FxFactory Announces Plugins for Final Cut Studio

April 24, 2006

Reprinted from a Noise Industries press release:

FxFactory will ship with a comprehensive collection of real-time plug-ins designed for quality and performance, taking advantage of modern GPU-based acceleration and graphics technologies only available on Mac OS X. The 100+ effects included are dynamically expandable.

FxFactory Expandability
FxFactory includes revolutionary effect management and authoring capabilities. Competitive offerings in the integrated effects industry limit users to a fixed set of plug-ins. FxFactory sets a new standard by letting end users create brand new effects in minutes, requiring no programming experience or coding. More plug-ins will also be available at the Noise Industries Effect Market, an online marketplace where visual effect artists can share and distribute plug-ins created with FxFactory.

“After revolutionizing the visual effects capabilities of Avid’s NLEs, we are thrilled to announce new products for Final Cut Studio, at a point where its user base is gaining creative momentum,” said Noise Industries Head of Business Development Niclas Bahn.

FxFactory Features

Tight integration with Mac OS X graphics technologies such as Core Image, and Quartz Composer.

Modern rendering engine based on OpenGL.

Create new effects based on Quartz Compositions.

Infinitely expandable architecture allows user to share, download and buy new visual effect plug-ins at the Effect Market.

FxFactory will be available by Summer 2006. Pricing TBA.
