Hi Guys, is there an exploding text or image filter that’s available in SC? What i am trying to achieve is a lower third image or text coming in and then on fade out it explodes. Just wondering if this is possible in SC
Look for After Effects or some 3D-animation tool. I’m afraid, SC doesn’t offer that.
You could instead fade it out and at the same time blow it up with “size & position” filter - of course its not
the same but similar 
It does!
(search “exploding text” on this forum for more threads).
I’ve no time to fully explain now, but it can be done with HTML/Webfx and @elusien’s filter. You need to use it with SC 20_07_11 or earlier though.
DEMO of exploding text, made very quickly (don’t have much time!):
Instructions
Unzip file.
Explosion TEST by Elusien adapted Jonray.zip (30.6 KB)
Use Shotcut v. 20_07_11. (NB multiple versions of SC may be install
ed on your computer.)
Put a transparent (or colour) clip on V1.
Make it about 10 seconds long.
Apply the Text:HTML (deprecated) filter.
Check “use webvfx” option.
Click “Open” and select “Explosion.html” file.
Play. You get the text explosion effect.
Export as a mp4.
Re-import into SC and trim the beginning and end as required.
Done.
You can change the background colour to transparent by editing the HTML file, by adding a X to “purple”. You change the text by changing “Shotcut Is Awesome” to words of your choice. You can change the font by changing the word “Arial” to a font you have installed. Also change font size.

Excellent Thanks Jonray. Will look into that.

Beside “explosion” (example here: https://elusien.co.uk/shotcut/webvfx/Explosion.html), my WebVfx framework also offers “fragmentation” (example here: https://vimeo.com/268484362 or here https://elusien.co.uk/shotcut/webvfx/Fragmentation.html) with “defragmentation” as an option.

Hi @elusien - of course - I’d forgotten about your Fragmentation effects. Here’s a quick demo I just made with a SUBSCRIBE image I knocked up. It’s great!

(Just to repeat, it will only works with Shotcut 20_07_11 or earlier).
Thanks for the info, guys - good to know! 
The fragmentation part is also very nice!
