About Pixelan DissolveMaster
Pixelan DissolveMaster is a hardware‑accelerated video‑transition plugin for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. It also works with Premiere Elements, CyberLink PowerDirector, and several Magix and Vegas video editors on Windows and macOS. The plugin provides film‑style, soft directional, blur, and glow/flash dissolves, and it can animate any video effect—such as color shifts, tonal changes, or third‑party effects—within a single clip. It ships with nearly 500 customizable presets, mixable section presets, an animated Effects Browser for previewing looks, and a Recent button for quick re‑application. Controls include click‑to‑set start or end points, luminance‑ or hue‑based flow, iris‑shape geometry, 10 × 10 blend‑mode matrix, saturation and blur ramping, edge glows, and bezier curve keyframing. A Mac version is available for Premiere Pro and After Effects.
