The Editor's Animation Tool
MovingParts is a simple plug-in that will animate images and effects over your video, directly from your editor's timeline. Designed for editors, MovingParts is fast and easy to use-- and it produces high-quality output.
It's great for animating logos and other images, creating animatics, highlighting action, blurring or pixelating faces-- and doing it quickly and easily. MovingParts will move, size, and rotate up to 32 independent images, overlaid onto the motion video beneath it.
Each moving image can be used as a "brush," to create effects like blurring and pixelization for highlighting or obscuring parts of the video, and can also track the video's motion.
Click on image for larger version of picture (Mac version)MovingParts is very easy to use: Load the image you want to animate. Drag and size and rotate a framing box icon on top of the image until it appears the way you want it. Keep adding these key frames onto the timeline as you go.
Since you can preview the animation in real time without any rendering, the design process is very rapid. All motion paths are smooth, splined, and tapered. Motion is field-rendered to sub-pixel accuracies.
