FxFactory Pro
FxFactory Pro includes 176 filters, generators and transitions for Final Cut Pro, Motion, Final Cut Express and Adobe After Effects.
More than 140 of these effects are also available as Motion Templates for the newly released Final Cut Pro X.
Hardware Acceleration: FxFactory Pro plug-ins are accelerated using the graphics card for unbeatable previewing and rendering performance.
Masks: Built-in masking tools let you apply effects only to certain regions without the need for a separate compositing step:
Presets: FxFactory Pro plug-ins ship with many built-in presets, a time-saving feature to try new looks with minimal effort. Save your own presets to disc and recreate the same look later. Presets created in one host can be reused in all other supported hosts.
Help: Plug-in documentation is accessible in one click, right from the parameter inspector.
Unique Features: FxFactory Pro is the first visual effects package that lets you customize and create your own plug-ins for Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express and Adobe After Effects without writing a single line of code. The same powerful tools that allowed us to build FxFactory Pro plug-ins are available to you: create plug-ins that are specific to your projects, share them easily with other users.
One License, Multiple Hosts: A single license to FxFactory Pro unlocks its powerful plug-ins in all supported hosts: Final Cut Pro, Motion, Final Cut Express and Adobe After Effects.
Quality: A high-precision rendering engine allows you to apply effects to clips with more than 8-bits per color component without loss in quality.

I really like this package. For the purchase price you get a lot of good stuff and the system makes it easy to add (or try out) more. I cut a project where I had sent materials to other editors to cut for me. I asked them to install the free FxFactory and use the plugins in demo mode. After they sent me their finished sequences, I was able to reconnect media and render on my machine using the licensed version of all the effects. Convenient having it all those plugins on one license!
