Why we like it

FxTiles earns its place in the toolfarm library as a focused set of 3D tile-based filters and transitions from Boinx Software and FxFactory. Because it runs on the free FxFactory host, it becomes available across several editing and compositing applications rather than a single one.

What is Boinx Software FxTiles?

Boinx Software FxTiles is a collection of 3D filters and transitions built on FxFactory, created by Boinx Software together with Noise Industries. It runs in After Effects and DaVinci Resolve, and also works in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, and Premiere Pro. The set includes flexible animation controls for moving image tiles and fragments through 3D space.

The filters divide a source image into tiles: Flip 3D flips them in 3D space, while Shatter 3D animates them through it. The transitions apply the same idea between two images. Flip & Reveal 3D flips tiles to reveal matching portions of the destination image, and the Shatter & Rebuild variants break the source into fragments while rebuilding the destination in its place, with options to fade fragments out or reveal the destination beneath.

FxTiles requires Noise Industries FxFactory to run, which is a free download, and works on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors.

Who is Boinx Software FxTiles best for?

Boinx Software FxTiles is best for video and post-production professionals who want 3D tile and fragment filters and transitions across After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and other FxFactory-supported hosts.

How much does Boinx Software FxTiles cost?

Boinx Software FxTiles is completely free to download and use.
