"...bringing innovative graphics software to the editing and special effects community"

 

Noise Industries FxFactory "SUGARfx Video Wall 1.1 " (Retail Value $59) effects pack.  Video Wall 1.1 comes in 2 flavors to please every user: as a PRO version with all the controls to go crazy, or the LIGHT version to make it easy on those of you who just need the basic controls and nothing more.  Both versions are included in the package.  Twist, bend, zoom, make it look like a mortise, use as a transition, or if you can't find any other uses, try using it as a Video Wall.  

 

The controls available in this plug-in will let you do things that a regular Video Wall doesn't do.  Make your own creations and save them as Presets that you can use over and over again.  Or better yet, use the Presets included and start creating your own.  Both versions included come as a Generator and as a Filter, so that you can use this effects pack in any thinkable situation during your editorial process. Video Wall 1.1 will work in Final Cut Pro, Motion and Final Cut Express, as well as After Effects.
