Creation Effects: ShapeShift

Create mesmerizing 3D transitions with rotating shapes in your footage!

The ShapeShift template allows users to create mind-bending 3D transformations in your footage in Adobe After Effects. These transformations can be used as transition effects or just as a unique, hypnotic effect in your video that gets the viewers’ attention.

ShapeShift works by projecting your footage onto the sides of a group of 3D shapes. As your camera orbits around the shapes, there’s a mesmerizing illusion of transformation in your footage. With multiple presets featuring a variety of shapes, you’ll be able to quickly render a variety of unique transitions. Or, you can get creative with the “Shape Library”, and build your own unique designs!
