Shape Flow: Game-Changing Video Transition You Need to Know About

With just a quick drag and drop action, I achieved a stunning reveal effect that was ready to use right away. Pretty amazing, huh? And that's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what the Shape Flow tool can do!

To access the new Shape Flow tool, please ensure that you have the latest version of Film Impact installed. 

Additionally, please note that this feature is only available with The Big Bang plan.

Now, let me show you some examples of how you can use the smart Shape Flow tool to create a true masterpiece!

Growing Trees

Growing Trees is one of the most impressive examples of the power of the Shape Flow tool. It lets you create a stunning effect that simulates the growth of a tree, from its roots to its branches and leaves. 

By adjusting the start point and a few other settings like Edge Delay, Luma Detail, Object Delay, and Object Variation, you can make the tree grow in a way that looks natural and captivating. Whether you're working on a nature documentary or a creative video project, using the Shape Flow tool to create a growing tree effect can add an extra layer of depth and meaning to your visuals. 

Hand-Drawn Images

With Shape Flow, you can transform a boring static hand-drawn image into a dynamic animation in a matter of seconds. The tool provides a seamless way to add life and movement to your artwork, making it perfect for use in presentations, video intros, or social media posts.

By adjusting the start point, you can easily choose the point at which the drawing will begin to animate, allowing you to add an element of surprise or suspense to your video. The Edge Delay and Luma Detail settings allow you to control how the ink lines appear and disappear, giving you full creative control over the animation.

What's more, the Object Delay and Object Variation settings let you add unique flourishes and movement to your animation. You can make your lines appear in a sequence, creating a ripple effect, or add variation to the timing of the animation for a more organic and hand-drawn feel.

Colored Trails

Spark your videos with vibrant colors! One of the most impressive capabilities of Shape Flow is the option to add colorful trails to your transitions. The "tri-tone" feature in Shape Flow allows you to customize the colors to your liking, giving you complete creative control. You can select from a wide range of hues and create a reveal that truly represents your brand or message.

But it doesn't stop there - you can also adjust the length and feather amount of the trails to create a unique effect. Whether you want a quick burst of color or a longer-lasting trail, Shape Flow gives you the ability to make your vision a reality!
