Why we like it

Wipology earns its place in the toolfarm library for combining a large preset collection with keyframe-free wipes, Metal GPU acceleration and built-in motion blur.

What is Noise Industries Wipology?

Wipology takes a basic transition form, the wipe, and pairs it with a family of effects that range from common and popular to unique. It works in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, running on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. Every transition arrives with auto-animating parameters and more than 100 presets to start from.

No keyframes are required: the wipe is automatically kept in sync with the effect, with options to auto-animate the most important parameters. Wipology uses Metal, Apple's graphics technology, for GPU acceleration that reduces rendering times, and wide-gamut support lets those working with wide-gamut footage in Final Cut Pro X preserve color information during processing. Built-in motion blur is available in all plugins that animate content over your clips.

The set includes Comicbook, Defocus, Edges, Film Effect, Glow, Halftone, Kaleidoscope, Object, Pixelate, Spot Light, Star and Title wipes, plus bonus Object and Title wipe transitions that let you associate an object or title with the wipe. Wipology is distributed through FxFactory, Noise Industries' free plugin manager, which must be installed to run it.

Frequently asked questions

Does Wipology work with After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve?

Wipology works in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and it runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. The plugin requires Noise Industries FxFactory, a free application, so you'll want the latest version of FxFactory installed before using it. Because system requirements can change over time, check the FxFactory page on the developer's site for current details rather than relying on a fixed spec. That page also covers whether your Mac is ready for Metal.

Does Wipology require FxFactory to run?

Wipology is distributed through FxFactory, Noise Industries' free application for managing and installing visual and audio effects plugins. To use Wipology, install the latest version of FxFactory on your system first, then add the plugin through it. There's also FxFactory Pro, a paid version that carries the same system requirements as the free one. For updated system requirements, refer to the FxFactory page on the developer's site, since those requirements can change.

Does Wipology run on Apple Silicon Macs?

Wipology runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors, so it fits current and older Mac hardware. It uses Metal, Apple's graphics technology, for GPU acceleration that reduces rendering times. If you're unsure whether your Mac supports Metal, the developer's page addresses that question. Wipology also requires FxFactory to run, and because system requirements can change, it's best to check the FxFactory page for the latest details before installing.

Do I need keyframes to animate Wipology transitions?

Wipology does not require keyframes. The wipe is automatically kept in sync with the effect, and options are available to auto-animate the most important parameters. It also ships with more than 100 presets to start from. Built-in motion blur is available in all plugins that animate content over your clips, producing results at any frame rate. Between the presets and the auto-animation options, you can set up a transition without building keyframes by hand.

Is Wipology free?

Wipology is listed as free here in our catalog. It's distributed through FxFactory, Noise Industries' free application, which you'll need installed on your system to run the plugin. FxFactory also comes in a paid Pro version that shares the same system requirements as the free one. For current licensing terms and any pricing details, check the developer's page, since those terms can change over time.
