Dylan Bates (The Final Cut Bro) has released a new product called Ultimate Glitch Transitions for Final Cut Pro | Vol. 1
You can use the discount code Glitch20 to get 20% off at checkout.
Dylan writes:
Hey fam, if you've been editing in Final Cut Pro for any length of time, there's a good chance you've run into an issue with transitions. When you apply a transition onto an overlying layer like a title or logo graphic, it almost always takes over the entire timeline, regardless of what you are applying it to.
THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY.
This week, I released a brand new glitch transition pack. But whenever I release a new plugin, I want it to solve problems that we have as everyday editors in Final Cut Pro.
So my goal with this pack was to solve that exact problem. And I am happy to report, that it was a success!
My new Glitch Transition pack allows you to enable / disable whether or not you want to apply it to the rest of the timeline.
PLUS it comes with 20 variations of glitches, as well as an enormous amount of customization. So the possibilities truly are endless!
You can learn more and purchase on Dylan's Gumroad Store.
