London, United Kingdom - Independent developer Alex Gollner has announced Alex4D Animation Transitions, a brand new plugin pack for Apple's Final Cut Pro X video editing software. Alex4D Animation Transitions is a kit that editors can use to instantly animate video clips, graphics, pictures and text. It allows users to use animation to add character to logos, titles and other story elements in the Final Cut Pro X timeline.

Transitions are used in editing software to 'transition' from one shot to the next as the video plays. In Final Cut Pro X, users add transitions to shot by dragging and dropping transitions from an on-screen browser to the timeline. Each of the 120 Alex4D Animation Transitions adds animation to still images, on-screen text and video elements. Clips can be made to fly, bounce, skid, grow, shrink and flip onto the screen - on their own, or overlaid on top of other elements. Alex4D Animation Transitions can also animate clips off the screen in the same ways.

Alex4D Animation Transitions comes with 120 plugins. The transitions range from subtle and straightforward presets for editors who want quick results to complex and fully-customisable presets for designers who want instant advanced motion graphics in their Final Cut Pro X timeline.

"I made Alex4D Animation Transitions for every kind of film maker," explains independent developer Alex Gollner. "Editors, graphic designers, educators, and all sorts of businesspeople use video editing software to tell their stories. These people need flexible tools, able to support all kinds of storytelling. Alex4D Animation Transitions can be used to add subtle effects to direct the audience's view to a specific part of the screen. Alex4D Animation Transitions can also be used to create complex motion graphics-based title sequences that quickly introduce audiences to the world of the story. Users need only spend a few seconds applying Alex4D Animation Transitions so they can get back to telling their story, or spend hours using them to create complex multi-layer animations."
