About

In practice. What you can do with Universe Diamond Wave.

Universe Diamond Wave is a Universe postproduction plugin. Its purpose: split an image into rotating diamond segments to reveal another shot.

Choose transition timing around your two shots. A conspicuous effect can support branded motion graphics but does not replace a coherent edit.

Access is through Universe, also included in Red Giant and Maxon One. This is not a standalone purchase priced at the cost of the suite. Check the plugin against your exact host version. Archive source material and a final render rather than relying only on a plugin-dependent project.
