The Glitch Transitions pack alone will reshape a cut in three clicks. But the real question for any motionvfx download mac is whether your machine can keep up. This isn't a lightweight pack of overlays — mKBHD pulls the same techniques Marques uses on his channel, and it expects a properly spec'd workstation.
macOS and NLE version requirements
- macOS Big Sur 11.7.10 or later
- Requires Final Cut Pro 10.6.5, DaVinci Resolve 17.4, or Adobe Premiere Pro 2022+
- 16 GB of system memory
- 4 GB of VRAM
- Runs natively on Intel and Apple Silicon
What you get across the three hosts
The package splits its 51 ready-made presets across three applications. Final Cut Pro users get elements structured for horizontal timelines. The DaVinci Resolve set supports both horizontal and vertical aspect ratios and includes 35 titles, 10 effects, and 6 transitions. For Premiere Pro, the pack delivers 45 titles and 6 transitions, all in a horizontal format. Every preset draws from MKBHD's editing vocabulary — clean zooms, crisp text reveals, and transitions that land hard without feeling overproduced.
Scale keyframes that arrive too punchy
Most of the defaults work out of the box, but a few adjustments make the presets feel less like templates. Start with these before you drag anything onto a timeline.
- Scale keyframes — The zoom presets arrive tuned for 4K footage. On a 1080p timeline, open the transform controls and pull the end-point scale back by 15 to 20 percent. It keeps the punch without the frame jumping.
- Shadow intensity — Titles carry a built-in drop shadow that reads well on bright backgrounds. For darker interview setups, drop the opacity to around 30 percent and soften the blur radius. The text stays legible without looking pasted on.
- Easing curves — Several transitions default to a linear ramp. Switch them to an ease-out curve once, then copy the attribute to the rest of the cut. The motion feels closer to what Marques actually uses on camera moves.
- Transition duration — The glitch transitions are set to 12 frames out of the box. For tech reviews and fast montages, shorten to 8 frames. For slower product shots, 16 frames gives the distortion room to breathe.
Turning a flat 40-minute talking-head into a 9-minute roundup
A freelance editor cutting a weekly tech roundup for a mid-sized YouTube channel has about four hours to turn a 40-minute talking-head session into a 9-minute video. The raw footage is solid, but the cuts feel flat — same shot, same lighting, no motion between segments.
She drops three mKBHD titles over her chapter markers, swaps two hard cuts for glitch transitions, and applies a punch-in preset to the intro hook. The timeline now has visual rhythm without a single hand-built keyframe. She exports the same afternoon and still has time to send a client revision.
Loading the rough cut with presets already in Motion Templates
Here's how a session plays out once the plugin is installed and the presets are in your Motion Templates folders.
- Open Final Cut Pro and load the rough cut. You already have a timeline with clips in order but no motion applied.
- Open the Titles browser and locate the mKBHD category. Drag a chapter title onto the first clip.
- Skim through the cut and mark every spot where the energy drops — usually between the intro and the first product shot.
- Drag a glitch transition onto two of those marked cuts. Play back once to check the timing against the music track.
- Apply a zoom preset to the intro clip. Open the inspector and nudge the end scale down slightly so the framing doesn't crop the subject.
- Jump to the outro. Drop in a lower-third title, then copy the easing attributes from the intro zoom onto the title's fade-in.
- Render a short section around the transitions to confirm playback stays smooth, then export the full timeline.
The whole pass takes under twenty minutes. The presets carry the visual load, and the only manual work left is adjusting timing and scale to fit the footage.
- New — 51 ready-made presets added for editing workflows.

- Final Cut Pro 10.6.5, DaVinci Resolve 17.4, or Adobe Premiere Pro 2022+
- 16 GB system memory
- 4 GB VRAM
- Intel or Apple Silicon Mac
