Shape Pop’s Transitions Get Your Video in Tip-Top Shape

So you’ve already got a sweet video with crisp footage, bold captions, awe-inspiring effects…you name it. But something’s missing.

Ah, right; clean, seamless transitions that blend perfectly with your video, adding to its appeal without becoming a distraction. That, my friend, is where Shape Pop comes in.

Shape Pop is perfect for just about any project, especially clips with lots of action. Check out this video by one of my customers showing off Shape Pop as he cruises through the Gulf of Mexico on a jet ski:

What is Shape Pop?

The shapes that come with Final Cut Pro are limited and, let’s face it, they suck! Enter Shape Pop, a plugin packed with 69 fully customizable shapes and transitions that blow the default options out of the water. 

You get 39 different shapes, including squares, rectangles, diamonds, circles, drops, ovals, rings, triangles, lines, symbols, polygons, and even 3D shapes like cubes, spheres, cones, and a ton more. With Shape Pop, creativity knows no bounds. 

Pick and choose built-in animations, tweak position, size rotation, and customize each shape’s look with colors, opacity, feathered edges, outlines, text and drop shadows. 

Create your own custom shapes—whether it’s a unique quadrilateral (I know, that’s a big word for 4-sided figure), a distinct triangle, or a complex shape of your design. 

Shape Pop also packs 3 powerful effects to animate, outline, and add 3D extrusion to your custom creations. 

Need more flair in your transitions? Shape Pop has got you covered with 30 shape-based transitions that will make your edits smoother and more dynamic than ever.

The best part is, you don’t even need a master’s degree to understand Shape Pop. You can literally toss the plugin into your project and have your shapes or transitions finalized and perfected in seconds.

Why Shape Pop?

Besides being really awesome, there are tons of reasons you might want to use Shape Pop. But I originally made this FCP plugin because of 3 big factors:

1. I didn’t have time to make shapes & transitions by hand for every project, and I didn’t have enough money to hire someone to do it for me
2. I wanted to add a unique transition to my videos that looked great without becoming a distraction
3. And this is the big one…I was so tired of using complicated tools and plugins that didn’t do what they said they did, or were harder to use than shoving a round peg in a square hole

I made Shape Pop for myself, but it turns out I wasn’t the only videographer who craved cool transitions and shapes (minus the hassle). If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

Installing and using Shape Pop is a breeze

Shape Pop and its other Stupid Raisins buddies live on the Stupid Raisins engine, a free resource for distributing the best FCP plugins on the planet. Give it a download and grab your free Shape Pop demo to see just how cool the plugin really is.

When you’re ready for the full version, you can easily download Shape Pop through Stupid Raisins. You can find it under your Titles, Effects & Transitions as Shape Pop.

When you’re ready to add cutting-edge shapes & transitions to your project, just drag the transition between two clips and you’re ready to go. Really, that’s it.
