A ‘Render-less’ widescreen generator, this is so efficient that it plays back in real-time on most systems even in SafeRT.

Extending Generator Duration

This only applies to generators placed from the Viewer window. I suggest the following to create a generator of any length you need with whatever your favorite settings are:

1. Open the generator in the Viwer.
2. Set it to whatever your preferred settings are.
3. Switch Viewer back to Video (previewing the effect) and drag the video into the Browser.
4. Click Duration in the Generator’s Browser column, set it to whatever you want, ie. 30 minutes.
5. When you drag that generator into the timeline, it will be preset with your preferred settings and 30 minutes long.

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.
