The "CGM DVE Vol.5+" is a set of 44 filters, transitions and generators for use in Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express. In addition to the professional plug-ins the package also includes a series of Final Cut Pro workshops.
The filters to look out for are the "Doorway", "Invert Wipe", "Prisma Slide", "Prisma Wipe", "Radar Wipe", "Mystic Light Wipe", "Magic Box Slide", "Spin 3D", "Burn-In Wipe" and "Blur Bar" effects.
Thanks to being written in FCP's "native language" all CGM transitions and filters function seamlessly, fully supporting YUV rendering, 10bit YUV and RGB as well as multiprocessing in OSX. Furthermore they are designed to render at the subpixel level, ensuring smooth Movement within the rendered clip. A final advantage is that the 2D and 3D effects are actually "true" FCP transitions rather than After Effects or FxPlug filters (which may require cutting and pasting and often suffer from luminance shifts as they do not render in YUV space). All plug-ins support progressive video (24p, 25p, 30p) and the Intel processor and RTExtreme HD architecture of Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express. And of course rendering is optimized for maximum speed on all available Apple computers (Motorola, IBM and Intel).
