 A Universal FCP Leader
A free FCP-flavoured Leader for nothing. Comes in 2 versions - Clean and Dirty - the latter has "tons of scratches and lines, with a few hairs throw in for character". Nuff Said.

Basic Text - a modification of the original 'Lower 3rd' text generator with additional controls, Jiggler jiggles the position of the frame randomly & Shifter for FCP Shifter which shifts the clip one video line down. So PAL DV25/PRO25/PRO50 and SD clips can be used in the same timeline.

Steppy Edges| see also About DV
http://www.adamwilt.com/SteppyEdges.html
Adam Wilt is the man who knows everything about the DV format and he has two plug-ins:
One smoothes the "steppy edges" resulting from DV's 4:1:1 chroma subsampling (Adam thinks FCP4's subsampling filters generally do a better job but if you are using an earlier version of FCP...)
The other filter repositions the chroma of an image - using one-pixel steps - relative to the luma.
I'll leave it to Adam to explain where & how these filters can best be used. HINT: exporting stills and chromakey.

Finally you can put in what SoundSoap has taken away! I have been using Vinyl for years on PCs - as a standalone amp and a Winamp plug-in. Highly recommended!
