1. Impressive!!! But I took a look at their website. & it states that these plug-ins aren’t compatible with intel Iris Graphics Plus. Does that mean my Mid-2015 15-inch MacBook Pro with Intel Iris graphics (Iris 5200 Pro with 128MB of cache) can’t use it?

   • Good question. Going to ask and get back with you. I’ll also test it on my older MacBook Pro in the morning. Thanks Sammy.

   • 9to5Mac thank you!

   • i have a mid 2015 15” MBP and this plugin works. it takes a bit of time to render, but i can confirm it works

   • Both plug-ins work on my Mac mini late 2018 (Intel UHD Graphics 630)

2. I have this auto tracker, it works well. It gets funky when you use the drop zone to do something like put a png over a face you tracked to hide an identity. It does work, but the timeline gets a little clunky. Maybe it’s just user error though.

3. Hi Jeff – I also want to know if it will work on my MacBook Pro Retina 15″ Early 2013 – NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1 GB
   Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB. Thanks. Very interested in buying both products

   • DON’T. You’ll regret it sooner or later. Look at other products such as those from Coremelt or motionVFX. *_Exponetially_* and better and actual support to go with it. Something you’ll never get from PFS.

4. Jeff, please read about Pixel Film Studios and their shady tactics. They are widely criticised in the FCP community.

5. Thank you for tip and coupon. Just bought mine.

   • You’ll regret it eventually, if you haven’t already.

   • POST-PROfessionals – Robin S. Kurz I can swallow $28

6. I’ve seen videos on this product. It looks very powerful. Thank you Jeff.

7. This should be native function.

8. Thanks for the tutorial but I’m going to stick with Apple Motion.

   • Nilanjan Mustafi you can do that with Apple motion? Don’t get mad idk what apple motion is

   • @Mr Tech Boi’s personal Account Basically Motion is a software from Apple which is used to create and edit motion graphics, titles for video and film production, and 2D and 3D compositing for visual effects. It’s similar to Adobe After Effects if you are familiar with that?

9. I was so impressed and tempted by this video (as always, great presentation) … UNTIL I read the comments. I had NO idea this company were so poorly thought of, thanks to your community Jeff for the other, less rosey side of the coin.

10. I’m not into video editing but cool tutorial nonetheless.

11. The only software that I rely on for tracking objects with FCPX is native Apple Motion because it’s totally reliable, quite powerful and gets all the updates needed as FCPX and MacOS evolves.
    Greetings.
