I appreciate that Apple replaced FCP7 some 8 years ago, but it’s what I have. FCP7 would also, in its day, have been more than capable of completing the task I am asking of it. And that’s why I’m asking the question here in the Legacy FCP section.
Looking at the built in Cube Spin transition, it goes very close to doing what I am after – except the fact that there’s no “curvature” of the image. If I have to manually manipulate the images to achieve the effect I will, but if it’s something that someone’s done before – either manually too (with some pointers) or if someone knows of a plug-in out there – I’d love to hear about it.
