Pixelfantastic Releases New Plug-Ins For Quantel

The London-based HD film and video production and post production company that specialises in working with high profile music artists such as Kylie Minogue, Westlife, Take That, Mika and many other famous names, Pixelfantastic, has just released a suite of effects plug-ins for Quantel's eQ, iQ, Pablo and sQ Edit Plus creative systems.
The initial release includes 12 plug-ins which cover a range of everyday needs from timecode burn in, counters and timers to an instant camcorder viewfinder effect, progressive picture stretch and pause. Unlike many other plug-ins which are sold as sets, the Pixelfantastic plug-ins are available for individual purchase, meaning users only need to purchase the specific plug-in they require.
Plug-ins can be downloaded from Pixelfantastic's website at: www.pixelfantastic.com.
Pixelfantastic offers free demos of all plug-ins, which allows Quantel artists to download fully working trial versions to ensure that the effect is exactly what they want before buying. Pixelfantastic will be adding further plug-ins to the range over the coming weeks and months.
Barrie Williams, Pixelfantastic Managing Director, said: "We have developed these plug-ins to meet our own need to automate everyday tasks such as making countdown timers and burning in timecode for copy protection in our own eQ suite.
"They're all about time-saving, while producing the highest possible quality results on screen. We've also concentrated on making them fast and easy to set up, using the pen to interact directly with the image on-screen to give users really fine control."
Steve Owen, Quantel Director of Marketing, said: "Pixelfantastic's new plug-ins are a welcome and really useful addition to the 1000+ that are already available from our other partners. It's great that Pixelfantastic are prepared to share the benefits of their day-to-day experience with other Quantel owners around the world."
