Paint Drip Transition?
 

I have a client editing a video about an artist and she wants what she is calling a "paint drip transition".

Anyone know of such a transition for FCP?

Thanks.

There's also a rockin' free font called "WC Rhesus A Bta" that's composed entirely of paint-like spatters.

You could quickly animate a few of these spatters using the Text generator in a Sequence (white on black), then use the "Travel Matte - Luma" Composite Mode to reveal your incoming clip. It would end up laid out on the timeline like this:
