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!

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.

I've beed using their product since I've start doing editing with FCPX

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 can feel that they truly want to help you, not just asking you to go watch a tutorial or something!

Amazing Service
February 14, 2020

So I accidentally bought the wrong product. But the customer service was so good, they helped me find the right product and gave it to me for free. They could have made me pay for my mistake, but they were so kind and helpful.

Highly recommended!

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.

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.

Whenever I have a crazy new video request from a client, I know who to go to. PixelFilm Studios not only has the variety of animation plug-ins to keep things fresh, but also the options to stay on trend. I know I can always go to their support team to help me pick out the right animations I need.

Thank you!

I have already bought several pixelfilmstudios plugins and I cannot be happier, it has saved me a lot of hours of work and it is super easy to use and install. The technical support is also great, any questions are resolved the same day or at any time using the support chat. I don't put more stars because there isn't, but it deserves more.

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!

So I've been using Pixel Film Studio for a year or so now and rarely have issues! And when I do, I hop on the the chat site and PFS walks me through what I need to do to adjust issues. Usually the issues are user related and can be fixed pretty quickly. These plug ins make me look much better at my job than what I really am! Really thankful for this company!

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.
