The first thing you’ll notice about Noise Industries’ FxFactory plug-ins- the only major plug-in package to support FxPlug, Apple’s modern architecture for film-quality effects – is their speed: anywhere between 4x and 20x faster than comparable, unaccelerated effects. What’s even cooler is you are seeing this level of performance inside Final Cut Pro. Contrary to other packages that are limited by the After Effects SDK, FxFactory plug-ins are entirely GPU accelerated, they work seamlessly in Final Cut Pro and Motion, and support both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs out of the box.

FxFactory lets you roll your own plug-ins without writing a single line of code. In practical terms, that means any professional user with experience in node-based compositing can create GPU accelerated plug-ins that can be reused across any number of projects, in both FCP and Motion. You can then create and distribute those plug-ins among other FxFactory users and share these goodies online via a community called the FxMarket (www.noiseindustries.com/fxmarket).
