  Slate Generator – FXScript? FXPlug? Motion?

  Posted by Ze’ev Gilad on February 11, 2012 at 1:59 am

  I spend a lot of time updating slates for multiple versions of projects.

  I would love to have a generator/plugin that automatically created the text for the slate.
  Ideally, it would contain the name of the Sequence and the current date / time.

  Is this possible with FXScript? I looked at FXPlug but it’s way over my head.

  Maybe through Motion?

  Thanks for any input …

  You have attempted to enter the mysterious twilight zone of FXScript. For some unknown reason, FXScript and everything related to it seems to have simply “stopped” a few years ago. I’m trying to create a few simple effects, and I’m about to give up on FXScript because there is just no documentation available any more, other than https://www.fxscriptreference.org/ which is just a list of the functions with very little description on how to actually string the things together.

  Oh well. Another technology left out in the cold to die.
