Boston MA – June 18, 2008 – Noise
Industries, developer of visual effects tools for the
postproduction and broadcast markets, today announced
that development partner SUGARfx (www.sugarqc.com) has released
the FxFactory powered FxPacks Design Tools and
Slate Tools; time saving workflow plug-ins for
Apple Final Cut Studio® 2.0 and Apple Final Cut
Express 4.0 applications.
The new Design Tools and Slate Tools FxPacks can be used daily to ensure time-consuming tasks such as slate generation, color management, and precise object placement can be done quickly and with exact precision. SUGARfx created the Design Tools and Slate Tools FxPacks using the Noise Industries FxFactory Pro Plug-in Manager.
“These two releases come as part of the SUGARfx Design Tools series, plug-ins purpose-built for easing the pain points across the editing workflow. Daily tasks such as managing the position of elements, maintaining color accuracy and video slates are easily facilitated through Design Tools and Slate Tools FxPacks,” said Niclas Bahn, director of business development, Noise Industries. “The new SUGARfx plug-ins are something that all designers can appreciate the moment they load them and more importantly benefit every day they open their editing application.”
Design Tools FxPack Feature Highlights
The Design Tools FxPack provides users color perfect layouts and a wide range of guides to position elements accurately for every project. Plug-in highlights include:
Design Checker Guides automatically tell editors whether or not their projects will work with 35mm film, iPod formats, HD, SD and the other standards. Close-up previews visually show editors how their work may need to be cropped or changed in order to fit the final format.
Design Color Palette ensures colors remain true to specifications throughout entire projects. Users can create their own color palette presets and share them with other editors; maintaining color consistency throughout the production process.
Design Proportional Guides is an assistant type feature used for creating well-balanced layouts. The Design Custom Guides helps editors position everything and anything on the screen accurately over time. This plug-in is ideal for logo placement or titling, or menu layouts that need to be done more than once. Editors can save and share presets.
The Preview Player plug-in previews media in mobile media formats. The preview allows editors to view elements as they would be displayed in final format – enabling them to make the necessary adjustments for optimum viewing prior to finishing.
Slate Tools FxPack Feature Highlights
The Slate Tools FxPack automates slate production. Plug-in highlights include:
The Slate Master plug-in automates the building of commonly used slates. The feature includes 4 styles with comprehensive controls for adjusting slate parameters and 21 pre-set slate templates. Editors can increase productivity and creativity by focusing on more creative aspects of the production, as opposed to slate production.
The Slate Warning plug-in provides a simple solution for automating the creation of copyright warnings and disclaimer notices. Users can animate scrolling, add custom logos, and adjust color and other slate effects elements. Editors can save their presets and share with other users increasing overall collaboration
