Any free extra plugins for VideoStudio 8?

[PoC]

Out of curiosity. Do you know if anyone has produced free additional 3rd party functionality for VS8?

e.g. Plugins, menu backgrounds, utilities?

The only one I am aware of off the top of my head are the Burger Transitions. There is also the Debugmode Frameserver, but casual users have no need for this.

Many thanks! I've incorporated some of the burger transitions.

Can you please tell me how you manage to get the transitions into VS8 for use?

Thanks in anticipation JB

The installation instructions are online on the Burger Transitions website. Once installed, the transitions will appear in the Effects menu.

I have just downloaded the latest update on the "burger" site
FxBench. This is another freebie that automatically integrates itself with Video Studio and also Media Studio. Don't confuse FxBench with the free transitions already mentioned elsewhere on this forum

FxBench adds loads of extra video filters which are a cinch to use.
I really liked the "comic" effect

Thanks for to promo!

There is still a lot of work to do on FXbench (especially in terms of documentation).
But I'm optimistic that the tool (once it is finished) can add a lot of flexibility and functionality to the (already great) Ulead-Tools.

Stefan:
and since this is a beta, how do I report errors?
I didn't find a link on your site.
Do I just e-mail you personally?
Or do you only rely on your installed base of testers?

@daniel:

since it's only me who had idea, developed concept and wrote all code you can email me personaly at...

burger.stefan@t-online.de

PS: I'm already aware of a bug in memory handling within the plugin (stand alone tool 'FXbench Designer' works well)

If you like 'comic' you might also like this one:
(just copy the code into the clipboard and paste it withing fxbench by using 'Paste sourcecode'-button from toolbar)

eachframe{fe=1;
fb=width*0.05;
fc=1.2}eachline{}eachpixel{ef=edge( fe );
grey=(red+green+blue)/3}eachred{grey+(((red+((blurred( fb )-red)*ef))-grey)*fc)}eachgreen{grey+(((green+((blurgreen( fb )-green)*ef))-grey)*fc)}eachblue{grey+(((blue+((blurblue( fb )-blue)*ef))-grey)*fc)}

One of the fascinating aspects of FXbench is, that it becomes easy possible to exchange even complex effects within forums like this (as the necessary code is reduced to the relevant parts).

Not only that, but it will also become possible to publish and distribute effects within printmedia.

@Daniel

It seems that I found a way to fix the memory issue.
I think I will put some additional work on the language reference and publish a new version within next days.

I allready published a new version 1.03 beta of FXbench:

Thanks for the great transitions. Really like the Matrix one.

I am trying to add the filters from FXbench into VideoStudio 9 but I'm probably missing a step. FXbench is properly isntalled, but the transitions do not appear in UVS9. There is a directory called vft_plu in the Ulead VideoStudio 9.0 folder, with what seems to be the right files (e.g. DeNoise.vft) . But this does not translate into additionnal transitions within UVS ????

@al4085

FXbench is a filter, not a transition.
Therefore you can't find FXbench within the transition section.

First of all, apply FXbench to your video-clip like any other filter.
Then you have to click the 'user define'-button to select one of the over 60 predefined FXbench-filters.

Got it. Many thanks.
