A couple of weeks ago Noise Industries sent me their FxFactory Pro plugin bundle. I spent some time with it and I can honestly say it is a fantastic bunch of plugins that I can easily see any creative individual using on a regular basis. I was so impressed that I wrote back to Noise Industries asking if I could try out some more. The incredible guys and girls over there sent me MoType and DVLooks EasyShade, two very different, yet very easy to use and effective plug ins.For those who don’t know, FxFactory is a free plugin management system that will allow you to store hundreds upon hundreds of plugins that integrate seamlessly into the Final Cut workflow. Noise Industries and other third party developers all use the FxFactory platform to create wonderful, easy to use plug ins for the avid film maker.

We’re going to look at two exceptional plug ins now: MoType and DVShade EasyLooks.MoType:Final Cut’s Pro’s built in text editing effects have never been particularly eye catching, dynamic or interesting to watch. To combat this, some producers manually animate their text by using particle generators, motion blurring and keyframing every single movement frame by frame.

This is time consuming and really disrupts the creative workflow when making a film. Motype is a simple yet effective solution, developed by Yanobox, for creating dynamic, eye catching text and title effects quickly, easily and effeciantly.MoType uses a range of different visual elements to create a beautiful finished composition. These elements could be anything from particles flying around the canvas to subtle movement towards the audience. Everything is so easy and intuitive to use, also the way the plugin is set out is very simple.

MoType uses a slider based interface, similar to a lot of the other Final Cut factory plugins. So beginners will easily pick up how to use the software and create wonderful titles in a matter of seconds.MoType also has around 30 preset text effects so even if you don’t have the time (or patience) to create your own titles.

You can quickly import a preset, edit the text and drag it straight onto your timeline. Rendering is also extremely fast with MoType, a ten second clip took around 15 seconds on a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro.Overall:Pros:. Easy to create stunning titles in no time at all. Presets look great and can be easily tweaked to your own liking.

Extremely quick render times.Cons:. Working with multiple lines of text is extremely difficult and at times, impossible.Overall MoType is an incredible plugin for Final Cut which has been carefully thought through and presented exceptionally well.

The interface is simple to use and it’s presets are beautiful however the lack of proper support for working with multiple lines of text is quite annoying.I am going to give MoType a very strong 45.Motype comes in at $99 and is a fantastic plug in for a creative individual who needs wonderful titles made quickly.DVShade EasyLooks:The second plugin I was sent was DVShade EasyLooks; a colour correction plugin that once again, runs off the FxFactory platform.Final Cut Pro already comes with two factory colour correction plugins. The standard color correction plugin and the three-way colour corrector. Both plugins work exceptionally well but it usually takes a lot of tweaking and fiddling with the controls to achieve a result that works for you. This is where DVShade EasyLooks comes in and performs incredibly well.Like most of the other FxFactory plugins, EasyLooks has a set of presets that range from greyscaling, bleach bypass to warm dream sequence like effects. Each one of the effects looks great and would easily fit into high budget film.

One of the companies harnessing FxFactory Pro’s plug-in creation architecture is Yanobox. Its first offering, Motype, is a useful and easy plug-in for creating dynamic text animations. In the following tutorial, you can see just how easy Motype is to get up and running.If you’d like to follow along, download and install the latest version of FxFactory from and then download and install the free 15-day trial of Motype from the same site. It should be noted that Motype, as well as any plug-ins using FxFactory, can be used in Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, Motion and After Effects.The host application I refer to in this tutorial is Final Cut Pro; the functionality, however, is identical in each of the supported host applications. Step 1: Set up Your Project and SequenceOK. Start by opening Final Cut Pro, create a New Project, click on Sequence 1 in the browser and press command-zero to access the Sequence Settings.In the Sequence Settings dialog, click on the Load Sequence Preset button and in the Select Sequence Preset dialog, choose Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1280×720 24p 48kHz from the Select pop-up menu. If you don’t have the codec installed, choose another HD preset and click OK and then OK again in the Sequence Settings dialog.

Name your sequence and save your project. You’re now ready to use Motype! Step 3 Customize the GeneratorDouble-click on the Motype generator in the timeline to load it into the Viewer. Then click on the Controls tab in the Viewer to access Motype’s parameters. We’re going to choose a preset as a starting point and then customize it.In the Controls tab, click on the Choose Preset pop-up menu and select YBStageStrange720.

Then, in the timeline, go to the start of your sequence and play it back to preview the title. Once you’ve played it back, place your playhead at around the halfway point of the generator so you can see the additional changes you’ll make to the preset.Back in the Controls tab, click on the Text disclosure triangle and change the type so that it reads, “tricked text” and hit return. The new text will refresh in the Canvas. Once done, close the Text parameters by clicking on its disclosure triangle.Open the Motion Mixer parameters and change the Duration to 120.

This will increase the time it takes for the text to animate onto the screen. Close the Motion Mixer parameters.Open the Particles parameters and change the Textures pop-up menu to Squared and then scroll down and change the value of the last Textures parameter, Opacity, to 0.15, which will boost the opacity of the new particle emitter.

Close the Particles parameters.
