Digital Heaven, FCP

Digital Heaven today released two new plug-ins for Final Cut Pro (FCP), and launched a free video podcast based on the pro application. The DH_RetroTV plug-in is designed to replicate an old TV, featuring a "Switch On" mode to make the picture appear from black with optional picture scrolling. A "Channel Change" mode is usable between two clips with controls for the amount of wiggling and noise. The company's DH_Dream plug-in attempts to recreate the classic ripple and blur transition commonly used for flashbacks or dream sequences. The plug-in provides control over the amount of wave as well as blur, and features two specially created royalty-free harp glissando sound effects. Digital Heaven also released VideoSpace 1.5, an update to its free widget that calculates the disk space required for video files. DH_RetroTV and DH_Dream are individually priced at $20, while VideoSpace is available as a free download.
