Looking for good "Lower Third" plug ins for Final Cut

Does anybody have any sources for good "Lower Third" plug-ins for Final Cut Studio?

Why deny yourself the joy and pleasure to create your own,
It is far easier and faster than it may sound. Use a combination of applications like Motion, FCP, AE, Photoshop etc.
Use the tools don't make them use you. Manuals, the forums and a few selected tutorials can help you if you feel not confident with any of the software mentioned, but if you are passioned enough there's nothing more rewarding that learning while nurturing your creativity.
Just thought you may want to consider that as an option,

  • VST plug-ins and Final Cut Pro

    Hi,
    is it possible to use VST plug-ins with Final Cut Pro 6 and if it is possible, where should I install it and where should I look for it in FCP? I talk about audio filter - limiter.

    No. VST plugins are not natively supported in FCP. FCP supports only the Audio Unit (AU) architecture.
    Is the built-in Compressor/Limiter plug-in no good for your needs? Or how about bouncing your audio out to SoundTrack Pro and working on it there?
    If you have specific VST plugins that you need to use in FCP, then you should take a look at the VST to AU Adapter 2.0 from www.fxpansion.com
    its worth noting that Audio Unit plugins within FCP, do not support custom GUI's, you'll get it, but it'll be ugly!

  • Plug Ins in Final Cut Pro??

    hey i got a plugin for final cut pro and i know your supposed to drag the plugin into the fnl cut plugin folder. this was fairly simple in old final cuts. but now that i have final cut 8 and i'm trying to "plug in" a plugin there is no folder. i'm not stupid and just can't find it in finder or seachlight it just is unfindable, by common way anyways. is it possible apple made it so you can only use apple made plug-ins? i don't know if anybody else has had this problem or if they can figure it out.

    no i know where they go but like i literally can't find the plugin folder anywhere. nor can i find any of the plugins. i talked to my friend who knows alot about fnl cut and macs and he couldnt find it either. he said he usually can find it but he hasnt tried since his old fnl cut version. and both of us have final cut pro 6 and cant find it (sorry on the post i said 8 i was mixing it up with logic).

  • Looking for Final Cut Pro Version 6

    I'm looking to upgrade from FCP Version 5 to Version 6, but my G5 is pre-Intel. Anyone have suggestions on where to obtain FCP 6 besides just buying a new Intel G5? I would like to get a new G5, but the economy forced me to look at least upgrading as far as I can with my current G5, first.
    Thanks for any assistance!

    First of all, a G5 computer uses a Motorola processor, not an Intel.
    There's no such thing as an Intel G5.

  • Just looking for Final Cut Express, I find it replaced by Final Cut Pro X??

    I was looking for a decent video editor for doing home camcorder clips, but with more control and options than iMovie.  I was expecting to find a boxed product with full printed manual and software on DVD but for the life of me I can't find it on the Apple Online Store.  Any help please?

    Completely obsolete for people who can afford the latest equipment, perhaps, but for the rest of us still happy with our Standard Definition stuff it's perfectly adequate.  Maybe in five year's time, but not yet for me.
    Optical media and cardboard packaging costs pennies, how is that not viable?  I like that Apple want to push forwards with technology trends but I think they are alienating people who can't afford super fast broadband or the latest HD camcorder equipment.  The broadband infrastructure simply is not yet in place here for that kind of world Apple is pushing for, the broadband suppliers are dragging their feet with little incentive to change.
    I really love a lot of the things that Apple do, but some of them I really don't understand, this and Lion are two prime examples at the moment.  Too soon in my opinion.

  • Waves Plug ins and Final Cut

    I run Pro Tools on a Macbook Pro which also hosts Final Cut Studio. I am having a problem whereby on booting the program it crashes if the iLok isn't inserted but if the iLok is there, it takes forever to load - I mean forever - I am still waiting for it after about 10 minutes and am unsure whether it is going ot do it at all. It is just the Native Power Pack but there are a lot of impulse responses for the reverb it seems to be loading - the point is, I don't want to use Waves with Final Cut - I just want to import and edit some video quickly but this is causing me a bit of a headache - I am sure there is a simple solution.
    Thanks in anticipation all you wonderful boffins
    Matt

    The solution is simple but but you might not like it ...
    FCP is Audio Unit aware, and your Waves plug-ins are Audio Units and so are being loaded by FCP.
    The only way to stop this from happening is to move the offending plug-ins out of the /Library/Audio/Plug-ins directory before you launch FCP ... of course, this then means you need to move them back in again before you use Pro Tools ... not too great :/
    Manually, you could simplify this by creating shortcuts (aliases) to the folders on the desktop, so it would be easy to drag and drop between the two.
    Or, if you're that way inclined, you could create an Automator action or AppleScript to do it for you.
    Perhaps easiest would be to create two separate user accounts, one you use for Pro Tools and one for FCP. Install the Waves plugins in the Pro Tools user's ~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins folder, rather than the global one. Then just use Fast User Switching to switch environments.
    Hope it helps
    Andy
    EDIT: Oh heck look --> http://www.audiofile-engineering.com/audiounitmanager/ this may be by far the better solution for simply switching plugin sets, you just need to create a separate set for FCP and Pro Tools, or just switch between None and All. Gotta be worth checking out as its free! Everybody loves free

  • Plug-ins for Final Cut Studio

    Please post your recommendations for plug-ins for FInal Cut Studio (Final Cut Pro and Motion).

    film leaders clips can be downloaded online if you dig around a bit ... Peter Wiggins has a nice Motion Template clock he offers for free (which is a bargain by anyones reckoning)
    easy enough to create your own film leader style countdown with a few back to back text generators separated by clock wipe transitions
    color bars can already found in your fcp video generators bin
    color bars and a film leader style countdown can also be auto generated during output (print to video and edit to tape)
    distort faces and license plate like they do on tv? ... ok i give up, what do you mean? if you mean you want to disguise them (Mosaic, Blur etc) then you can have a bash with my Region Blur plugin

  • Any Acrobat Reader 'free'  /  low cost plug-ins available?

    Dear All,
    I posted a week or so ago regarding using VB and Acrobat Reader. What I want to do is open a pdf in VB, navigate through the pdf then save the current page no. in VB. A sort of index builder.
    I realise from the excellent comments / help I received that since this is aimed at Acrobat Reader the only way forward is a plug-in. Thus I thought I would investigate this route. I've been stopped in my tracks rather quickly after looking at the plug-in licence rates.
    So, my question - Do 'general functionality' low cost plug-ins exist for Adobe Reader to help me solve my project?
    Regards,
    Albert.

    Dear Michael,
    What I'm trying to achieve is this;
    Allow the user to load any pdf file they wish, browse the pdf and when they find they relevant section (defined by pdf page no.) allow them to 'index' this by storing the documents path/name and current page no. via VB. Its a sort of index but controlled by a VB program.
    It appears I can do it with a plug-in but the project is only very small and does not have a budget to buy the plug-in yearly licence. The other way around this is to do it via VB and use a VB compliant pdf library, I was hoping to just use the functionality in the Acrobat Reader but it appears to have little in the way of what I need. It can load/browse the pdf but seems to have no acessible function to extract the page no. the user is current looking at.
    Any thoughts are much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Albert.

  • Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution?

    Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution?  I'm using it for a taser sequence.
    Thanks!
    Matthew

    Open Motion, look for lightningin the generators. From there, it's a question of figuring out how it works and what you need to do to make it work for your sequence. That's about as free as it gets and it will ony be as good--even if someone else did the work for you--as the amount of time you're willing to invest.

  • New Canon EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro

    Just thought your would like to know. From canonrumors.com
    http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/04/canon-updates-e1-plugin-for-fcp/
    Canon today announces the latest update for EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro – the company’s custom-developed software application that provides quicker and easier editing of EOS Movie footage in Apple’s Final Cut Pro software suite.
    Launching to coincide with the start of the 2011 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will make the importing of EOS Movie files even easier, allowing users to transfer files from any folder, without needing to mirror the folder structure on the camera itself.
    The update also enables smoother importing from Canon’s EOS 7D, EOS 5D Mark II and EOS-1D Mark IV models, allowing users to import footage without requiring the THM file generated by the camera.
    Originally launched in February 2010, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro is designed to quickly and seamlessly convert EOS Movie footage from Canon’s leading range of EOS DSLR cameras to Apple’s high-quality ProRes 422 codec. The plug-in allows users to convert footage at approximately twice the speed of Apple’s standard conversion, creating a smoother workflow for the rapidly growing number of videographers shooting HD video content on DSLR cameras.
    EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will be available to download for free from 25th April 2011.

    And I just spent over an hour yesterday explaining to a client how utterly essential it was to maintain the exact folder structure for proper log & transfer:/
    If I say that once a day to students, I say it a thousand times.
    On top of that I just started Carbon Copy Clone today with all my updates in my editing lab. Not the end of the world but it's a little time consuming on 80 stations. Oh well.

  • Good substitute for Final Cut Express?

    I tried a free month of Final Cut Express over a year ago. When done I found that the version I got If I bought was a newer version. I presume the two versions involved were 3.5 and 4.0. So I must have tried 3.5.
    I liked it a lot! It would have been $200 as I recall. Now I find that It's no longer available. It had all the function I want and I cannot afford to pay for Final Cut Pro considering the relatively small amount of "work" I intend to do with it. I've since upgraded to Mountain Lion and it appears I cannot run Final Cut Express on this system. Plus, my iMac is mid 2010 with 4gb memory.
    Is there some app out there that can do what FCE did?
    One function in particular was very useful to me as a musician -- being able to stretch the audio from my Zoom recorder to match the audio/video from my camcorder.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello David
    Quick question which may be helpful for Bruce:
    I'm familiar with the controversy over the original release of FCX. There was great disatisfaction and disappointment because the first release appeared to be more of a glorified iMovie. Many professional features were replaced with templates creating a 'dumbed down' platform, (nothing like FCP).
    Many FC Pro users were outraged. Many abandoned FC, and went with Avid.
    Is it true Apple admitted to a 'flawed design' with X, and put back a lot of Pro features that were missing?
    Thanx
    Mike

  • Can anyone recommend a beauty filter or glow effect for final cut pro x

    I'm looking for a plug in filter that's like the old plug ins for final cut pro 7 for final cut pro x
    Any suggestions.  FYI final cut pro x effects does not have it.  
    I'm not looking to fix skin tone but looking for a beauty filter for final cut pro x
    Thanks

    I put together some filters using old Photoshop tricks:
    Colorist Toy Box:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVD0kZIpq9s
    (explanations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8CEb0K_IZo)
    The two effects can be combined on clips.
    YMMV

  • My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

    My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

    1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
    2)  Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
    a)  Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/
    b)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:  http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function.  FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

  • Can I add a secondary location for Final Cut Pro Documents?

    Hi Guys,
    I'm working on a large project which has taken up most of my 2tb hard drive which I use for my final cut pro documents (capture scratch, render files etc). Is it possible if I plug in another hard drive to use that as a secondary location for final cut pro documents as I have other (smaller) projects which I could be uploading and working on in the mean time? If so, how is this achieved and what are the pros / cons?

    Sure -- go to Final Cut Pro menu on your menu bar and select System Settings.
    The first tab is SCRATCH DISKS -- that's the term too -- not secondary folder for FCP Documents.
    Change it there.
    Drawbacks...
    It has been a while since I've had to deal with this, but FCP used to not remember (feature or bug??) a project's original scratch disk location and if you change it for ONE project it will be changed for ALL future AND past projects... until you change it back.
    Now, that in itself isn't a BAD thing. All that that means is that if you continue to capture material into that old project it will now put it over here instead of over there. Also, other things like render files and such which won't really matter much unless they do... and now you've got stuff spread over a coupla drives.
    FCP's projects don't care. They've already mapped where they need to go to get the video and render files it needs. Move your Scratch Disk 33 times... won't make a difference to the browser and timeline. -- UNTIL you remove one of the important drives. THEN red lines galore! Un renders, missing files... messy messy messy!
    Much better to start and finish a project in scratch disk. Makes for easy cleanup. Kinda like cooking thanksgiving dinner (American??) in 5 houses at once.
    Good luck,
    CaptM

  • Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro

    I'm sure you've seen this before and I've tried to search for a thread on it here and fell asleep, so sorry if this is a repeat.
    I have edited projects in Premiere Pro (on my PC) and I have tried to transfer them in FCP. It worked with the exception of two things:
    1. the error message, "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro"
    2. the quality *****! watching it on the playback in FCP it looks great, but then when I burn it to Disc it's pixelated in spots and generally has a lower quality picture.
    I know that it's Standard Def. and can't expect the best, but I've done it before (once or twice) and it didn't seem this bad.
    Can someone suggest anything to help the quality? Should I run my AVIs through MPEG Steamclip to make it a QT file and if so what is the best format in that since there are many to choose from and most I'm not familiar with?
    Thank you,
    Crayton

    I did compress them to DV NTSC then burned it to DVD and the result was no bueno.
    I thought what I would do is try compressing them again before I send them on over to DVDSPRO. Here is a simplified break down of the situation:
    - I have edited the raw footage in Premiere Pro on my PC. They were recorded and captured as SD.
    - I rendered them in Premiere, then transfered the rendered AVI file to FCP.
    - When went to place the files in FCP, I received the warning message; "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro" but I went forward anyways and it allowed me to do so.
    - Originally I went ahead and compressed them from FCP to QT Movie as a DV NTSC, which ended up poorly.
    - Therefore my question is, should I compress them using another file type (other then DV NTSC)? Which leads me to another program that I have called MPEG Streamclip, which offers tons of file types of which I am unfamiliar with most. I want the best quality of course but don't know what file type is the highest going from AVI to a format that can be accepted by FCP and ultimately DVDSPRO. Keeping in mind that I only have FCP5 and do not have Prores.
    Did that make sense?
    Thank you again,
    Crayton
