Ever wanted to do iTunes Cover Flow in FCP/FCE/Motion? Now you can.

All,

Well, the title says it all, have you ever wanted to get that Itunes style cover flow effect for stills to work in FCP/FCE/Motion.

Well now you can and you can do it for free!

I've written a little plugin called CoverFlux that takes up to 25 images and displays them in the 'fan carousel' exactly like iTunes or the Leopard finder. and yes, it is completely free, so please use it to make money/have fun or just produce some stunning graphics.

Please take a look here :- CoverFlux
Enjoy!

Peter


ps any screen grabs of it in action would be appreciated :)

David,

It is only stills at the moment, sorry :(

A video version might come in the future but I'd have to work out all the timings of when to roll the clips etc. Not impossible though.

Peter

Thanks for the great work on this plug in.
I can't believe this is a free one!

I just used it for a photo montage for my wife's grandfather's 80th birthday.

I didn't dig too deep into it yet, but I was wondering if I can add elements behind the photos.
Like a master "background" photo/image or logo.

looked more closely at parameters, and found that you can turn off black background, making it able to put anything you want back there. Great feature!
