Why we like it

FxFactory Lines earns its spot in the toolfarm library by covering Adobe and Apple hosts along with DaVinci Resolve, pairing hand-drawn styles with ready-made presets for line and arrow callouts.

What is FxFactory Lines?

FxFactory Lines is a set of easy-to-use, animated lines and arrow callouts for After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. The customized lines and arrows can be used as call-outs, to emphasize details or simply to add style to a shot.

Hand-drawn styles are available in Premiere Pro, After Effects and Motion, in addition to Final Cut Pro. Presets come ready to apply in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Motion and After Effects, while the custom line templates in Final Cut Pro use animated multi-point paths.

The plugin also works in Final Cut Pro X and Motion, and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. It requires Noise Industries FxFactory, offered as a free download, to run; an FxFactory Pro paid version shares the same system requirements. A demo video is available.

For current host version details, check the developer's page.

Does FxFactory Lines require FxFactory to run?

FxFactory Lines requires Noise Industries FxFactory, offered as a free download, in order to run. FxFactory serves as the host for the plugin across the supported apps. There is also an FxFactory Pro version, a paid edition that shares the same system requirements as the free version.

Does FxFactory Lines run on Apple Silicon?

FxFactory Lines runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors, working in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve on those processor types. Because the plugin relies on FxFactory to run, its system requirements match FxFactory's own, which the developer keeps updated on the FxFactory page. Checking there is the best way to confirm the current operating system and hardware needs before installing.

Is FxFactory Lines free?

FxFactory Lines is listed as free here. It relies on Noise Industries FxFactory, which is itself a free download, while an FxFactory Pro version is available as a paid edition that shares the same system requirements as the free release.
