What it is
Pixel Film Studios makes plugins, transitions, effects, titles, and motion templates for video editors. The company describes a library of more than 2,000 plugins, with tools built exclusively for Final Cut Pro and Motion 5. Its Members Club site also provides assets for DaVinci Resolve. On a Mac, the PFS Installer app installs, updates, and removes Final Cut Pro assets; products work with Apple Silicon and Intel processors. A single-user license can be activated on up to three Mac computers and includes personal and commercial use. The free Starter plan costs nothing and offers unlimited downloads, free asset updates, access to free assets, and live chat support. Monthly costs $39.99 a month for unlimited downloads, template updates, full asset access, and live chat support. Members Club costs $499, paid once and includes 2,000+ film and motion plugins, use on up to three Macs, commercial use, and updates for life. Audio products are sold separately from the Members Club film and motion library. Live chat is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific Time.
