adjust Horizontal.Amount, Vertical.Amount, Shift and Angle.

Can I change the speed?

Yes. Change the transition's length, or use the delay and speed controls.

Is Kaleido Transitions part of the MEGA BUNDLE?

Yes. It's one of the 80+ plugins in the MEGA BUNDLE, a $1,600+ value, for $80.

Is there a deal on individual plugins?
