Open the FxFactory app, and click the “info” window. But I don’t have time or patience to do that for long. That’s part of the fun of having an effects library – you can browse until you find something that catches your eye. Or maybe you’re not even sure what you’re looking for. Since FXFactory Pro comes with 176 filters, generators and transitions, you may find yourself scratching your head when it comes time to find the one you need. But it’s technically not part of FX Factory Pro, so I’ll save a review of Rolling Credits for another post. I ended up purchasing it and it saved me a lot of time in creating the credits for the film, looks great, and provided tons of options for display. I started my search on Google, and ended it on my FxFactory app, already installed on my computer, where it was a snap to enable Rolling Credits, a SugarFX plug-in. When I got ready to create the credit roll for our recently completed doc, Beyond Naked, for example, I went looking for a plugin to help with formatting text. To disable unwanted plugins, and more, open preferences for the FxFactory app:

You can add trial versions of plugins that you may want to try, too. At any time, you can open the app and select which plugins you want to have enabled.

Luckily, the FX Factory app makes it easy to manage which effects are installed. It will however not affect rendering speed, or the speed of Final Cut Pro X in general. It will affect the speed of browsing through effects, simply because there are more there, and manipulating a larger list is more taxing. These results are then chached, so the next time you launch Final Cut Pro X it will again startup quickly.

It will affect the time Final Cut Pro X takes to startup after the effects are first installed, as Final Cut Pro X needs to build the “list” and register everything that’s new.Update: Niclas from Noise Industries contacted me with this clarification: “Having many effects active will not “slow down you machine” in general. Having more effects than you need not only clutters the interface, but I believe it can slow down your machine. However, by default, not only the FxFactory Pro plug-in, but all third-party plugins, are installed – probably a lot more than you want or need. Installing FX Factory Pro is painless and fast.

Full disclosure: I received a review license prior to posting this review, but I had already purchased the suite, so I’m not in any way being compensated for sharing my experience.įirst, some clarification: when you install FxFactory Pro, what you’re actually installing is two things: a tool kind of like Apple’s App Store, in which you have access to other developer’s plug-ins from within a single app, and a suite of plug-ins called by the same name, FxFactory Pro. It’s an easy yes for me, since I purchased the $399 library last year and have used them in some way on most of my projects since. I was recently invited by Noise Industries to review their FX Factory Pro suite of visual effects for Final Cut Pro X.
