7 Reasons Why FxFactory Rocks

Yes, you heard that right. FxFactory rocks.

You don’t really see people jumping up and down out of excitement for the Apple App Store or Google Play, so why am I so thrilled about FxFactory?

FxFactory (on the surface) might just look like an “app” store for Final Cut Pro X plugins, but it’s so much more than that. In fact, I’d say FxFactory is absolutely essential to my video editing projects, and it’s there where I’ve decided to sell Stupid Raisins.

But why is FxFactory a cut above the rest? Read on to find out.

1. Free Trials

Want to try before you buy? FxFactory lets you take advantage of generous free trials to show you just how well each plugin fits into your video editing goals.

Any work you do using these trials is watermarked, but the watermark is removed automatically after purchase—meaning you won’t lose any progress during the transition from free to paid.

Feel free to try out the plugins with a watermark before you buy

2. Easy Installation

Installing FxFactory couldn’t be easier. Just download the installer from FxFactory’s site, run it, and you’ll be good to go in no time flat.

3. Simple Plugin Organization

Anyone familiar with your typical app store layout will feel right at home using FxFactory.

FxFactory organizes and manages your plugins to be as simple as possible. Buttons lining the top of your screen allow easy switching between new products, updates, installed plugins and more.

Plus, you can quickly turn off your installed plugins with a check box, rather than visiting each product’s page in FxFactory.

4. Customer Support

Customer support is a huge deal to me, and this is one of the biggest reasons I love FxFactory.

For starters, FxFactory provides in-app support that collects technical data about your problems as soon as you submit a ticket, giving customer service a head start once you’re on the line. That means less time spent asking questions, getting you back to work faster than ever.

Another great thing about FxFactory’s support system is just how responsive customer service agents are to answering questions. FxFactory gives the impression that they really care, and their customer service team is one of the best I’ve ever dealt with, period.

5. Incredible FCPX Integration

The level of integration between FxFactory and Final Cut Pro X is off the charts. New plugins can be purchased directly from FCPX without opening up a second screen for the app store, and FxFactory’s plugins have built-in, super-helpful tutorials right in FCP.

It’s easy to take it for granted that your FCP plugin store should have integration with, well, FCP, but the seamlessness of using FxFactory plugins in FCP is simply amazing.

6. Painless Configuration

Can’t remember your configuration details or which plugins you’ve tried or buyed? No problem—FxFactory does it for you.

Recently I switched to a new computer for my video editing, and after logging in to FxFactory, ALL of my previously purchased plugins were installed automatically. No headache, no problem.

“Transferring” your plugins to a new system really just means punching in your login info and letting FxFactory do its thing.

7. The Pros Love It

FxFactory is the preferred FCP plugin store for tons of professionals because of the reasons I’ve listed above. These aren’t your cheesy celebrity endorsements, either—these are dozens of massive, successful businesses quietly using FxFactory because it’s just plain awesome.

Apple, the NFL, Pepsi, Facebook, HBO, Google…it seems like just about everyone is using FxFactory.

It Just Works

FxFactory ticks all the boxes I need from a FCPX plugin provider. It’s easy to use, super useful and robust, provides stellar customer service, works perfectly with my editing software, and it gets out of the way when I don’t need it.

I sell Stupid Raisins through FxFactory because it’s the easiest way for me to bring my best work to you, so that you can do your best work. And that’s why FxFactory rocks.
