Transitions

smooth glow transition

Drop smooth glow transition between two clips and it does the work of a widescreen (16:9) transition: 4 layers, already stacked. Every layer keeps its name and stacking order, so editing it later is swapping content, not untangling a comp. The plugin pastes it into After Effects in one motion.

This transition pastes straight into your timeline via MotionPotion, a free plugin for After Effects: get it free, no card needed.
