We have added two new effects to XEffects Tech Transitions in the recent May 2012 update. Bringing the pack up from 28 effects to 30, we have added Crosshair Wipe and UTube Buffer. This is a free upgrade to all existing XEffects Tech Transitions customers.
Crosshair Wipe is a great way to transition between video or to reveal or conceal overlaid graphics. The size, colour and drop shadow of the line can be adjusted in the inspector. A four way drop down menu gives the editor a choice of wipe travel direction.
UTube Buffer simulates the pause and buffering of popular video sharing websites. The outgoing video freezes, the rotating circle animation then reveals the incoming clip. The dimming of the paused videos and size & speed of the animating circles can be adjusted in the effect inspector.
XEffects Tech Transitions is priced at $49 and is designed only for Final Cut Pro X (FCPX)

It has taken us a long time in the planning and execution, but we are now very pleased to say that the new Idustrial Revolution website is up and running!
The old website just wasn't flexible enough for us to be able to expand into selling our exciting new range of XEffects for FCPX, so it had to go. It's a bit like trading in your old car for a brand new model. You're excited about the new one, but in a way, sad that you are saying goodbye to an old friend that served you well.
Websites have changed a lot in the 5 years since we first started the site and our new design will hopefully be easier to navigate and be able to display more products in a clearer way in customer's browsers.
We've gone big and media rich. This might not suit everybody's download speed, but we are working on the assumption that if you are interested in FCP/FCPX plugins and editing then the chances are you're not on dialup! We are also not perfect and should you come across any issues with the new site such as broken links then please do not hesitate to get in touch with us via the about page. You can contact us via numerous means, the best one being the email address on the about page.
Please come back to us often, we intend to maximise the creative potential Final Cut Pro X and Motion can bring to customers' videos buy launching fresh and creative new products on a regular basis.
We'd also like to say a quick thank you to our superb web team, Sameer who does the arty stuff and David who spends many hours making sure his pixels line up the way they were designed.
Lastly we wish you a very Happy New Year and look forward to an exciting time in the editing community and FCP ecosystem.
What are XEffects?
XEffects is the brand name we've given our new product line of effects for Final Cut Pro X. When FCPX was launched last June, the ability to build custom effects in Motion 5 and export them to Final Cut opened up a whole new exciting world to us. We've been busy ever since.
Tech Transitions is our first product especially for Final Cut Pro X, the second is almost ready to go, the third is in good shape and we already have tested out functionality in the fourth. So as you might be able to tell it is going to be a busy time getting these exciting new products ready for market.
We've got many more effects planned for the future, but we are more than happy to recieve ideas, improvements or any bugs you might encounter using our products.
Our new Press Area aims to provide a range of information and media to make getting the news out about our products even easier.
If you write for an industry publication or website and would like a review copy of one of our products, please get in touch via email which you can find on our About page.
We are very keen to support bloggers too, just let us know the URL of your site with the amount of absolute unique visitors you get and we'll send over a review copy if you fit our marketing niche.
Where have the other products gone? They haven't disappeared completely, some of the products need updating and testing before we are going to post them here, however some products have come to the natural end of their life.
We have left some of the previous webpages up for the moment and the links should all still work.
SupaWipe Object based transitions for FCP7 and FCE4
CoverFlux The free iTunes style slideshow generator
Freebie Pack 1 Five free filters & generators for Final Cut Studio and After Effects
Decimal Counter This page is a bit harder to post as it was buried in our old CMS system. It will be back very soon, but you can still watch the demo movie and purchase a licence for FCP7 and Motion 3/4.
Regarding the other products such as templates, converters, elements etc, we are going to have to work through those one by one to before we bring them over to the new site.
