Automatic Duck Plugs Ins are FREE!

I honestly thought with them moving to Adobe that the old plug ins were gone for good, but it seems not as Automatic Duck has released all their old plug ins for FREE!I already owned Pro Import AE 5.0, which allows you to import either Final Cut Pro 7 or AVID Media Composer sequences into After Effects. You use Free XML exporter for FCP and it works almost perfectly. A must have.Pro Export FCP 5.0 is for FCP X and is to allow OMF export.Pro Export FCP 4.0 lets you export either OMF or AAF from FCP to AVID, and I previously owned this.And their is Pro Import FCP 2.0 which allows you to import an AVID sequence into Final Cut Pro.And they are all FREE. So download them now. Sure they will not be updated again, but free is a huge price drop!

FCP.CO shows off DVcreators new FCP 7 Plug ins

FCP.co is showing off DVcreators 3 new film looks FXScript plug ins for Final Cut Pro 7 created by the great Graeme Nattress. The effects look great and are only $35 dollars, which is good as they don’t work with FCP X or anything besides FCP 7, which is EOL.Check out the filter FilmStyles at DVcreators.Inexpensive enough that people may still get them for FCP 7, but they had better add Premiere Pro support soon!

onOne Releases Perfect Photo Suite 6

onOne Software has released Perfect Photo Suite 6 for Photoshop. This has long been one of my favorite Photoshop plug in suits, and they have added new plug ins, Perfect Effects 3 replaces PhotoTools, they have added Perfect Portrait and Perfect Mask replaces Mask Pro 4. I am always using Photoframe and the rest of the suite is well worth it. Also love that when I owned the earlier version they gave a free 64 bit upgrade. This company totally rocks.

Magic Bullet Suite 11 and short film Plot Device

So Magic Bullet today released an upgrade to it’s Suite of video filters created by the great Stu Maschwitz, and giving you the ability to give your video controllable filmic looks, control the color, denoise, enlarge, and now has new effects.Cosmo is an effect to clean up skin in your video, and has some pretty amazing results, and they have updated Magic Bullet Looks to 2, with a much improved interface and better functionality.This is a suite I have used for years and couldn’t recommend more highly.To see some of the effects in action Red Giant has created a short film called PLOT DEVICE to showcase the effects, and it is fun and well worth checking out.Now that FCP is dead, let’s hope Stu manages to make this suite for AVID Media Composer in the near future, though I am OK with it being in Premiere, as that is probably my next edit system.
