Why we like it

Stands out in the toolfarm library for packaging glows, light spills, glints, and distortions into a single linear wipe that ships as a filter, a transition, and a Final Cut Pro title.

What is FxFactory Light Show?

FxFactory Light Show is a linear wipe that combines glows, light spills, glints, distortions, and environmental effects to produce a wide range of looks. It is designed for titles and videos, and works across Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve on Apple Silicon and Intel processors.

The effect ships in multiple versions to cover different editing scenarios. The Filter applies to an existing title or video clip and animates automatically or through keyframes, which makes it the most flexible option. The Transition sits between existing clips, or at the head or tail of a single clip in Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro, animating automatically to match the set duration. A Title version is available only in Final Cut Pro, where it applies to a title built with the host's own text engine.

FxFactory Light Show requires Noise Industries FxFactory to be installed before it will run; FxFactory is a free download. A demo video is available, and the developer's FxFactory page lists current system requirements.
