1. Hundreds of Soft/Organic Customizable Transitions
SpiceMASTER provides an almost infinite range of fresh transitions since every spice effect is fully customizable. Easily create ultra-soft, subtle 'directional' dissolves which add a subtle hint of movement or geometry to lead the viewer's eye. Or organic transitions such as bursts, climatics, plasmas, erosions, strokes, vapors ideal for cutting-edge looks in music or sports videos, promotional work, multimedia, etc. |

   | |
| | A SpiceMASTER 'directional' dissolve from top left softly reveals the sunset, providing subtle movement and curvature in the dissolve to match the arm action. |
| This organic SpiceMASTER PRO transition adds subtle rays to reveal the athlete. The effect's center is keyframed in SM PRO to move right slightly with the subject. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | |
| | SpiceMASTER organically and softly reveals the sunset outward from the eye while fading the eye clip. |
| To accentuate the liquid theme, a soft semitransparent white border radiates outward organically, strengthening as the next clip is revealed. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | |
| | An elegant water ripple transition by SM PRO. Note the effect has been positioned off-center directly over the eye -- easily done in one click. |
| SpiceMASTER can easily create organic transitions that match the geometry of your scene's action, as shown above. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | |
| | A fog-like effect in SpiceMASTER PRO is enhanced with bevels to create this textured reveal. |
| In this action scene, the snow-like texture elements of the SpiceMASTER transition reveal the skier in a dynamic manner. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | |
| | A fire-like multicolor border effect in SpiceMASTER burns away the first
clip to organically reveal the second clip. |
| A drop shadow adds definition to the organic reveal of sunset . Note that the sunset clip (and shadow) increase in opacity during the effect. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | |
| | Traditional slide, push or drop transitions can take on a fresh, elegant character via SpiceMASTER's bezier controls. |
| A slide transition enhanced by SpiceMASTER's ability to simultaneously vary the incoming clip's transparency via keyframing. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | |
| | Texture combined with beveling in SpiceMASTER PRO provides a unique depth effect to the incoming ski clip. |
| In this example, beveling adds depth to the incoming clip, giving the transition a motion-graphics flavor. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | |
| | Soft, subtle transitions revealing text or other design elements can be positioned easily and visually in SM. |
| An organic reveal with a drop shadow adds a unique 'layered' look to the clip transition. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | |
| | SpiceMASTER's texture shimmers this organic transition's edge as it closes toward the subject. The first clip's transparency subtly increases too via SpiceMASTER. |
| A multicolor organic border effect creates a simulated blast ray that fades toward the transition's end. Note the effect tracks left with the eye as the statue pans. |

| 2. The Power to Customize/Animate OTHER Video Effects
Gain new power and control over ALL video effects/filters and keys in your editing system (built-in or third-party). Use SpiceMASTER to easily position, animate, and enhance them in your scenes, without wasting time creating special mattes or detouring into a complex motion graphics program. Organically/softly animating other effects is tremendously useful for a wide range of productions and is easily done SpiceMASTER. |
| |
| |
| |
|
| |  |
| | | | | Organically introduce and animate effects (in this example a color change and edge sharpening) from your subject, flowing the effect outward to the frame edge. |
| Dramatize the center of action by softly animating where subtle brightness changes occur. The soft effect with a blue glow also tracks the falling skier's movement. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | | | | Softly open and close effects timed with your action. Here, a blur and brightness strengthen over the eye and then disappear with the blink, using SpiceMASTER's bezier keyframing for precise timing. |
| Animate an effect with an organic glow along its edge as it opens. Or apply a shadow, texture, border, or other edge enhancements to the effect region. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | | | | SpiceMASTER can also organically reveal/remove a key. Here, the statue's luster is revealed by organically removing a chroma key fill of dark gold in a lower clip. The electric border is also from SM. |
| In SpiceMASTER PRO, you can easily keyframe an effect's position over time to follow your moving subject, as shown by this example that follows the tumbling skier. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
|
| | | | A color changes is a common effect that has new visual dynamics when animating it within the image -- an easy job for SpiceMASTER in just a few clicks. |
| SpiceMASTER's ability to add realistic drop shadows to the animated effect's edge can create the illusion of layered video imagery. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | | | | A luminance key through a cloud clip semi-transparently shows the eye clip -- SM then organically strips the key away in a similar cloud-like fashion with a softened OrganicFX\Climatics spice. |
| Timed with the subject's arm action, SpiceMASTER organically introduces from the upper corner a chroma key of the sky's blue to reveal the lower clip -- an abstract, blue streaky background. |
| |
| |
|
|  |
| | | | | SpiceMASTER organically and softly flows a screen key outward from the eye to progressive reveal more of the lower clip -- a sunset. |
| SpiceMASTER's numerous Edge and Depth controls can be applied directly to a single clip to produce a huge range of quick/easy animation, distortion, and texture effects! |
