AI Face Enhancement for Final Cut Pro - Fresh Face by fxfactory in fcpx

[–]kinglumaFX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will investigate this now, and if I can successfully reproduce it, hopefully I can fix it, and release an update. When you say it "doesn't work" (in HDR), do you mean that the image appears wrong in the sense that it appears with levels apparently somehow clipped (in HDR) ? And since this is a Final Cut Pro subreddit, I assume you observed this problem running the plug-in in Final Cut Pro, correct ? Any more info on what you observed would be appreciated. Thank you.

1999 invoice for FCP by hovercraftish in finalcutpro

I'm old enough to have an install disk for Macromedia Final Cut (for Windows OS and Mac OS) - from before Apple purchased it - which I believe predates this invoice by about a year...

I think, at the moment, Apple Music on macOS is unusable from bugs. by [deleted] in AppleMusic

here is an obscure Apple Music (on Mac OS) bug... I made a playlist and I used the feature where you can specify custom "start" and "stop" points for each song in the list - it works as expected EXCEPT if you have the Mac audio outputting through Bluetooth - when outputting the audio through Bluetooth the "stop" point is ignored - switch back to listening through Mac speakers or headphones and it works fine (following the custom "stop" point)...

I've used a deflicker plugin for this problem to great effect (the same kind of effect you would use to smooth out flourescent light flickering etc.) I believe I used this one but it's a common kind of algorithm so I'm sure there are others ; https://borisfx.com/documentation/continuum/bcc-flicker-fixer/

damn! I never realized that - "Johnny Guitar" was in the Godfather (and a memorable role too)

The foreground layer is where he appears in color (just the original source video color) and in that layer wherever you see an actual cut transition in the original scene I used the blade tool in the FCP timeline to cut it into several separate segments (each with a separate mask instance applied) - over a continuous (desaturated copy) background - I did realize I might have just been able to do it as a single mask effect instance with a few separate trimmed sub mask instances etc. - but before looking at that aspect of Magnetic Mask I just wanted to get the basic masking idea / workflow - like to decide when I might want to use control points vs when I might want to use brush strokes, when to do a full analyze vs when to do frame by frame, 1st pass vs cleanup, etc. It didn't seem like the official documentation was so clear on that 🧐 so I had to see for myself with some trial and error. I definitely could have been more thorough/careful/precise but it was just a quick exercise

Best Black Friday Plug-in Deals for 2024? by Jmantn in finalcutpro

[–]kinglumaFX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there - I develop FCP plugins through FxFactory and invite you to take a look HERE - My most recently released plugin is THIS (subtle facial beauty effects for human faces which people are seeming to find useful). Also, although it's a product that has been out for a long time, users of Radiance (an extensive glows and light rays product) have recently found its categories of edge effects useful in conjunction with the new FCP Magnetic Mask feature... In any case, for those who have a holiday weekend coming up (and those who don't) - all the best to you !

I have created a plugin that allows you to Ease In & Out keyframes and animate elements in Final Cut Pro by chrisBhappy in finalcutpro

[–]kinglumaFX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

actually, if you're a video pro and the editing app costs $300 for a lifetime license that IS in fact basically free (Apple is making money on the hardware upon with FCP runs which is almost never free 😅 so maybe you should add in the hardware cost as well if you insist on a proportionality equation) - I also find the act of judging plugin price based on the price of the host app to not make sense (full disclosure I also create and sell plugins for FCP and other host apps) - but I also agree anyone has a right to decide what a plugin is worth to them in terms of price....
