FxFactory SUGARfx Toolbox: Design Tools

Designing in Final Cut is probably not a good idea, but when the time comes and you need to create specific layouts or maintain a color palette for your client's brand, then you definitely need the tools that help you achieve what's in your creative mind or what is required by your client. The Design Tools from SUGARfx will give you the basic and most needed tools to create well balanced, color perfect layouts and all the guides you can think of to position your elements in your Canvas accurately, time after time. Checker Guides The Design Tools include the Checker Guides to examine if your work will play nice with 35mm film, the iPod formats, HD, SD and the other standards. These guides will give you a close preview of how your work may need to be cropped or changed in order to fit the format of your choice. Color Palette A Color Palette to make sure your client branding colors keep accurate and constant throughout all the elements. You can create a specific preset with your client's color palette and share it with your fellow editors to maintain the colors constant throughout the production process. This is a real timesaver! Digital Signage If you work in the advertising industry then the Digital Signage plug-in is for those of you who edit in what is now known as one of the newest emerging markets of advertising. The Digital Signage is becoming a standard in advertising, and when you edit in this vertical format, you need to have an external monitoring system that switches your image sideways. The Digital Signage plug-in helps you when you are on the road or in the field and have no capabilities of external sideways monitoring. Proportional Guides The Proportional Guides that creates proportional divisions to create well balance layouts. If you are familiar with the rule of three in video production, you'll see the benefit of these guides immediately and start creating layouts that really send a message in a visually pleasant manner. Custom Guides The Custom Guides that help you position everything and anything in the screen accurately time after time. You simply decide how many guides you need in any direction (up to 10) and place them where your elements need to go. This is perfect for logo placement or titling, or menu layouts that need to be done more than once. Save those presets and reuse them when your client or promo director says they need another layoff exactly as one someone else did a month ago. Preview Player And the bonus Preview Player plug-in that lets you preview your work in some of the most popular mobile players around, so you can check it and make the necessary adjustments to your work if it needs to be more legible or improve format compatibility.
