160+ built-in presets help you match the look of your projects, making any configuration completely optional. If you need to customize the animation, you will discover a rich, and yet accessible set of parameters.

What’s New in This Version?

  • Videos and photos can be mixed seamlessly to create one smooth sequence.
  • Perceptual color blending joins Wide Gamut HDR support for natural looks and the highest output quality at every step.
  • Non-destructive crop lets you select the visible portion of a photo or movie without a round-trip to a separate app.
  • Pan and Zoom animations with full control: set custom regions when AI fails to identify the correct regions in your photos and videos.
  • Improved transitions with perceptual color support for better output.
  • New Radial Dissolve transition with a focus on animation and quality.
  • New Wormhole and Nebula procedural backgrounds enable smooth and sophisticated looks, especially when coupled with border aging and perceptual color blending.
  • Border effects and aging have been greatly improved, unlocking new ways to crop and blend photos with the background.
  • Better drop shadows with customizable blend modes, 3D perspective and the option to create glow effects.

Key Features

  • No keyframes required! Set a duration for each photo or video clip, and for the transition, and leave the hard work to the plug-in.
  • No need to edit your timeline just because you want to change the order in which photos appear. Rearrange and set custom duration through a simple, intuitive UI.
  • JPEG, PNG, PSD, OpenEXR, HEIC and more graphics formats supported.
  • 160+ presets included to help you match the look of your projects.
  • Built-in motion blur creates high-quality animations at any frame rate.
  • Pervasive use of perceptual color blending to create a more natural, beautiful output.
  • Easy, yet customizable: whether you prefer a "set it and forget it" approach or want to customize every aspect of the animation, you will find a powerful tool in Photo Montage 4.
  • Lost? Read the docs. A full manual is included and accessible in a single click, straight from the inspector.
