Using the Beta Plugins

Use the download link on any page to get the latest set, including all current beta plugins. Registered users can test the beta tools without watermarks.

Betas are being developed and tested using FCP 5.1. Feedback is helpful and encouraged, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to support for previous versions of FCP and FCE.
