  • What is fx factory? Do I need it? Is it safe?

    Posted by Andreas Ahston on June 29, 2014 at 6:32 pm

    I installed the trial to speedgrade which freezes everytime i triy to load my premiere sequence. According to this forum (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1489931), the solution is to update fx- factory. I don’t have fx factory yet and before I install it, i would like to know exactly what it is and if there might be any reason not to install it? It seems to be one of those things, where everybody who knows the answer, think it’s too obviouis to mention it. Well it’s not. I’ve got a completely updated os x on a new macbook pro retina.

    FxFactory is a fantastic set of plugins for PP, AE, FCP X, and Motion. It is absolutely safe and very well behaved.

    Check it out directly at fxfactory.com

    I use quite a few of the available plugins.

    um. i just installed this to demo a plugin and really regret it. premiere takes ages to load (or crashes on loading) and there is no uninstaller – just trashing the application certainly does not work. not sure wether this is intentional or just very bad design, but either way DO NOT INSTALL this. i’ll spend some time now sifting through the innards of my system trying to get rid of this crap…

    yes, but it does still come up when searching for this question and i wish i would have gotten better advice then the one stated above, hence the post. that said: there is a kind of uninstall feature hidden within the app itself, somewehre in the menu “actions” (had to reinstall to use just that), that seems to kinda work. seriously, what sort of design decision is that?!? i’d call this almost malicious.
