Zoom-in Online

3D-Explode will explode or implode a video clip to reveal a clip beneath or it can be used by itself over a black background. There is complete control of the direction and motion of the effect. You can tumble, spin and rotate (X - Y - Z Rotation) then entire effect as well. Explode 3D is actually two different plugins, a Transition and a Filter version which are found in the Video Transition bin and in the Video Filters bin in the FCP Effects browser. The Transition plugin can be applied to the edit point between two clips or at the tail or head of two contiguous clips. The 3D Explode filter is applied to an entire clip like any other FCP filter.

The 3D Explode works by creating tiles from the original video image. The video image is cut into rows and columns creating tiles, the number of rows and columns and therefore the number of actual tiles is set by the user, these attributes like all of the controls for this plugin are Keyframeable. Perspective (camera angle), Radius which defines the amount of space that the effect will work in, Variation which controls the random nature off the effect and Global Acceleration which controls the starting and ending speed of the effect is like 'Ease In/Ease Out' in FCP.
