Focus Shift template: one large card with a rail of what comes next

How Focus Shift moves

Focus Shift puts one large card next to a rail of the pieces coming up. At each step the next piece grows into the main spot, and the outgoing one slides out and rejoins the end of the rail. In tall frames the rail moves below the main card. With four slots and a 10 second loop, it is a clear layout for case studies and app walkthroughs at 16:9.

In the studio you can tune its 5 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.
