If you want a more comprehensive package, then get FxFactory Pro, which includes over 140 filters, generators and transitions, as well as the other trial packages. This is a great way to get started, because if you only care to buy the yanobox Motype title animation generator or the DVShade color correction EasyLooks filter, then that’s all you have to pay for.
This means that you get the FxFactory application, a few free plug-ins and 15-day trial versions of the other filter packages.
In its most basic form, FxFactory is a free download. These developers currently include idustrial revolution, yanobox, Boinx Software, SUGARfx, Futurismo Zugakousaku, DVShade and, of course, Noise Industries itself. Noise Industries has developed their business through a partnership with various plug-in developers, who design specific filters to work with the FxFaxtory engine. That’s a unique part of FxFactory not offered by any other plug-in developer. Last but not least, adventurous editors can use this as a portal for Apple’s Quartz Composer in order to develop their own custom plug-ins. It also provides one place to get a quick visual overview and access to user instructions for all the effects. Instead, this is where you control license registrations, hide filters you don’t want to use and disable trial versions. The FxFactory application isn’t used to apply filters. It actually installs as two components – the FxFactory filter management application and a package of plug-ins.
They found the most success with FCP editors and have focused primarily on FxFactory, but current versions of Factory Tools can still be purchased for Avid systems.įxFactory operates with the three primary FxPlug hosts (Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro and Motion), as well as Adobe After Effects CS3 and CS4. Noise Industries was one of the first developers to leverage the power of Apple’s Core Image technology for real-time filter application – first with Factory Tools for Avid (AVX) and then FxFactory for Apple’s FxPlug architecture. I’m going to round off this “Plug-in Summer” with a fresh look at FxFactory. For the past few posts I’ve been looking at a number of new plug-ins and applications designed to augment an editor’s toolset.
