Joe's Filters for Final Cut ProJoe's Filters enhance and extend the abilities of Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express. The set of 0 plugins includes faster versions of Final Cut Pro effects, tools to simplify the timeline and reduce the number of tracks needed for simple effects, plus many more image processing tools requested by Final Cut Pro users. Joe's Filters work with OS X and OS 9, and all video formats supported by Final Cut Pro.

A fully-functional demo version is available.

Joe's Filters were created with FXScript, the effects language built into Final Cut Pro. The plugins work natively in RGB or YUV, and take advantage of all the QuickTime and multiprocessor acceleration Final Cut Pro offers. Because Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express are universal applications, Joe's Filters and all other FXScript effects automatically became universal as well.

Joe's Filters are faster than ever on Intel Macs.

I'm updating the site and a few older WordPress things broke in the interim. Pages will be back up this evening.

Buying Joe's Filters

Purchasing is handled through Kagi Shareware. I can also accept PayPal upon request, but it will probably me take a few days to arrange.

A packaged product should be available in February.

Upgrading from the trial version

Because of the way Final Cut Pro attaches filters, the paid version of the filters do not simply replace the trial versions. Each instance of an applied effect is stored individually in the project file and each one will need to be replaced with the full version. This is just how Final Cut Pro works, and there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it.
