About Scene Detector
A utility that will analyze your footage, directly or referenced by Final Cut XML file. If input was a Final Cut XML file, it asks you to choose the clip to work on, then detects the positions of scenes and generates a Final Cut project in XML format with markers added at the position of each scene.

Alternatively it can work directly with any raw video file - it this case it can export information about scenes in various formats (EDL, CSV, HTML and others) or produce a video files for each scene found.

Scene Detector uses QuickTime for super fast decoding of media. It can utilize several CPU threads; it allows to pause search process; threshold for similarity of frames is user-configurable!]]> Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/borisred.html The only integrated 3D compositing, titling, and effects application to deliver unparalleled performance to NLEs.

Perfect companion to iLife. About Morph Age
The application for morphing/warping images and movies on Mac OS X, such as faces, and save the result to a QuickTime movie. Morph Age is the perfect companion to iLife (iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD) for creating stunning video of your friends and family and even to Final Cut Pro for creating broadcast quality special effects.

Morph Age works by allowing you to define curves on one or more images. Any change made on the curves is reflected on the resulting image through the corresponding distorsion and morphing effect.
Morph Age can animate warp curves independently, so that different parts of the image moves at different times (the eyes, then the ears, then the mouth…). Also, animation effects are available, such as springy motion. Morph Age shows the result in real time, so that you can quickly and easily prototype the transformation.

Morph Age has an extremely fast, novel rendering engine that combines CPU operations (faster on G5) and graphic card power. It enables real-time rendering on mega pixel images still being accurate to sub-pixel.]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/graphicnovellook.html Gives clips an ‘arty’ Graphic Novel treatment. This filter uses a proprietary algorithm to produce a look unlike conventional ‘Cel Shaders’. About Graphic Novel Look
The Graphic Novel Look plugin gives clips an ‘arty’ Graphic Novel treatment. Not quite the movie 300, but interesting… This filter uses a proprietary algorithm to produce a look unlike conventional ‘Cel Shaders’. The effect works best on HD material.

About Look Sweet plugin package
The Look Sweet group of plugins consists of three plugins: Mr. Fixit, Vibrance+, and Glamour. Mr. Fixit is the ultimate footage rescue system. Mr. Fixit, using HDR photography techniques, builds the brightest possible shadows and the darkest possible highlights and allow you to mix them back into the original image without affecting the color.

Vibrance+ gives you fine control over saturation and desaturation of your clips - it increases chroma more in the lower saturation areas, so you get a more vibrant image. Dragging the slider negative decreases the chroma in higher saturation areas more than lower ones. The “plus” modes are Pastel, which lightens the high chroma areas and makes them pale. And Enhance, which slightly brightens higher chroma areas so can give people an “inner glow”.

Glamour gives your footage the final polish. One user described it as sprinkling gold dust on everything. It’s a combination of sharpening highlights and softening shadows. It can really bring dull footage to life. ]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/graphicnoveltoolkit.html Designed to allow you to create a rich and varied spectrum of “looks” consistent with the Graphic Novel universe. About Graphic Novel Toolkit
The image styles in graphic novels are as varied as the stories they contain. You may find several different looks in panels on the same page. When I wrote Graphic Novel Toolkit the goal was threefold: Make it flexible, Make it easy to use, Make it fast…

With these controls: Amount, Grit, Ink Color, Density, Intensity and Blend Mode, the looks you can build are limitless. You have 15 presets: Warm, Cool, Matrix, Gritty Matrix, Matrix II, Warm Contrast, Newsprint, Blueprint, Redprint, Colored Pencils, Rich Warm, Rich Cool, Red Alert, Blue Deep, and Deep Grit, available to access a spectrum of looks with a single click. And finally, The image processing in this plugins was designed to be as streamlined as I know how to make it - this means no outlines or distortions - but you’re not sacrificing much - with the power provided, you can get a reasonable RT frame rate on a basic Mac Pro Quad with HD material. This should let you play to your hearts content before having to render… I just think it looks cool. Try the demo, see if you do too…]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/digitalcoverup.html “Electronic Clearasil” in a Final Cut Pro plugin. About Digital Coverup
You first select the color of the blemish, then select the skin tone, and it colors the former to match the latter, along with smoothing if specified. The coverup keys on color, so the color of the blemish must be distinct enough from normal skintone for DCU to isolate it.

Dealing with footage of my adolescent daughter inspired me to write this plugin. If you’ve ever had to deal with a client who refused makeup for that bruise or blemish, try this plugin. For once you may actually be able to fix it in post.

Digital Coverup can be used for changing the color of and/or smoothing anything you can isolate colorwise. It’s been successfully used to change eye color, tone down the highlight on a bald spot, and change the color of a blanket from pink to blue. Need to make your grass greener? ]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/videopainter.html The Video Painter gives your movie an artistic/painterly look. About Video Painter
Video Painter started out as a project to re-create the look of those old pin up photos from the ’40s/’50s - Like Vargas/Petty girl pictures, but then it kept growing… and became Video Painter.

There are four sections to the plugin: Style, Color, Effect, and Inking. Style affects the texture/brush strokes of the painting look. Color is for color correction. Effect lets you mix back the unaffected material, and Inking adds lines that can be used to add detail edging (like cartoons), but at the lower default settings, they add a subtle crispness and shading to the image.

With the number of sliders and buttons, Painter can seem pretty complicated to use, however, various presets are available to make it easier to get a look that you’re interested in. These include Clean Sharp, Dark Moody, Bold Thick, Bizarro I and Bizarro II, as well as a Standard DEF setting. ]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/boriscontinuumuprez.html Specially designed for conversion of SD footage to higher-resolution HD formats.

About EditGroove UserMatic

Features include:
- The ability to Save and then Load any of an unlimited number of FCP “profiles” … each one containing an entire set of user customizations for Final Cut Pro.
- One-button Backup: of that entire library of profiles into a single date/timestamped .ZIP file. Useful for further versioning and archiving, as well as conveniently transporting FCP user preferences from one facility to another (e.g., via a USB flash drive).

Decimal Counter is an easy to use, fully featured counter for Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, Motion & After Effects. What makes Decimal Counter so different is that it has been designed from the ground up to display proportional fonts in a monospace way. This eliminates the jitter of character spacings normally seen by other basic number counters. Using a tricky font like Zapfino is no problem, the result will be beautifully smooth increments.

You would of course expect to be able to use any font, any colour and have a fully adjustable drop shadow, but Decimal Counter is a bit smarter than that. DC offers global character spacing, three ways of ranging so that numbers can anchor on left, right or centre positions.

It also has a toggle to select the display of separators on/off. The display of these will also show the correct separators depending on your country localisation settings. Want to show an animating price? No problem! Decimal Counter can add a country specific currency symbol to the front of the numbers.
