Why we like it

AutoSplit stands out for pairing two distinct effect modules in one plug-in: Classic for rectangular grids and Extended for triangle-based layouts, with box parameters you can set to any value rather than a fixed set.

What is Hawaiki AutoSplit?

Hawaiki AutoSplit is a plug-in for split-screen creation and animation. It supports popular editing and compositing applications including After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X and Motion, pairing menu-driven animation with fully customisable grid parameters and a range of automated processes.

The plug-in ships with two separate effect modules. Classic handles rectangular grids in the traditional split-screen formation and lets you set the scale, crop and hold position of each box to any value, so there is virtually no limit to the grid arrangements you can build. Extended adds a variety of triangle-based shapes that combine into more unusual layouts. A library of built-in presets is available to start from, and the feature set includes border styling capabilities.

AutoSplit 1.5 introduced versions of both Classic and Extended built on a new image processing pipeline using Metal GPU acceleration. The plug-in requires Noise Industries FxFactory to run and works on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors.

Who is Hawaiki AutoSplit best for?

Hawaiki AutoSplit is best for editors and compositors building split-screen grids and animations in After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X or Motion.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hawaiki AutoSplit require FxFactory to run?

Hawaiki AutoSplit requires Noise Industries FxFactory, offered as a free download, in order to run. FxFactory is also available in a paid Pro version that carries the same system requirements as the free version. For current, up-to-date system requirements, check the FxFactory page linked from the developer's page rather than relying on a fixed spec here, since those requirements are maintained there.

Does Hawaiki AutoSplit run on Apple Silicon Macs?

Hawaiki AutoSplit runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. It works within Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and depends on Noise Industries FxFactory, a free download, being installed first. Because system requirements are tied to your specific host application and hardware, they are maintained on the FxFactory page rather than fixed here. For the latest compatibility details before installing, refer to that page on the developer's site, since requirements can change over time.

Which applications does Hawaiki AutoSplit work in?

Hawaiki AutoSplit supports Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. Across these editing and compositing applications it provides menu-driven animation and fully customisable grid parameters. The plug-in itself runs through Noise Industries FxFactory, which is required and available as a free download, so you install FxFactory first and then access AutoSplit inside your chosen host application.

What changed in Hawaiki AutoSplit 1.5?

Hawaiki AutoSplit 1.5 introduced versions of both the Classic and Extended modules built with a new image processing pipeline that uses Metal GPU acceleration. Classic continues to handle rectangular grids in the traditional split-screen formation, letting you set the scale, crop and hold position of each box to any value. Extended offers triangle-based shapes that combine into more unusual layouts, and a library of built-in presets remains available as a starting point. If you want to see these modules in action, a demo video is available.

Is Hawaiki AutoSplit free?

Hawaiki AutoSplit is listed as free in this catalog. It requires Noise Industries FxFactory to run, which is itself a free download, though FxFactory also comes in a paid Pro version that carries the same system requirements as the free one. The plug-in provides split-screen creation and animation across Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. For current licensing details and any changes to how the plug-in is distributed, check the developer's page rather than relying on this listing.
