jerk

Jerk is an exceptional iMovie plug-in that amplifies motion in a clip and creates a distinctively surreal, nightmarish quality. The plug-in has been named in a fun and quirky manner and can be used to transform your footage in many ways. Jerk operates by replicating the same frame multiple times, which reduces the frame rate from 30 frames per second (fps) to as low as 1.8 fps.

Jerk is particularly adept at creating a super-8 retro feel, particularly when used alongside the 'flicker' plug-in. Furthermore, the effect may be applied to only specific portions of the clip, which can result in some thrillingly offbeat shearing effects when the frames become momentarily out of sync. By manipulating the opacity slider, this plug-in could also bring forth some surprisingly psychedelic pre-motion effects.

The latest version of the software, which comes with a more refined interface and a preview feature that allows for real-time editing, is an improvement over the previous version. With complete rewrites to offer better functionality, this version of Jerk is more efficient and user-friendly. To make use of this incredible iMovie plug-in, you will need to have iMovie 3 or higher installed on your system.
