For Final Cut Pro

Final Cut Pro plugins, titles and transitions

158 native Apple Motion plugins for Final Cut Pro, and the tools around them, in one Mac app: Awesome Video Studio. It has two halves. Editors is where the plugins for your editor live. Tools work on your footage and your exports, and some of them run right inside Final Cut Pro.

The app

One app, two halves: Editors and Tools

Awesome Video Studio is a native Mac app. The sidebar is split in two, and so is everything it does.

EditorsPick your editor, get its pluginsInside each editor are the plugins built for it. On Final Cut Pro that is 158 titles, effects, transitions and generators, installed and updated from the app.ToolsWork on footage and exportsPreflight checks a finished export for mistakes. A Final Cut Pro extension cuts silences and filler words without leaving your timeline. More is on the way.

Editors

Your editor, with its plugins inside

Choose an editor in the sidebar and you get its catalogue. For Final Cut Pro the plugins are grouped the way Final Cut Pro groups them, by the browser you drag them from:

111 titles Titles browser
37 effects Effects browser
8 transitions Transitions browser
2 generators Generators browser

Filter by category, see what is installed and what is not, and search by name. Install what you want, quit Final Cut Pro once and open it again. Every plugin name starts with Awesome, so they sort to the top of your browsers instead of being scattered through them.

Fixes reach you the same way: when we correct a plugin, the app offers the update and downloads only what changed. You never copy files into a templates folder. More about installing and updating.

DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro and After Effects already have their place in the sidebar, marked Soon. Nothing is on sale for them yet.

Tools

Tools for the rest of the job

The plugins make the edit. The tools catch what goes wrong around it, and save the boring hours. Everything runs on your Mac: no upload, no cloud account.

Preflight In the app

Check an export before you deliver it. Drop the finished video and every frame is read in order, none skipped, looking for the mistakes that are embarrassing to send to a client:

Missing media or effect. Final Cut's red alert rendered into the export, full frame or hidden in one layer, with where in the frame it is.
Media offline. The red offline frame from Premiere and Resolve.
Black frames in the middle of the video.
Flash frames: stray one or two frame shots left between clips.
Frozen picture inside a shot that should be moving.
Soft shots that look out of focus.
Faces you may need to blur.
Private data on screen: emails, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, card numbers, IBANs, ID numbers and IP addresses.
Custom words you list: a client's name, your company, a person.

What it finds comes back as markers. Sure problems are to-do markers; anything doubtful is a CHECK marker, so you decide instead of an algorithm. Drag in the Final Cut Pro project as well and the markers land on the right clips, on a copy of your timeline. Editing elsewhere? It also writes markers for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.

Preflight in Awesome Video Studio: a list of checks to run, from Missing Media or Effect to Custom Words, next to a drop zone for an exported video.

The Final Cut Pro extension Inside Final Cut Pro

A panel that opens inside Final Cut Pro, so you never leave your timeline. It carries Preflight and a second tool, Rough Cut, that takes the dead air out of talking-head footage.

Silences, breaths, filler words (um, uh, ah), coughs, sneezes and other noises. Speech is analysed on your Mac, in English and Spanish.
Every cut on a waveform. See where it cuts, click a cut to keep that pause, and preview the result before you commit. You see the length before and after.
Presets per client. Every client has their own rhythm. Start from Tight, Natural or Keep Rhythm, tune it, and save it under their name for next time.

It works on multicam. Drag a multicam clip you have already synced into the panel, cut it, and drag it back into an event: you get a new project, already cut, with every angle still switchable. It points at the same media, so nothing is reimported or transcoded.

The Rough Cut panel inside Final Cut Pro: a waveform marked with 56 cuts, presets named Tight, Natural and Keep Rhythm, sliders for silence level and pause length, and filler word options.

Organizer Beta

Point it at your footage folders and search every clip by what is seen, said or written in it. It suggests names so you can rename clips in bulk, and flags the ones with sensitive data on screen. All on your Mac.

Organizer is in beta: it works, it is still changing, and you will find rough edges.

Organizer in Awesome Video Studio, with library views for All Videos, Ready to Rename and Sensitive Data, and a search field for what you see, hear or read.

On the bench Alpha

Things we are trying out. They are alpha, not even beta, and some may never reach a release, so do not buy for them.

The catalogue

Every Final Cut Pro plugin in the collection

158 plugins in 35 categories, grouped the same way they appear in Awesome Video Studio. Each card shows whether those are titles, effects, transitions or generators, because that is what decides where you drag them from.
