FxFactory offers over 300 visual effects plug-ins optimized for real-time performance on the Macintosh platform. The new FxFactory Pro 2.0.7 brings major performance enhancements to the blur and glow categories as well as three new plug-ins; PDF Animator, Perlin Noise generator and Alpha Merger.

"Thanks to the updated FxFactory effects engine, effects treatments and multi-layered composites using blurs and glows can be done much, much faster. The performance gains are truly outstanding," said Niclas Bahn, director of business development, Noise Industries. "As with every release, we have added some new plug-ins that we think will become essentials in every editors toolbox. The PDF animator allows for easy work with vector graphics, something we think our users will love."
What's New in FxFactory 2.0.7
FxFactory Pro 2.0.7 introduces clever plug-ins as well as numerous performance and quality improvements to all filters in the "NI Blur" and "NI Glow" categories.
New FxFactory Pro 2.0.7 features and benefits include;- PDF Animator: Based on the same user interface as the free Pan and Zoom plug-in, PDF Animator lets you animate PDF graphics with minimal setup inside any supported host. PDF Animator preserves the sharpness of your vector graphics at any zoom level.
- Alpha Merger: This new filter lets you assign alpha information to a clip by importing it from a secondary source. For example, Alpha Merger lets you combine a first clip containing only color information, with a second clip containing a grayscale representation of the alpha channel.
- Perlin Noise: This generator is a GPU-accelerated variant of the Perlin Noise algorithm, which earned its author, Ken Perlin, a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The output of the Perlin Noise plug-in can be combined with other effects to simulate a variety of natural phenomena.
- License Backups and Transfer: The FxFactory application now allows you to backup existing licenses as well as transfer them easily over the network.
