Xplode 4.0 is an advanced 2D & 3D video effects package providing professional editors with powerful creativity tools to produce stunning quality video content. With hundreds of customisable effects, transitions and an intuitive interface, creating custom effects is a snap. Xplode 4.0 is a must-have for today’s professional video editor.

Compatible with all capture cards including OHCI and designed to work with today’s popular Non Linear Editing software programs, this amazingly simple to use package takes 3D transition editing to the next level.

Those who believe that time is important yet don’t want to sacrifice the quality of their output will fully appreciate the Xplode 4.0 package. Other 3D effect packages offer complicated feature sets and high learning-curve interfaces. Xplode 4.0 not only addresses this but also gives the 3D effect editing process a brand new look and feel that will have editors reaching for the Xplode 4.0 package every time they want to make that special impact effect.

Efficient and Easy Effect Selection

New to Xplode 4.0 is the Transition Launcher window. Accessed from within Canopus editing packages or Adobe® Premiere®, the launcher is a fast, efficient way of navigating through over 900 different effects within Xplode 4.0. With one-click previews, drop-down “Explorer” style interface and the ability to store favourite transitions separately, making that all important choice becomes easy.

Detailed Control with New Composer Effects

Xplode 4.0 demonstrates consistent interface design by incorporating the advanced keyframing and intuitive interface of other popular Canopus products such as Imaginate and DVStorm2’s 3D Picture-in-Picture. With a selection of over 100 presets, Xplode 4.0’s new Composer Effects gives editors detailed keyframing and advanced transition customisation capabilities to create stunning 2D and 3D effects to their liking.

Several Composer Effects can also be combined with an Alpha Mask or be applied on transparent graphics to provide even more customisation for PIP and text effects.

Rendering Engine

Xplode 4.0 features an enhanced rendering engine, which provides high quality output, including superior antialiasing. Xplode 4.0 is also engineered to take advantage of Direct3D compatible Video Graphics Accelerators for faster, hardware-based performance.

Global Configuration

Xplode 4.0 provides a Global Configuration utility designed to quickly adjust important functions such as overscan area handling and 3D rendering and have the settings instantly apply to all Xplode 4.0 effects. Accessed either directly or from any effect configuration panel, Global Configuration also provides users with 4 different quality settings to improve preview performance on older machines.

Intuitive Effects Control

Xplode 4.0’s “SmartConfig” intuitive interface dramatically reduces the learning curve by allowing users to easily and quickly adjust transitions to their specific needs. SmartConfig panels include options for progress keyframing, positioning, lighting and shadows and now also basic playback and scrubbing controls for finer tuning of effects.
