A premium glass title for Final Cut Pro — crisp edges, soft bloom, and that “expensive UI” shine.
Crystal Plate is a stylized title plugin built to make your text feel like it’s sitting inside a polished, refractive plate of glass. It’s clean when you want it clean… and it can get deliciously punchy when you start dialing in glow, glint, prism, distortion, crystallize, and refraction.
Whether you’re building YouTube lower-thirds, cinematic chapter cards, product callouts, tech overlays, or premium tutorial titles—Crystal Plate gives you a high-end look in seconds, without turning your timeline into a science experiment.
Built for Speed (and Tweakers)
Crystal Plate works great out of the box, but it’s also designed for people who like knobs.
You get your normal Final Cut Pro title controls plus a full suite of published template controls, organized into clear sections:
Bring the title on with a clean, polished build-in—then soften it with blur controls.
