There was a time when continuous rasterization was only available in high-priced compositors like Adobe After Effects. Now, Final Cut Pro editors can take full advantage of continuous rasterization without leaving Final Cut Pro by using Ampede's inexpensive PDF plugin.
Ampede PDF is a fully-integrated Final Cut Pro plugin that renders vector content from Adobe Illustrator and PDF files frame by frame, so the image is always sharp regardless of scale, movement, or rotation. Vector content can be seamlessly mixed with QuickTime content, and the geometrics are fully keyframeable using the standard Final Cut Pro interface you already know how to use.
Here are some key features of "Ampede":
ColorSync Support makes it easy to get your client's logo color-corrected and broadcast-ready in one click!
Subpixel Rendering is user-adjustable and comes with super high-quality Lanczos downsampling filters.
Velocity Engine Acceleration for the most processor- intensive operations makes for fast renders.
Non-square Pixel Support means an end to awkward Photoshop workarounds and blurred images.
Quartz Powered using Apple's incredible PDF vector rendering engine — and with access to all the options.
NTSC Field Rendering gives ultra smooth motion for broadcast-quality results.
Mac OS X Panther APIs such as the new kqueue file monitoring make sure that your system runs smoothly.
A Gorgeous Cocoa GUI right inside Final Cut Pro makes using PDF a truly Mac-like experience.
Dual G5 Optimized with multi-threading and routines optimized separately for both G4 and G5 machines.
