FxPlug Plug-ins

FxPlug plug-ins are included as part of the Final Cut Studio installation process.
Final Cut Pro may not support some FXPlug plug-ins. See

“Plug-in Formats Supported by

Final Cut Pro”

for more information. For more information about plug-ins available with

Motion, see the Motion User Manual, available in Motion Help.

Using the Mix Parameter

FxPlug effects in Motion and Final Cut Pro display a parameter called Mix that allows you
to blend the video image with and without the filter applied. When Mix has a value of
100 percent, only the affected image is displayed. When the value is 0 percent, the image
appears as it would without the effect. Values between 0 percent and 100 percent blend
the unaffected and affected image. You can use the Mix parameter to apply a filter in a
more subtle way, or you can set Mix parameter keyframes to fade an effect in or out.
