    Hi Everyone,

    I’m working on a promotional project and was wondering
    if anyone could point me in the right direction as to the
    posssible plug-ins used for the swirl transitions on this project:

    It looks like it was partially done in after effects and the other graphics were generated by another program. Any help or tips would
    be appreciated.

    At first look you could do most of that using animated masks..

    the swirl, were not re-shaping that much, just moving left to right..

    and by the looks of things they had only animated the big ones once and then just moved their position..

    once you have a few of those.. you can also use them as masks.. with a bit of clever pre comping

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks so much responding. So if I go in and make those swirl shapes with animated masks I can then duplicate, resize and reshape them? I was thinking that the plugin, that had at least a template for those nice wipes, was digital trove PRIME which has a swirl/ push effect, but I couldn’t get it working correctly. The swirls are so smooth and shaped well I though it had to be a plug-in customized. Any other tips you can offer I’d really appreciate as I’m a newbie!

    Thanks again.
