Where to buy FE Light Sweep?
I need to make a last minute change on an AFX Project. My graphics guy moved out of the country and I won’t be able to contact him for a few months. I got all the files he used to make my project, but it’s missing one file when I open it “FE Light Sweep”. I did a little research and find out FE stands for “Final Effects”, a package from Media100 but also possibly from Boris. Boris has a bunch of packages available but I couldn’t find out if they contained this effect.
The Media100 site doesn’t work, the links to download demos or purchase the filter don’t work. Can anybody provide more background information on this filter? Know any places I’d be able to purchase it?
I tried using other light sweep filters, which happen to have almost exactly the same parameters. They don’t create the same effect though, the FE Light Sweep was on a text layer, and it gave the text an almost “3D” look in the way the light hit the text. With the other light sweep filters, it simply ‘lit up’ the text layer giving it a 2D look.

I have a friend who might be able to acquire the filter for me. Problem is that he thinks he’ll only be able to get the PC version while I’m on a Mac workstation here. Would it be compatible?

As Chris says, AE6.5 Pro has the final effects plugins as standard (CE), copying the parameters across from the m100 final effects version should work exactly the same. Boris I believe now owns all of Media100’s assets (hence why the website is probably in poor state of repair), …but am not sure about the licencing of the final effects bundle, whether Boris gets rights to it as well (as the original creators of the plugin set must have retained technology rights as they now provide a licence to Adobe for the normal versions, and they sell a pro version of the same plugins too (available to buy at all the usual online plugin suppliers).

Chris gave the solution to your current problem in the first reply, but in case your guy used other Final Effects Complete plugins in other projects you haven’t come across yet, ther’s more info on the status of that plugin set in this thread:
