Conduit

Conduit is a nodal compositor that can stand on its own, or actually sits inside of Motion and Final Cut Pro, or even After Effects and Photoshop. Nodal compositors provide a powerful flow-chart approach to compositing. Rather than thinking in layers, each node applies an operation. This approach is very popular in high-end facilities because it provides a very open ended way to create composites that are customized to each challenge. Now...it's available in Motion and Final Cut Pro through Conduit.

Conduit's Nodal Compositing interface allows you to have much of the power you would have in larger, more expensive solutions used for film work, without having to leave Final Cut Pro. Sometimes, all you need is a keyer (there are 3 keyers provided in Conduit), but sometimes your footage has a special problem that requires more than a simple "add a filter" type of problem. Conduit lets you, when you want to, really get under the hood and create your own custom solutions that really solve your specific problem with a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer.

In the end, this provides better quality results without long render times.
