  • Anyone else having issues with FX Factory Pro Plugins?

    Posted by Michael W. towe on October 24, 2012 at 12:35 am

    Updated to 10.6 and I’m having real issues with FX Factory Pro plugins. I opened and older project that had some of the plugins applied and as soon as it start rendering I get an immediate crash. I have updated FX Factory to the latest version and that didn’t fix it. I am running under Lion 10.7.5.

    Anyone else seeing this?

    Seems OK for me, but all the film/video version of the Dfx/Tiffen filters now crash their host apps, including AE and FCP X. MB Looks seems OK.

    Update on this as I have done a little more poking around. I had the FX Factory transition applied to a Final Cut Title template that was created in Motion. Placing the effect on video does not cause this crash. Place it on a generated title tough and it’s goodnight.

    Me too – DFX detonates FCP-X. Arrrgh.

    One more issue I have discovered with FX Factory Pro transitions. If I drop a transition at the end of a secondary storyline, to transition back to the primary storyline, there with be a black box in the top right quarter of the screen on the last few frames.

    BTW does anyone know if Noise industries has a support forum anywhere? They seem to be rather covert with their support operations.

    We used to have one at the COW, but found that, even there, they were rather covert. 🙂 Members were asking questions that only the developers could answer, and after it became apparent that they just weren’t going to, we pulled the plug.

    I’d love to have ’em back.

    In all fairness I have to add that when I found out how to contact them they responded very quickly. I sent a few things their way and they assured me they were working on trying to replicate it. For what it’s worth I think the crashing may have been due to the fact that the Motion title template was created in an earlier version of Motion. I recreated in the current version and it didn’t crash.

    Quick update on this.

    I received an email form the Noise Industry folks with a link to the following page.

    Looks like they are working on the issue and for now this is the work around.
