4 FREE FCP & Motion Filters!

All,

Well, a bit of of a belated Christmas present, but I'm pleased to anounce we have 4 FREE FCP & Motion filters for you to download. These are in public beta at the moment, but all work well, especially MultiSpace which early testers say we should be charging for! All the instructions for installation and the files can be found HERE

MultiSpace
Puts two inputs into 3d space with global & independent XYZ & rotation. Planes can intersect too. You cannot do this in FCP, Motion OR Shake at the moment
iSight Live!
Yes, get a live input on your timeline in Motion & FCP. Very handy for picking a colour off a client's brochure. I've also waved a white envelope in front of the camera and used that as a key signal.
Rack Focus
Racks the blur from one input to the other with one parameter. Both blur values for each input can be independently set. Great for highlighting text over a picture
Opposites
Two input basic parameter linking - move one left, the other goes right. Rotate one clockwise, the other one goes anticlock. Very handy as you can assign a behavoir such as random to both elements. Great for getting funky text moves.

Hope you all enjoy using these, as always any feedback is more than welcome.

Nice one Peter! Especially Multispace ... I remember you teased the Cow with mention of your work on producing an old school style DVE plugin long long ago. Glad some of that work finally sees the light.
Cheers

Andy,

That actually wasn't the one I was talking about - that one is still in development and I'm talking to the BBC about refining it.

Have fun with the freebies, even if its just to scare your clients with iSight Live

Peter

I certainly will ! Thanks again. And good luck on the continuing plugin revolution ... long live the Quartz

All,

I've just posted a quick demo movie of MultSpace HERE

Quick to do & quick to render - and its FREE!

Peter

Cool movie.

I was under the impression you could use it with video also, not just a still. Is that true?

Yeup, it takes whatever you input into it.

Want me to make another one with moving video ?

Peter

Very cool Peter. Thanks for that.

I'll give it a shot myself!

Thanks Peter!

Got any light sources?

;-) Nice work Peter

Well they may not have all the goodness of fxplug, but here are a few filters in plain vanilla fxscript for those that may have a use for them: [homepage.mac.com]

Peter, they don't exactly complete with the likes of MultiSpace, Rack Focus et al, so I didn't think you'd mind me piggybacking your thread ?

Cheers
Andy

Groovy Andy. That will help a lot of folks still running V5 and below.

Andy,

You go and piggyback away as much as you like, the more free stuff thats out there helps everybody.
