Where is my smoothcam…?
After installing Final Cut Studio 2, I was looking forward to trying out the new “Smoothcam” effect in FCP. Problem is, it doesnt show like the manual says it should, in “Effects->Video Filters->Video->Smoothcam. FCP 6.0 on a brand new MacBook Pro.
Any ideas? -

Just found out…there was a corrupt plugin-pack that also caused Motion to crash on my drive. Deleted every associated file, and now my Smoothcam effect is back….

Ya it’s the FXPack that causes trouble with Motion crashing, smoothcam, and all the associated FXPlugs. The good news is that they released a new update a few days ago that solves all the problems. I downloaded it and everything works great now.

Can you give a little more info about this FX pac and the fix for smoothcam?
I’m in a bind. I have installed shake and lost smoothcam. I don’t know how to use shake yet.
Thanks

It’s been a while since I had this problem now, but as I remember it I got an error message upon opening Motion. The error message was regarding an installed FxPack from Noise Industries. After I cleared all files and folders related to this plugin-pack from my Mac, everything went back to normal. Why don’t you try and uninstall Shake and see what happens?

Thanks
I will.

Shake has a totally different user interface than what you might have seen before if you’re not familiar with node based software. If I remember correctly, Motion also has the SmoothCam filter built in. Using Motion, the learning curve might not be that steep if you’re in a hurry to stabilize your footage…
good luck!Tore
