Buy all the Natress effects. Then consider Boris Continuum. After that buy for specific needs. The ones you mention are all great as well. Are you the Rick Neely in Atlanta?

I just made a plug-in favorite list for a friend, so I’m pasting it here for your convenience:

All the best,

Wayne

The first thing I’d recommend is going through the links here and downloading all the free plug-ins available at the different sites – there is a lot of really great and helpful stuff:
https://www.google.co.za/search?q=free+fcp+plug-ins&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

and here:

The free Face-Light plug in a GREAT plug in, when used correctly – it can REALLY enhance the look and lighting of interviews:
https://www.haiku.com.au/ [see top right for plug-in download].

For Film-Look software, I think the best is:
https://redgiantsoftware.com/mbforeditors.html
You can create GREAT looks with this stuff – I love it.
It’s expensive and it takes forever to render but if you have a newer machine with a faster VIDEO-card, it will render faster, maybe even play real-time.
I would recommend that Aish buys it, and maybe a few licences of it for you guys.

These are also brilliant plug-ins – some are free, many are only $10, but are worth EVERY PENNY:

There’s some good stuff here:
https://nattress.com/

This is the best DVD-ripping software [for non-encrypted DVD’s]:
http://www.dvdxdv.com

And this is the best screen-capture software:
https://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
[I think I’ve already put the two above onto the Aish laptop]

And finally, a GREAT tool-kit that I find indispensable is:
https://www.borisfx.com/product/continuum/bcc/fcp/
It’s also expensive, but you can do a LOT with it, including superior chroma keying than FCP native keyer

This should be enough to get you started.

Have fun!

Thanks!

And yes, Richard. That’d be me. Great to hear from you. Just left you a voicemail. Hope to talk soon!

If rendering speed is important to you give FxFactory a Spin.
