  • Good sharpening workflow for FCPX? A quality 3rd party plugin to recommend?

    Posted by Stephen Underwood on October 24, 2012 at 12:19 am

    I’m not finding anything for sharpening clips within FCX. Searched ‘help’ but no hits. Saw a post about “Lyric” plugin, but I don’t see FCPX listed for the product.
    Noise Factory was mentioned in another post. Found FxFactory as free download to use their plugins, but no specific product for sharpening. Any recommendations for a good sharpening tool for FCPX? Also, is sharpening best done last, after exposure correction, color grading (and even [Lock/Load] stabilizing)? Thanks!

    Not sure if this would help but you could probably make your own effect in motion for free.
