Noise Industries today introduced Factory Tools 1.0, the first software suite for creating, applying and sharing realtime effects on the Avid AVX architecture. Shipping with 85 built-in effects based on Core Image and Quartz Composer, new special effects plug-ins can be created with no programming knowledge or downloaded from the Noise Industries Effect Market, a growing community of special effects artists. Reactor, a high-performance renderer, provides powerful compositing features to all effects: blend modes, apply to title, high-resolution external graphic files and built-in geometry controls. Factory Tools 1.0 Basic ($500) requires Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later and a Quartz Extreme-compatible video card.
