Dissolve Factory Updated
Chicago,IL - Buena Software, Inc. announced the release of an update to their Dissolve Factory plugin for creating new types of transitions in After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and now Final Cut Express.
This update, which is free to registered users, adds support for Apple’s Final Cut Express video editing application. In addition, it now works as a transition rather than an effect in Final Cut Pro making it significantly easier to use. Users can read more about Dissolve Factory and purchase it for $39.95 from Buena’s website.
This update eliminates the tedious work with the razor tool in Final Cut Pro that previous versions required. Since it is now a full-fledged transition, instead of an effect plugin, you can even set it up as your default transition.
Dissolve Factory allows users to create new types of cross fades based on various properties of their video. For example, they can choose to fade dark areas faster than light areas, creating a more film-like transition than the standard cross dissolve. Or they can choose to fade specific colors first or last. And the properties used to fade out the outgoing clip can be different from those used to fade in the incoming clip. This allows a wide variety of new and interesting, yet tasteful cross dissolves.
Buena Software, Inc. offers video, image and audio processing software and development services. For more information about their consulting services and/or products, visit their web site at , or call them at (847) 259-7970.
