Effects
All features
The Effects tab is a searchable library of effects, transitions, and filters for your captions and clips. Search by name, then apply to the selected layers.
After Effects
Effects library: One-click visual effects for caption text and video, grouped by category.
- Shadow: shadow, faux 3D, gradient box
- Distortion: wiggle, warp, glass, chrome
- Light: glow, flicker, vignette, shine
- Particles: sparkles, hearts, grunge
- Textures: pop art, stone dust, glow lines
Captions transitions: Transitions applied inside each caption's own time range.
- Transitions: fade, glitch, distortion, wipe, particles, simulation
- Entrance and exit: glow, light cut, light sweep, light burst
- Length in frames, from 1 to 80, default 10
B-roll Transitions: Fade, rotate, zoom, slide, glitch, and liquid, with an edit mode and work-area controls to fine-tune them.
Filters: Color-grading and LUT-style looks grouped by use case (cinematic, black and white, creative, photo repair, landscape, portraits, urban, and more).
Add on Top: Stack a new effect or filter on top of the existing ones instead of replacing them.
User Presets: Save any FFX file as a preset with an auto-generated preview, organize it by category, and apply it with one click. Export your whole set as a single .mcfx file to import elsewhere.
Premiere
Premiere has its own effects and transitions library, applied from the panel to the MotionCaption caption clips you select. After Effects adds filters, a larger transition and effect set, Add on Top, and User Presets.
