Motion Extractor

Your stock footage is more interesting than you thought! Reveal only the movement and unlock potential in a seemingly dull shot. It's a reminder that life's always in motion, even when we can't see it. Can we call this a Poetic plugin? Well, I hope it will inspire you in your next editing session :)
