I have FXFactory 3 installed and I’m not seeing issues.

have to say FX Factory Tech support is outstanding – they found issues in Quartz Composer Patches folder — if anyone has the same issue – here’s the fix they sent me –

FROM FX Factory support

I recommend that you navigate to the following directory on your system:

/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches

– AlphaBlendMode.plugin
– AudioTools.plugin
– FileTools.plugin
– GLTools.plugin
– GLTools_NoAlphaBlend.plugin
– StructureTools.plugin

I would remove all components except the “GLTools” component (of which you have a duplicate).

The “AlphaBlendMode 1.0” component is particularly bad. It likely ended up on your system when you installed Boris plug-ins (although it is *not* made by Boris). I recommend that you replace it with a newer version:

You may *also* be interested to know that the AlphaBlendMode.plugin *ALSO* caused the iMovie Title Browser to not key properly. It has taken many hours to sort out this problem, and if I hadn’t opened up Final Cut Pro X to check that it would key a title properly *and* seeing the warning from FX Factory, I wouldn’t have solved two problems at once.
