Cascade Drop template: cards dropping onto a growing pile

How Cascade Drop moves

Cascade Drop drops your cards in from above one at a time, each landing at a slightly different angle on a growing pile, then the whole pile slides out of the bottom of the frame together. Rotation and card size are adjustable. Four slots and a 7 second loop. It feels like prints tossed onto a table, nice for photography and packaging at 1:1.

In the studio you can tune its 4 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.
