Red Giant Universe 2.0 - no more free lunch

You probably already heard, but...

Red Giant Universe had been a consistently-updated mix of free and subscription effects for Adobe After Effect, Premiere Pro, and related apps like Hitfilm Pro, Final Cut Pro X, and DaVinci Resolve. With the new Universe 2.0, Red Giant removed the less popular plug-ins -- and will no longer offer free tools!

Whip (swish) pans in After Effects & Premiere

re-post of some tools and tutorials

A whip or swish pan describes the motion of a fast camera move, as in following a passing train or spaceship. Because of motion blur, it's most often used to smooth transitions between abrupt cuts of shots or scenes. While this is often done in post, Adobe doesn't include dedicated tools for this effect, so here are some 3rd-party filters and tutorials you can use to construct whip pan transitions in After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Here's an example from a newer FREE tool from Red Giant Universe:

After Effects-customized transitions for NLEs

Rob Mize has a new After Effects tutorial video on how to Create Customized Transitions for editing systems like Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and Avid. Rob uses Auto-Trace and the "Puppet Tool to animate a bug graphic; then uses CC Particle World to duplicate and control the graphic for the transition."
