Cascade Deck template: a deck dealt out along a diagonal

How Cascade Deck moves

Cascade Deck deals a pile of cards out along a diagonal, one by one or all together, then folds them back into a single pile. The overlap between cards and their size are adjustable, and tall frames steepen the diagonal to use the height. Eight slots and an 8 second loop. A quick, satisfying loop for a set of screens or business cards at 16:9.

In the studio you can tune its 6 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.
