CGM Plugins

[Tom Wolsky]

What version of the application is this? CGM is third party plugin software.

All the best,

FCP v5.1.4

If you don’t have the the plugin you should recreate the transition without it. It came with FCE in earlier versions of the software, v3 I think, and it still works if you move it over into recent versions.

All the best,

I realize that they’re 3rd party plug-ins. It’s strange because I’ve never used FCE, but somehow they’ve managed to get into my timeline even though I’ve used the regular FCP dissolve effect. I never intentionally downloaded these plug-ins. We do edit on different FCP systems on the same project, but we have always used the basic FCP FX’s. I don’t even have a CGM tab under Effects in the menu, so I’m not sure how they got in. Is this common?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

the FXScript DVEs came with Final Cut Pro 3 and Final Cut Express 1. Do you see any FXScript DVEs folders in your effects tab?

Of course, when you don’t see any difference between the original FCP Cross Dissolve and the CGM Cross Dissolve, you can replace them.

The CGM Cross Dissolve is always smooth because the transition isn’t just linear like Final Cut.

All the best,
Klaus
