One of the first things we did after downloading Final Cut Pro X for the first time was to run through the effects. It's a slow process to drop effects or transitions onto clips to see what they do, luckily somebody has made video compilations of all the effects, transitions and generators for us.

We always like to see the Final Cut Pro X ecosystem expanding, this time we welcome new plugin maker Skippor from Denmark. Two new plugins and a freebie in there too.

So hands up, how many editors have ever used an old style EDL? You might not have touched a CMX 3600 standard edit decision list for a while, but there's kit out there that needs a list to function. Now you can make an industry standard EDL from FCPX via XML with the new EDL-X application.

Two large names in the Final Cut Pro ecosystem have joined forces to release 'Carousel' a vintage looks plugin especially for FCPX.
