| The simplicity of the filters, combined with the native Avid interface, reduces the learning curve to virtually zero. Most filters feature less than a dozen parameters; only a few simple adjustments are required to create totally unique organic effects. Quickly generate full-featured two-dimensional and three-dimensional animations including ball action, explosions, distortions, jet trails, and hair. FEC AVX also delivers a complete range of unique auto-animating transitions. Ranging from graceful blurs to radical warps, FEC AVX lets you easily create dramatic effects with minimal adjustment.

New in Version 5
FEC 5 AVX brings the timeless classics of Ball Action and Mr. Mercury back to Avid platform along with over 100 other filters as an AVX 2.0 plugin set. Supporting Universal Binary on Mac, the new FEC 5 AVX takes full advantage of AVX 2.0 editing power and performance. The highlights include:
- 16 bit color processing
- RT filters
- Advanced Keyframing
- Multi-threaded rendering
- EZ Parameter mode: view most commonly used parameters at a glance
- Edited and Modified Parameter view
- Custom Spline UI
In addition FEC 5 AVX borrows the following features from BCC technology:
- Preset Load and Save
- Motion Tracker for most commonly used point controls
- PixelChooser built into most filters
- Integrated Help system
- Apply to Title Matte function
FEC 5 AVX version brings seven new Transitions to the set:
- Lens Wipe: The incoming image Zooms in with a lens effect -the lens then undistorts to complete the transition
- Spherize Wipe: The incoming image Zooms in with a Spherize effect -the Spherize then undistorts to complete the transition
- Griddler Wipe: The incoming image Zooms in with a Griddler effect -the Spherize then undistorts to complete the transition
- Pin Wipe: The incoming image Zooms in with it's 4 corners pinned to user chosen points (as in Power Pin Effect). The 4 corners then move to the corners of the image, completing the transition
- Slant Wipe: The incoming image Pans in with a Slant effect effect -the Slant then undistorts to complete the transition.
- Rain Wipe: The in coming image is wiped in matted with synthetic rain, which becomes dense enough to cover the whole image, completing the effect
- Blur Dissolve: The incoming and outgoing images are blurred, with the blur automatically animating to 0 at the end of the effect when the image becomes fully visible, completing the effect. Apply modes can be used with the blurs to create glow and other unusual effects. Apply modes can be applied to the dissolve phase to boost contrast in the middle of the effect. This feature can be used very effectively without the blur to create an enhanced dissolve.
All of the new transitions have hold and ease controls at the start of the effect and additional transition specific controls to allow the user to control effect timing without keyframes. |
