Photo Animations Made Easy

The principle behind Photo Montage is simple: select a transition style and a few of your photos, and let the plugin do the rest.

Rearranging photos or setting the duration of each slide can be done in seconds, thanks to an intuitive configuration UI:

Image Configuration Window

Ease of use does not imply limited functionality. A full array of effect parameters allows expert users to create unique animations.

Key Features

• Keyframing optional: no keyframes are required for animation. Set durations for pause and transition, and leave the hard work to the plugin.

• All popular image formats are supported: including JPEG, PNG and PSD.

• Easy re-ordering and re-timing: customize the order and duration of each photo without wasting precious time renaming files or resizing tracks on the timeline.

• Excellent support for titling: assign titles to each image and customize how and where these titles appear in the final output.

• More than a hundred presets available: no easier way to explore our product and find the desired look for your project.

• Built-in motion blurring: create high-quality animations at any frame rate with built-in motion blur available in all effects.
