Using After Effects Filters
You can also use various After Effects filters in Final Cut Pro. When working with After
Effects filters, keep the following in mind:
 After Effects filters may use more memory than Final Cut Pro filters.
 Not all After Effects filters are supported. If you install a set of filters and then begin
to have problems, take them out of the Plugins folder.
 For After Effects filters that have clip parameters, you can use the clip itself as the
parameter for the input clip. To do so, Control-click the clip parameter and choose
Self from the shortcut menu.
Important: After Effects filters don’t take advantage of the ability of Final Cut Pro to
render video using Y´C
B
C
R
. All After Effects filters render only in RGB color space.
To install After Effects filters:
m Copy the filters into one of two locations, depending on where you are saving other files:
 /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
 [Home]/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Plugins
