What It Does
FoldCraft takes flat media, text layers, alpha-channel masks, and green-screen footage, and animates them as if they were folding and unfolding like paper. Rather than a standard cut or dissolve, the result is a layered folding motion where each piece occludes and flips against adjacent segments, giving titles and graphics a tactile, origami-style depth.
It works inside both After Effects and Premiere Pro and is built around four source types: standard media, text, alpha channels, and keyed footage.
Key Features
Layered Folding Motion. The core mechanic slices your layer into movable segments that fold, flip, and overlap with correct occlusion. This is what separates it from a flat wipe or a transition preset.
Multiple Source Modes. Standard images and video, text layers, alpha-channel cutouts, and green-screen footage can all serve as folding sources. The green screen mode is particularly useful for unfolding a person or object out of the frame with a paper-crafted feel.
Texture and Detail Controls. Adjustments for texture, borders, blending, jitter, and timing let you dial in anything from a clean graphic look to a rougher handmade paper aesthetic.
GIF Templates. Five included template types, Standard, Green Screen, Text, Alpha 01, and Alpha 02, give you a starting point for different use cases without building from scratch.
Who It’s For
Motion designers working on title packages, logo reveals, social content, or broadcast openers will get the most out of FoldCraft. It’s also a good fit for editors in Premiere Pro who want more character in transition moments without jumping into a full compositing setup. Anyone working with keyed footage who wants a distinctive reveal instead of a fade will find the green screen mode genuinely useful.
