6 New Lighting Effects for Final Cut Pro X from Brooklyn Effects - Published on 01/29/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brooklyn Effects releases 6 new lighting plug-ins exclusively for Final Cut Pro X users. Each product is designed to help users create a distinct lighting effect in their project. These effects include: lens flares, light leaks, stage lights, volumetric lighting, shutter streaks, and anamorphic streaks. Create a stunning, custom lens flare for any scene, brilliant beams of light, customize the source and direction of beams, as well as contemporary-looking flashback scenes and so much more.

Brooklyn, New York - Brooklyn Effects, a New York-based special effects company, has announced the release of 6 new lighting plug-ins for the popular Final Cut Pro X(TM) non-linear editing software. These effects include: lens flares, light leaks, volumetric lighting, shutter streaks, anamorphic streaks and stage lights.

"Sometimes it can be difficult or expensive to capture the lighting you want in camera," Said Jean Moore, CEO of Brooklyn Effects, "We designed our lighting plug-ins for Final Cut Pro X to help editors create distinct lighting styles that would have been much harder to do during the production phase."

Create a stunning, custom lens flare for any scene in Final Cut Pro X with the Skyline Lights plugin by Brooklyn Effects(TM). Users can drag and drop the lens flare layer above their footage and use the control point to match the position and angle of the light source in the scene.

Nothing captivates like the lights of NYC. Brooklyn Effects(TM) has created a plug in for Final Cut Pro X providing flashes and light leaks adding liveliness to all footage. Not only is there the light selections, but transitions for FCPX to smoothly change from one clip to another.

From the center of the world to your editing station, editors can create brilliant beams of light in their scene with the Times Lights plugin from Brooklyn Effects(TM). Users can drag and drop the filter onto their footage in FCPX. Then, use the control points to customize the source and direction of the beams.

FCPX editors can create contemporary-looking flashback scenes that don't rely on aged footage. The Flashback Effect gives film the shutter streaks, color, and glow of flashbacks found in many recent science fiction and action movies.

From action flicks to Sci-Fi films, users can add anamorphic light refractions to their film with the Light Streak Filter from Brooklyn Effects. This filter was designed to allow users to emit add streaking rays of light from the bright areas in their scene, eliminating the need for composite footage.

Finally, editors can set the stage for your film in Final Cut Pro X using the 3D lighting tools from Brooklyn Effects. This collection comes with spot lights, point lights and lens flares that can be positioned and angled using on-screen control points.

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X Version 10.10 Mavericks or higher
* Mac Computer with a minimum of a Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB RAM, and 256MB VRAM
* Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.3 or newer
* 50 MB

Pricing and Availability:
All of these FCPX lighting effects are available now in the on-line store for $19.95. Brooklyn Effects say they have more useful tools and effects for Final Cut Pro X arriving shortly.
