With all the hard work done by Alex Gollner from the Editing Organized blog.  He makes it very simple to cut and paste the code and create a new generator for Final Cut Pro.  In this case the example is white.

How many times to find yourself selecting Matte>Color and changing the color to white?  There’s no way to change the default color but this handy little trick creates a whole new generator with the color white.  In the past I’ve just imported a frame of white I created in Photoshop.  Follow his very simple instructions here. I think I’ll make one for black too!

We all know how tough it is to get smooth pans and zooms on stills and video in Final Cut Pro.  Well now thanks to FxFactory you can download their free plugin and achieve those Ken Burns effects you’ve always wished for.  Check out their site and demos and then download for free.  Only runs on Leopard and FCP 6 and Motion 3.  Time to upgrade!

I don’t know about you but for me, audio is somewhat of a mystery.  So when it comes to playing with audio filters in Final Cut Pro, I look at them, scratch my head and through trial and error end up abandoning any attempt at fixing the problem and pass off to our audio mixer.  Now, thanks to the fine folks at Digital Rebellion, home of Aspect Ratio Calculator and many other great tools, there’s a great review and explanation of each audio plug-in.  Take a look by clicking on the link below.
