Hollywood FX is an incredible collection of true 3D transitions and effects that you

can quickly use in any video production. Hollywood FX works as an integrated

plugin to your non-linear editing software (host application). With Hollywood FX

you get easy controls, powerful customization, and great features:

• True 3D. Hollywood FX uses OpenGL to provide hardware accelerated,

high quality 3D rendering.

• Easy To Use. Simply drag-and-drop Hollywood FX into your timeline like

any other transition. The Hollywood FX dialog will appear and you can

select a transition and change your options.

• Organized. Transitions are organized into convenient categories with icons

that let you find the transition you want quickly.

• Convenient Control. With every transition you can change the flight

direction, lighting, shadows, shine and antialiasing with the click of your

mouse.

• Keyframe Editing. Edit individual object flight paths, and dozens of

parameters with the powerful keyframe editor. Hollywood FX Gold provides

incredibly advanced keyframe editing features.

• Create Your Own FX. Completely customize any existing FX or start from

scratch to create entirely new FX.

• Advanced Animation. You have full editing control over the camera, lights,

texturing, and much more.

• 3D Compositing. Hollywood FX Gold includes a complete complement of

plugins for advanced compositing and 3D object warping for amazing

results.

• MultiWindow Excitement. Hollywood FX Gold supports unlimited video

sources. Create cubes with different video sources on each side, and much

more.

• Expandable. Add new transitions at any time with our Club Volume CD-

ROMs and from Club Hollywood, our Internet effects mall. In addition

Hollywood FX Gold can be expanded with image filter and 3D object

warping plugins and more. The possibilities are infinite.

Before getting started with Hollywood FX you should have a good working

knowledge of your Windows system. You should be able to use the mouse to

select menu options and should understand and be able to use the common

controls.

You should also be thoroughly familiar with your video editing software. You

should be able to use clips in the timeline and understand how to add and modify

transitions.

Throughout this document we use the term FX to refer to the transitions and

effects in Hollywood FX. This term generically describes the following types of

transitions and effects:

• Transition. These are standard A-B transitions, where one video source

transitions into a second.

• Transition+ These are also A-B transitions; however, they may have

additional video channels that can be mapped with video. For example, the

FlipOver FX features the first video source flipping over like a card to reveal the

second video source. There is a third video source that is visible in the

background as the “card” flips over.

• MultiWindow These effects are not transitions at all. Instead, windows of

video may fly on or off the screen into various positions while playing your

video.
