Disable Plug-ins at Start up

[Jeremy Garchow]

This, but it works with fcpxml: https://www.spherico.com/filmtools/X-Files/X-FXHandler/

Thanks Jeremy thats awesome!

Have you had any experience with it?

[Jeremy Garchow]

Yes, I use it to clear effects from fcpxmls that are going out to Resolve or elsewhere for conform.

It’s super easy, works well, and does the job. It shows you a list of effects, you can choose to delete them all, or just the ones you don’t want, and then it autosaves this deletion back to the fcpxml. Import that XML when you’re done and there are no more effects.

If you like it, be sure to donate! 🙂

Last night with client I tried the XML export into Resolve and got me further into the timeline.
The tip you sent will be the best option since the files were acting up in Resolve.
I have to get this going in FCPX.

Thanks again Jeremy.

Does it list all effects, titles, generators and transitions? Even in compound clips? We bought Producer’s Best Friend for this specific purpose and it can’t do it.

[Jeremy Garchow]

Anything that is based off of a motion template, it should see. I haven’t tested every combination/permutation, but it seems to do a good job of listing everything, even in compounds.

Is there any way to disable all plug-ins in a project before opening?
I keep inheriting these projects with multitudes of plug-ins that I don’t own (or plan to own).
And if there isn’t a way, whats the quickest way of deleting all plug-ins in a project?

That’s what X-FX is made for.

For any experience with the the app ask the production team of “Focus”.
They used it on a daily base while producing the movie.
