Hello,
A client of mine wants to add some water / liquid transitions to a slide show he is editing. For reference, we have used the "ripple" transition that comes stock in FCP, but he is looking for others along the line of that.
I never really delve too far into the world of transitions and plug-ins, but I imagine there must be some sort of package I can buy that will include a few variations on water transitions. If anyone can recommend one to me I would greatly appreciate it.
I am using FCP 6.0.3 if that makes a difference.

Access to After Effects?
Super-realistic water ripples are easily created in Wave World. This is a generation system that creates grayscale movies that are used by other filters such as Colorama or Displacement.
I love Wave World.

I do have access to After Effects and that seems to be where all the good transitions are. However I am trying to avoid the whole export/import multiple applications thing just because I know I will have to be making little tweaks as I progress though.
It may come down to After Effects if I cant find anything simpler but right now Im hoping for some basic FCP transitions with a few adjustable parameters.

Check out CGM. They have a number of wave transitions that they call dissolves. Also Stib's Transitions has one. BorisFX has a bunch and CHV's Distorion Collection. Google those and the sites should pop up.

I checked my documentation and here's the link for Stib's Transitions http://www.fxscript.org
If that doesn't work email Stib at: stib AT fxscript DOT org,
If that doesn't work, I can send you the latest Stib's that I have. His license (which follows) allows free distribution of the plugins. Let me know how to contact you.
