I purchased Pixel Film Studios' AutoTracker 2.1. At first, I had issues where several tracking values and scaling didn't work, but the support chat was amazing. They broke down the issues, gave me several suggestions, and personally had the developer take a look into the issue immediately from my screen recording. The support agent was very helpful and friendly and although there are a few bugs, I am loving the plugin and already had recommended it to my friend!
Excellent customer support, had a problem with the brush glow (some tools where missing) did the live chat, he walked me through the process and it was back working in no time!
Awesome to hear that our support team was able to help you out quickly, David. We hope that you enjoy using FCPX Brush Glow!___________________
If you are missing controls for FCPX Brush Glow you will need to manually launch FCPXArtistBrush by double clicking the application (FCPXArtistBrush) while FCPX is closed and no external drives are connected.
FCPXArtistBrush can be found in this file path if installed correctly.
Macintosh HD > Library > Plug-Ins > FxPlug
My brush glow was not working so I contacted Pixel Film Studios for support. They solved my problem by explaining that my folders were missing so i created then reinstalled and it worked right after.
We are always happy to help, Thomas! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you solve this! :)_ _____________________________________
If you have experienced missing controls please make sure that you have the following file path.
Macintosh HD > Library > Plugin-Ins > FxPlug
If you do not have the Plug-Ins or FxPlug folder in your library make sure to create these folders with the correct spelling and then re-download and reinstall the plugin.

The plug-ins are very easy to use and even I got stock on some of the function, the live chat representative are trying their best to help me solve my issue.

I saw a bunch of reviews online for this Glow Brush plugin. It was the first plugin I actually paid for and I was nervous yet excited. Initially it didn't work and I was pretty nervous, but then I contacted customer support and got it sorted quickly.
Some of the controls weren't showing up and I wasn't able to use the full functionality of the plugin, but customer support quickly showed me how to fix this, including screenshots and fast responses.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you resolve this issue!:)
With a little patience and some information about your computer and what you are experiencing with the plugin we can get you back up and editing in no time so feel free to reach out again if you need any assistance or just have a question. :)
I was having a slight issue locating one of their plugins and within minutes of reaching out to them by live chat they had me on my way in perfection. Thanks Pixel Film Studios!
Glad to see we got a passing grade, Mark! We hope you enjoy the plugin! Now get out there and make some awesome videos! :)

I've been purchasing plugins from Pixel Films Studios for a while now and like all software, issues are bound to happen from time to time. Recently I've upgraded computers and needed to migrate my plugins, I have to say that technical support team has been stellar at providing great service when implementation issues came up. (Problem presented when the plugins moved to a different place in the library) With newly purchased plugins they were at the ready to fix downloading and installations issues as well. Definitely, these products are part of my go to arsenal to complete projects. I highly recommend them.
We appreciate the recommendation Katherine!:)

Thank you!

First off they have a great, professional product, I've purchased many products from Pixel Studio's to make great Digital Video Productions. I was having a problem with ProTiltShift, the mask wasn't working. To fix it they GAVE me a complimentary plugin, FCPX Camera. I was still having problems and couldn't get the mask to work. A Pixel Studio's professional shared my Mac and fixed the problem quickly. This was a JOB so I appreciate the time and effort from Pixel Studios. Simply the best!

I love Pixel Film Studios. Their team are really helpful but most of all, they've managed to transform quite a basic almost entry level feeling software like Final Cut Pro, into a professional editing beast it ought to be. It's really upgraded my workflow, with their plugins maintaining a brilliant user-friendly and dependable interface.
