• The MIXER. The powerful MIXER control creates beautiful directional dissolves. Use it to blend the spice geometries with a luminance-based dissolve transition that ties visually into your subject/scene!

• Soft/Organic Title Effects and Picture-In-Picture Effects (PIPs). Apply animated soft/organic spice effects to text, titles, logos, and picture-in-picture effects (PIPs), giving you many more creative options than 'old' standards.

• EASY Bezier Keyframing. Smoothly accelerate or decelerate virtually any SpiceMaster quality with just a few clicks. Each control is individually keyframable.

SpiceMaster Plugin Overview

 

If you watch only one SpiceMaster movie, see this. It shows many uses of SpiceMaster's custom soft/organic transitions. It also shows compelling examples of how spices can softly/organically animate your video editing software's OTHER effects (built-in or third-party plugins) within a single clip. Throughout the movie are soft/organic title effects from SpiceMaster PRO. Plus a cool example of the PRO version's soft/organic picture-in-picture (PIP) effects. Enjoy!

• The Compelling Power of Softness for Video Transitions. Softness is a simple but compelling treatment that the SpiceMaster plugins specialize in. It is a key advantage over most other video transitions and effects. SpiceMaster provides up to five types of adjustable softness -- use individually or blend them. Even for pure "cuts and dissolves" projects, SpiceMaster's ultra-soft 'directional' dissolves can add a wonderfully subtle hint of movement or geometry to lead the viewer's eye.

• Cutting-Edge Organic Effect Looks. SpiceMaster's huge range of organic effects/transition geometries include bursts, climatics, plasmas, erosions, strokes, vapors, etc. These can be ideal for cutting-edge effects in music videos, sports videos, wedding videos, corporate videos, etc. Apply them as an organic video transition between two clips or as an organic video effects animation in a SINGLE clip (see below).

• Customize/Animate Virtually ANY OTHER Video Effect. In seconds, you can easily control and animate where color changes, blurs, distortions, or ANY OTHER video effects (built-in or 3rd-party) appear within a SINGLE clip's image (as shown below) -- an VERY useful capability that leverages the power of all of your built-in video effects and effects plugins.

• The Amazing MIXER. The Mixer is an easy-to-use control that can mix any spice geometry you choose with elements in your scene -- a great way to add organic flow when you want your transition or effect animation to strongly relate to your imagery.

• Unique Animated/Soft/Organic PIPs. No longer must you limit PIP effects (picture-in-picture effects) to hard-edged rectangles. SpiceMaster PRO can easily frame PIPs with a different shape, soft edge, glow, organic border, shadow, special texture, or numerous other edge treatments. You can even create PIPs with organic shapes that animate!

• Soft/Organic Text Effects for Titles & Graphics. SpiceMaster PRO powerfully supplements your built-in titler or title software. Reveal or hide text, titles, logos, lower-thirds, etc. with a beautiful 'directional' dissolve or a flowing, organic edge. Blend and animate content, colors, highlights, effects, etc. WITHIN text. Feather text rolls/crawls seamlessly as they enter or leave the frame, a graphic, or a PIP to add a classy touch.
