![]() With that being said however, there has always been one major function neglected in the Final Cut Pro application…it’s rudimentary text editor. I’ve never understood why Apple could continue to make such great improvements to the application while completely ignoring one of it’s most necessary tools. In 2001, Boris introduced it’s Calligraphy plug-in for integration into FCP version 3 (and included in later versions of FCP). This was a bit of an improvement over the built-in text generator - but still left quite a lot to be desired. It’s clunky, has a poorly designed interface and at times can be downright buggy. There had to be a better way.įast forward nearly 10 years later and we may finally be a bit closer to effectively integrating text into Final Cut Pro… Noise Industries, makers of plug-ins and plug-in management software, have recently released “Manifesto” a much improved (free) text generator for Final Cut Pro. Manifesto is not a completely re-imagined product. Rather, it takes the models set forth by the aforementioned Boris text generators and greatly improves on it. Let’s take an in-depth look at Manifesto, how to download/install it and how it can greatly improve how you handle text in Final Cut Pro. Manifesto is a free application that is designed to be integrated into the Noise Industries plug-in management tool called FXFactory. For those not familiar, FXFactory is a visual FX suite that supports a large number of plug-ins for Final Cut Pro. One of the main benefits of FXFactory plug-ins is that they are built on the FXPlug plug-in architecture. This means these effects are rendered on your computer’s GPU (graphics processing unit) instead of on the system processor, amounting to faster rendering and generally powerful performance. FXFactory is a free download and comes bundled up with quite a few free plug-ins (additional plug-ins can also be purchased through Noise Industries and other third party vendors). Download FXFactory here.Īs you may have guessed, in order to run Manifesto you will need a current copy of FXFactory running on your system….so make sure to that first. Once, FXFactory is installed, d ownload Manifesto from the Noise Industries site and install it as well. Once you boot up FCP again you’ll see Manifesto in the Browser’s Effect tab under Video Generators > FxFactory Freebies > Manifesto (Roll/Crawl) and Manifesto (Static).
