    I was wondering if there was a plug in availible that would aid in a ‘transformer’ type transition? The client wants the subject (an old building) to fold up and un-fold to a new subject (new building).

    Any advice would be great.

    Get a still camera, shoot the building from all directions at a sraight angle.
    Shoot a picture from the angle you want to show, use that as a template to rebuild the building in AE from all the straight pictures and start animating. (slice the images where you want them to fold)

    To do this nice, be prepared for a week of work for 20 decent seconds output…

    export a freeze of the building to photoshop, disect the building as needed then animate those pieces as needed in AE or in the Avid itself. As mentioned, this’ll take some time. It may be better to just offer a quick dissolve depending on your circumstances.
    This is a several thousand dollar transition if done right. Added cheeze to the program if not done right. Clever wipage may save the day.
