About Zoetrope GEODE

Zoetrope GEODE is a 3D video‑mapping and geometric transition engine delivered as two FxFactory plugins: GEODE FX and GEODE TRANS. GEODE FX maps 16:9 video onto UV‑wrapped 3D meshes such as planes, arcs, open boxes or dodecahedrons, with full control over scale, position, rotation and optional auto‑animation. A vertex‑distortion algorithm adds glitch‑style contortions. GEODE TRANS generates transitions using a 3D model‑based alpha channel; you select from thirteen models, adjust light‑source position to set wipe direction, and tune a softness slider from hard cuts to soft fades. Both plugins run on macOS, require Noise Industries FxFactory (free download) as a host platform, and use OpenGL acceleration. The product supports After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X and Motion, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Features

• GEODE FX maps video onto geometric 3D mesh models UV-mapped for 16×9 content, chosen from shapes like plane, arc, open box and dodecahedron
• GEODE TRANS builds transitions from a 3D model-based alpha channel defining transparency between A and B video, using one of thirteen models
• Light source position sets the transition direction, and a softness parameter ranges from a hard-edged wipe to a gentle fade
• X and Y axis rotation adds movement independent of the lighting, plus a de-sphere function to flatten or distort the alpha model
• Full control over scale, position and rotation, with optional auto-animate on any axis and keyframing when preferred
• Vertex distortion algorithm animates individual vertex points for abstract, glitchy contortions
• Preset systems in both plugins for saving and sharing looks, with full OpenGL acceleration

Best for

Motion designers and editors who need to project video onto 3D shapes or craft custom geometric fades and wipes beyond standard transition presets.
