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.

You have sliders to adjust the color and luma contrasts and inking parameters.]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/electronicmakeupartist.html Total beauty treatment in a plugin.

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 Boris Continuum UpRez
Specially designed for conversion of SD footage to higher-resolution HD formats. The UpRez filter employs sophisticated image sampling techniques with edge detection, providing a final result that cannot be achieved by scaling and standard post-processing methods. Boris Continuum UpRez also includes an Optical-flow based Deinterlace filter for converting interlaced SD material to progressive scan format. ]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/finalcutassistant.html The Essential Toolset for maintaining and optimizing your Final Cut Pro system. About Final Cut Assistant
The Essential Toolset for maintaining and optimizing your Final Cut Pro System.

- Reset Final Cut Pro: You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Pro back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Pro user preference settings to their original state, use the Reset Final Cut Pro command.
- Empty Cache: Waveform and thumbnail cache files are temporary files Final Cut Pro creates when you import media files. A waveform cache file contains a waveform overview for audio in your project. Thumbnail cache files store small representative images of your clips that appear in the Browser and Timeline.

If you’re working with a project that’s frequently updated, you may want to empty the cache to make Final Cut Pro recreate the latest waveform and thumbnail versions of your media files. ]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/titleexchange.html A unique tool which makes complicated things simple and fast when juggling with subtitles in the Final Cut Studio environment. About TitleExchange
If you ever wished to get your titles out of Final Cut Pro into DVD Studio Pro (or another DVD authoring application), as text file for a translation bureau, get titles into Final Cut Pro from another source like DVD Studio Pro, Avid or STL, create titles with Motion Templates or create a QT movie with all your FCP subtitles without the need of rendering or just “equalize” your titles within Final Cut Pro - TitleExchange will be your “one stop” tool.

TitleExchange Pro and the free version of it did help hundreds of companies (from big ones “down” to all the indies) to create and manage subtitles for thousands of movies in a shorter time than ever before — saving both costs and “personal abrasion”. ]]> Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/editgrooveusermatic.html Comprehensive user preferences/configurations manager for Final Cut Pro.

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.
