FxFactory Pro 6.0.5: Here Comes Dot Array!

Before we get into the details of our newest plugin, a quick reminder that this is a free update for all existing users. To upgrade, launch FxFactory on your system. Our app will offer to update itself and/or install FxFactory Pro 6.0.5 as needed.

Dot Array

Dot Array can simulate the look of LCD panels or large pixel arrays found on stadium panels. It puts focus on producing output that looks great, allowing you to do things that aren't possible with a real-world panel.

Four examples of the Dot Array plugin

Create wild, never-before-seen color separations through the use of multi-channel support and perceptual color mixing:

Presets are organized by task:

  • Screens: for LCD panel and pixel array simulations.
  • Glitches: where parameters are animated to artificially introduce defects.
  • Art: demonstrating the full range of looks available with this plugin.

Enough reading! How do I use it?

As always, our video tutorials are a great way to get acquainted with the new plugin. Here is one for Final Cut Pro:

...and the equivalent for Premiere Pro:

Dot Array replaces two of our old plugins, Dots and LED Lights. As with all upgrades, the old plugins are still there when you open old projects where they had been used.

Bug Fixes

We improved the look of many effects when applied to separate color channels, such as Blur or Glow applied applied to a title or media with an alpha channel.
