In this post we’ve rounded up the best free FCPX filters, transitions templates and plugins on the ‘net!
Final Cut Pro X has opened up a new market of plugin and filter developers… and much to our appreciation many are giving away these products for free! Check out the sites below to find where you can score FREE effects for FCPX!
Digital Heaven
Grid X
This is one generator that was initially developed for FCP “Classic” versions, and has now been ported over to FCPX. Essentially, the generator creates a customizable grid pattern (you can choose the number of vertical/horizontal divisions), allowing you to evenly space elements in the frame. For those working often with graphic elements this free Final Cut Pro X plug-in is a lifesaver.
Wide Safe X
Although FCPX has a basic title safe tool, Digital Heaven has expanded made title safe more functional with a filter that allows you to adjust the aspect ratio of the safe zone. For instance, this filter would be very handy if your project has a 16×9 aspect ratio but you want to know what it would look like if it were center cut (the left and right sides of the frame are cut to make it a 4×3 project). One nice feature, it’ll dim the area of the frame that is outside of action / title safe.
Ripple Training
iPad Transition
Ripple Training continues to output high-quality training series for post applications…. and is now releasing free transitions and effects for Final Cut Pro X. In this transition an iPad wipes the screen (you control the wipe direction). Visit the site to download the effect as well as get step-by-step instructions on how to integrate it into your FCPX projects.
Video in Text Titles
Add some style to your title sequences with this free template from Ripple Training. Utilizing drop zones, the filter makes it simple to fill text with a video element. The filter is customizable in the Final Cut Pro X inspector window.

Picture in Picture
Although this filter accomplishes a relatively simple task, it’s great to keep this effect in your FCPX toolbox to automate the creation of a picture in picture. Essentially it creates a border and drop shadow for video images that have been scaled down from their original size. Very handy and totally free.
Simple 3D
Ripple has created a 3D filter for FCPX that allows you to move and rotate elements on the X. Y and Z planes. One highlight of this useful plugin is the ability to keyframe this 3d motion. For a very similar filter check out “Transform 3D” below.
Final Cut Argentina
PhotoFilter
Emulate the popular vintage photo effects with this free FCPX plugin. For a free filter, you’ve got loads of options including the ability to add a vignette, change the photo hue, add a classic photo border and incorporate light leaks. Use this very simple FCPX filter to achieve some trendy photo effects!
Timecode Reader
Argentinian Final Cut Pro Editor, Leo Hans offers up another free plugin – a timecode reader for clips used in FCPX timelines. This functional tool will allow you to quickly pinpointed clip timecode (great if you’re working with script notes), making your edits more efficient.
Transform 3D
This effect mimics a filter that was included in ‘classic’ versions of FCP but was left out of FCPX… the ability to simulate 3D space. Rotate and distort media in your timeline, moving them through and around “3D” space. Thanks for sharing Leo!
FCPEffects.com
Colorist’s Toybox
FCPEffects.com, an online store of free and for-sale effects for FCPX, bring you this free color correction plugin. This filter allows you to modify brightness, contrast, hue and intensity settings of any clip it is applied to… a simple color correction tool.
3D Glass Shelf Effect
This plugin also allows you to manipulate your footage in 3D space… but in addition, creates a modifiable reflection of the video footage. Use it as a way to display video, or solely as a transition. Either way, it’s a very clean modern look that will add some visual interest to your FCPX project.
Motion Master Templates
Professional Video Editor Deyson Ortiz has created several free Motion templates as part of his Motion Master Templates site.These templates utilize the drop zones, are easy to use and modify and are optimized for high-def 1080. These templates work in FCP 7 & X, as well as Motion 4 and 5. While on the site, be sure to check out some of the other pay-for-use Motion templates! Thanks for sharing Deyson!

Convert between your Final Cut Pro, Avid, After Effects, Quantel and Pro Tools sequences for free using Automatic Duck!
Automatic Duck, the Seattle-based conversion software distributor (known for their plug-ins that translate edited sequences between Final Cut Pro, Avid, After Effects, Quantel, Pro Tools), has recently revamped its cost structure for plug-in delivery. Now, their Pro Import AE, Pro Import FCP, and Pro Export FCP (FCP7 and FCPX) plugins are available at no charge.
This is really big news for editors. This conversion solution, which previously ran at around $500 per plug-in, will now be available for absolutely free, enabling you to transfer sequences from one software to another—a necessity in today’s industry.
Why this change?
You’ll notice that Adobe Premiere Pro is currently not among the list of software products included in the conversions. Well—that’s about to change.
Last month, Adobe hired on the father-son Automatic Duck team (Harry Plate and Wes Plate) to bring the same conversion tools to Premiere Pro. Wes Plate joined the Adobe Product Marketing team while Harry Plate will be working with the technology integration.
Could this be part of Adobe’s master plan to steal away more disgruntled Final Cut Pro users? Seems likely.
What does this mean?
Because of the Plates’ relocation to Adobe, they decided to offer their Automatic Duck products free of charge, since they would no longer be able to offer the same quality of customer support.
“Because we are so busy with these new projects we cannot provide the same level of support for our plug-ins that we used to, therefore we can’t in good conscience charge money for them. But we don’t want our popular tools to go unused if they are still useful to people. Therefore we have decided to make them available at no charge. Enjoy!”
-Wes and Harry Plate
So, this seems to be the underlying word of caution to accompany this incredible deal. Although these powerful plug-ins are now freely available, you will have to troubleshoot your own conversion problems (and for complex projects, you can certainly run into your fair share of problems). The Plates have posted a few common issues on their Support FAQ page, which is currently a rather bare-bones links page. You can also check out some detailed step-by-step tutorials on the Automatic Duck site, which are available via each plug-in product download page.
And, no doubt, the Plates are counting on the bulk of the technical support slack to be picked up by the plethora of additional users benefiting by the acquisition of the free Automatic Duck plug-ins. Indeed, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a steep increase in troubleshooting articles, blogs, videos and tutorials trying to tackle those conversion issues.
What plug-ins are offered in this new deal?
Here are some descriptions of what the various Automatic Duck plug-ins do, according to their website:
Pro Import AE 5.0
