Why FxFactory?

They used to show tutorials using PP where you couldn’t apply transitions between two clips as normal. I think you hand to have them on different tracks or something. Has that changed? Do transitions now work normally? I actually asked Dennis about this on this forum and he mentioned that users needed to contact the plugin makers.

ALL transition functions in Premiere are EXTREMELY WEAK. Transitions with most plug-in packages (not just FxF) don’t work well in Premiere. As far as transitions, right now NOTHING can touch what’s out there for FCP X.

I like it, too. It’s just that I have Photoshop, so that’s second nature.

I agree that transitions in Premiere are really weak. Most plugins I’ve tried don’t work as transitions, they work as effects in Premiere Pro so that’s why you have to have videos in two tracks etc. to get those working. Very cumbersome.

Best transitions I’ve found for Premiere Pro are Filmimpacts’ Transition Pack 1 & 2 (https://www.filmimpact.net/index.php/plugins). Those actually work as transitions and offer good quality.

The transition architecture probably is related to how things were engineered in AE.

So you can make FCPX effects/transitions using Pixelmator?
After creating one, do you need to have Pixelmator installed? (f.e. using the effect in another computer).
Thanks!

No. Go back and re-read what I wrote. FCP X effects that users can make are Motion templates. These have NOTHING to do with Pixelmator. Different technologies.

[Oliver Peters] ”
Absolutely not. The FxF Pro filters are programmed using Core Image, which is different than a Motion template.”

Okay, but still pretty cool that they can be used within Pixelmator also.

Thanks,

Ae’s architecture does not support editorial transitions. Thinking in terms of one asset per layer, Ae has no idea of incoming/outgoing clips or transition duration, so transitions seem weird as you have to define these things manually.

Premiere’s architecture, though, naturally supports normal editorial transitions.

The problem is that many developers have historically targeted Ae for their plugins (since they can be written to run in both Ae and Pr) instead of Pr-native plugins.

Transitions are now natively supported in Premiere Pro:
