FCP X Specific Details: Access Help, Registration and Presets with On Screen Controls

To access registration, help and presets in FCP X, use the on screen controls that appear over the image at bottom as shown above.  These OSC only appear when the plugin is selected in the inspector and do not appear when playing the clip or in renders or exports.

Using Effects Masks in FCP X

CoreMelt plugins do not have a mask control in FCP X like they do in other hosts.  Our suggested method to masking an effect is as follows:  Duplicate the clip you want to apply the effect too as a connected clip by dragging it up above the original clip on the timeline and holding the option key down. Then apply the effect you want and also apply the effect "4Pt Mask Layer" to the same clip. You can now use the drop down menu to choose a mask shape and use the four on screen control points to easily and quickly position the mask as you like.

Details of New Plugins in V2.5

	Vintage Newsprint - Shatter Overlays both a dot screen and a channel separation to create an effect like old misaligned newspaper print.
	4 Point Mask Layer - Gadget Creates a mask from various shapes that is positioned using 4 onscreen control points. This can be used as a way to mask an effect (especially in FCP X), by duplicating the layer into a connected clip aligned with the original clip, and then applying the effect you wish to use, and "4 Pt Mask Layer".
	Light Burn - TRX Wipes across to the next image through a burn of light with controllable angle, width and color.
	Lights Out - TRX Flickers the incoming clip to dark and then lights back up to reveal the new clip.
	Light Streaks - TRX Creates Random grunged light shapes across the image and then reveals the target image.
	Shapes Grow - TRX Reveals the next image through a selection of grungy random shapes.
	Glass Fractures - Delta V Creates random fractured blurred glass shapes across the image revealing the target clip.
	Plasma Wipe - Delta V Creates A wipe of Plasma across the image revealing the target clip
