A full walkthrough of Camera Shutter on real footage, in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
What Camera Shutter does
Camera Shutter snaps closed over the outgoing clip and opens onto the next, mimicking a real shutter actuation across the cut. It is a native, GPU-accelerated transition for After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, with a live render-accurate preview so the snap reads true while you work.
Drop it between two clips on your timeline and the shutter handles the hand-off from one shot to the next. The timing and look are fully adjustable and keyframable, so you can shape the speed of the actuation and the feel of the close and open.
