We have just launched XEffects Camera Transitions for Final Cut Pro X and already they have proved to be very popular.We had a variety of these effects already built way back when the timeline rendering in FCPX was extremely slow. So with a quick dust off and the addition of some fresh effects, we decided to wrap them up into a pack for customers.
We have already had some amazing feedback from users and it is a pack that we shall continue to add to.
To answer some of the questions we have had regarding the promo shoot, we shot on a Canon C300 and a couple of 5D MkIIs. All were set to flat picture styles which we tweaked in FCPX on the colourboard. The Nikon in the promo is an F2AS which we very kindly borrowed from a friend and is in full working order and very collectable!

The main XEffects Camera Transitions demo.
Sometimes demo videos look confusing. What effect is happening where? Is that an effect or a camera move? Is that included in the pack?
This video shows the demo video with a splitscreen with the shots without the transitions. The Motordrives and Photo Booth effects are one instance of the effects, not multiples. A great way to see exactly what you get for the money.

A great user review and tutorial from Dan Allen.
And finally, just to prove that on shoots, not everything goes as planned!
Due to popular request, we have made XEffects Tech Transitions & 3D Transitions available for use with Snow Leopard.We understand that many users can't upgrade instantly to the latest and greatest version of Mac OS, but they still want to use great effects. That is why we have made two standalone instances of our very popular Final Cut Pro X only plugins.
To get these two plugins running on Snow Leopard, first install FxFactory 3.0.4
Then download & install the individual plugins.

Restart FCPX and enjoy the plugins!
We've expanded XEffects 3D Transitions with two great new effects. They come with the usual camera options you would expect from this popular pack of plugins such as focal length, depth of field and lighting.
Box Roll Split has taken the popular Box Roll effect and split it in half! Each section rotates in a different direction to rejoin for the incoming video. The direction and number of spins can be changed by selecting one of the presets
Big Inside Corner rotates the video as if you were on the inside of a big cube looking at the internal faces. Four presets are offered for left, right, down & up
Keep an eye on this $49 pack of transitions for FCPX as we have more to add in the future.

Volumetrix and ParticleMetrix have been best sellers on the Final Cut Pro, FCPX and Motion platforms. We can now announce that both plugins are available for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on the Mac.

We have spent a lot of time getting these transitions right and we believe they make similar products look very flat in comparison. Let's face it, if something moves in 3D would you not expect the lighting and reflections to change? A working copy was finished in March but it wasn't the last few months of fine tuning were these great effects ready for the market. There's some clever stuff going on in there! It is also a collection we can see adding to as we have some great ideas to expand this pack.
Even before the official launch this plugin pack has been super-successful, so thank you to everybody involved in getting this great pack of effects to market.

We are pleased to announce that we have updated the very popular, flexible and creative Volumetrix light spill plugin to version 2.1.
The previous version supported Final Cut Pro X, but everybody asked us if we could build all the cool presets from FCP7 into effects. So that's exactly what we have done: all 64 of them, transitions too.
Volumetrix still supports Final Cut Pro 7, Motion 4&5, Final Cut Express 4 and Adobe After Effects with one licence working for all hosts. The best news is that the 2.1 upgrade is free to all existing licence holders.
If you already use Volumetrix, then you'll know that the rays, glows, glints and object transparency are all controlled by one easy to use parameter. No hassle having to mask the object underneath the effect, we do all the hard work for you. The wipe, rays or glow travel are set by one rotary parameter giving a full 360 degree choice of effect direction.
If you haven't tried it before, you can instantly get great volumetric lighting effects with one click by adding a preset to text, images and video or use the effect as a starting point for your own custom reveal, conceal or highlight. We also decided to publish all the plugin parameters in each effect, so every timing, display option and volumetric light type can be adjusted without having to load up another preset.
Volumetrix is bundled into the free FxFactory installer and will work for free as a watermarked trial. If you're from the press or an industry blogger and would like a licence, please let us know by emailing info (at) idustrialrevolution.com. Press information and images can be found in our Press Area.
We have added two new effects to XEffects Tech Transitions in the recent May 2012 update. Bringing the pack up from 28 effects to 30, we have added Crosshair Wipe and UTube Buffer. This is a free upgrade to all existing XEffects Tech Transitions customers.Crosshair Wipe is a great way to transition between video or to reveal or conceal overlaid graphics. The size, colour and drop shadow of the line can be adjusted in the inspector. A four way drop down menu gives the editor a choice of wipe travel direction.
UTube Buffer simulates the pause and buffering of popular video sharing websites. The outgoing video freezes, the rotating circle animation then reveals the incoming clip. The dimming of the paused videos and size & speed of the animating circles can be adjusted in the effect inspector.
XEffects Tech Transitions is priced at $49 and is designed only for Final Cut Pro X (FCPX)

It has taken us a long time in the planning and execution, but we are now very pleased to say that the new Idustrial Revolution website is up and running!
The old website just wasn't flexible enough for us to be able to expand into selling our exciting new range of XEffects for FCPX, so it had to go. It's a bit like trading in your old car for a brand new model. You're excited about the new one, but in a way, sad that you are saying goodbye to an old friend that served you well.
Websites have changed a lot in the 5 years since we first started the site and our new design will hopefully be easier to navigate and be able to display more products in a clearer way in customer's browsers.
We've gone big and media rich. This might not suit everybody's download speed, but we are working on the assumption that if you are interested in FCP/FCPX plugins and editing then the chances are you're not on dialup! We are also not perfect and should you come across any issues with the new site such as broken links then please do not hesitate to get in touch with us via the about page. You can contact us via numerous means, the best one being the email address on the about page.
Please come back to us often, we intend to maximise the creative potential Final Cut Pro X and Motion can bring to customers' videos buy launching fresh and creative new products on a regular basis.
We'd also like to say a quick thank you to our superb web team, Sameer who does the arty stuff and David who spends many hours making sure his pixels line up the way they were designed.
Lastly we wish you a very Happy New Year and look forward to an exciting time in the editing community and FCP ecosystem.
What are XEffects?
XEffects is the brand name we've given our new product line of effects for Final Cut Pro X. When FCPX was launched last June, the ability to build custom effects in Motion 5 and export them to Final Cut opened up a whole new exciting world to us. We've been busy ever since.
Tech Transitions is our first product especially for Final Cut Pro X, the second is almost ready to go, the third is in good shape and we already have tested out functionality in the fourth. So as you might be able to tell it is going to be a busy time getting these exciting new products ready for market.
We've got many more effects planned for the future, but we are more than happy to recieve ideas, improvements or any bugs you might encounter using our products.
