DissolveMaster earns its place in the toolfarm library for taking the dissolve well past a standard cross-fade, flowing transitions by luminance or color and extending the same organic animation to other video effects, including those from third-party plugins.
Pixelan DissolveMaster is a hardware-accelerated video transitions plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro, with support for Premiere Elements, Vegas Pro, Vegas Movie Studio, CyberLink PowerDirector, Magix Movie Edit Pro, and Magix Video Pro. It creates dissolves and fades of many types, including film dissolves, soft directional dissolves, blur dissolves, and glow/flash dissolves.
Beyond transitions, DissolveMaster can animate any video effect within a single clip, such as color changes, tonal adjustments, and blurs, including effects from third-party plugins. You can reveal or fade video effects in a way that relates to your scene's content. It ships with nearly 500 customizable presets, dozens of mixable "section" presets, and an animated Effects Browser window for comparing and choosing looks, plus a Recent button for reapplying effects.
Creative controls include clicking the image to set the dissolve's start or end location in the first or second clip, flowing the dissolve via luminance or a hue and color range, iris-shape geometry, 10 x 10 blend modes, saturation and blur ramping, edge glows, and bezier curve keyframing. A Mac version is available for Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Pixelan DissolveMaster is best for editors and motion artists building dissolve and fade transitions, and organically animating video effects within a single clip.
Pixelan DissolveMaster is completely free to download and use.

If you are on a newer release, the developer's page lists current compatibility details you can verify before downloading.
DissolveMaster can animate any video effect within a single clip, such as color changes, tonal adjustments, and blurs, and it also works with effects from other third-party plugins. Rather than ramping an effect's strength uniformly across the image, it lets you reveal or fade an effect in a way that relates to your scene's content. It can also reveal or fade text titles, backgrounds, and layers, using the same dissolve controls it applies to transitions between clips.
DissolveMaster is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. On the feature side, it includes nearly 500 pre-made presets, save and load of your own favorites, instant reapply of recently used effects, on-screen tips for its controls, and full undo and redo, which makes experimenting with dissolve and fade looks straightforward.
