Camera Movement Plugins for Final Cut Pro

3D Swing

Adjustment layer that swings the clips below in real perspective, like a door opening or a screen laying back. Drag the crosshair to set the pivot, then pick swing in, out or through.

Camera Roll

Adjustment layer that tilts the shot underneath into a dutch angle around a fixed pivot. Drag the lollipop handle to set the roll angle and choose roll in, roll out or through.

Camera Shake

Adjustment layer that shakes everything below it, so one shake covers several clips at once. Set shake amount, frequency and rotation, and add motion blur for heavier hits.

Crash Zoom

Adjustment layer that punches into the clips below, holds, then pulls back out. Drag the crosshair to the punch point and pick an ease (overshoot, elastic, snap) for each side.

Custom Move

Adjustment layer that moves from a start framing to a target framing with no keyframes. Use the viewer handles to draw the target: crosshair for position, ring for zoom, lollipop for roll.

Dolly Zoom

Adjustment layer that pushes in or pulls back on the clips below. Drag the crosshair in the viewer to pick where it zooms, use the ring for amount and the lollipop for a dutch roll.

Handheld Camera

Adjustment layer that adds handheld camera motion to every clip below it. Start from a preset (Documentary, Run & Gun, Drone Hover, Party) and tune intensity, speed and breathing.

Horizontal Pan

Adjustment layer that pans across the clips below it, left to right or right to left. Set the pan distance and easing, with optional motion blur, and stretch it over several clips at once.

Orbit

Adjustment layer that moves the frame below along a circular path. Drag the crosshair to set the orbit center, then set the sweep angle and radius; zoom is raised to hide the edges.

Straight Cut

Adjustment layer for jump-cut reframes: it instantly zooms, moves or rotates the shot below with no animation. Drag the handles in the viewer to frame it and let the edit make the cut.

Vertical Tilt

Adjustment layer that tilts up or down across the clips below it. Set the tilt distance, direction and easing, with optional motion blur, and stretch it over several clips at once.

Zoom + Focus

Adjustment layer that zooms the clips below while racking focus. Drag the crosshair to the focal point, then choose a focus mode (land, quick rack, breathe) and a blur type.

Camera Shake

Drop it on a single clip to shake just that shot. Set shake amount, frequency and rotation, plus motion blur. For a shake across several clips at once, use the title version instead.

Dolly Zoom

Drop it on one clip for a push-in or pull-back on that shot only. Set the focal point, zoom amount and roll in the inspector. The title version adds handles in the viewer.

Handheld Camera

Drop it on one clip to give that shot handheld motion. Pick a preset (Documentary, Shoulder Rig, Gimbal Float...), then adjust intensity and speed. Ramps in and out smoothly.

Horizontal Pan

Drop it on a single clip to pan across it, left to right or right to left. Set pan distance, easing and motion blur. For a pan spanning several clips, use the title version.

Vertical Tilt

Drop it on a single clip to tilt up or down across it. Set tilt distance, direction and easing, plus motion blur. For a tilt spanning several clips, use the title version.

Zoom + Focus

Drop it on one clip to zoom in or out while racking focus on that shot only. Set the focal point, defocus amount and blur type (Gaussian, Bokeh, Dreamy) in the inspector.
