I normally make a plugin that is accompanied by some of my introductory Apple Motion tutorials such as my recent Slide-In Titles or Perfect Split-Screen videos. I show how to make the plugins or give you a download link if you don’t have the time to make them yourself.
You can check them out on my gumroad page where you will find both free & paid for plugins.

Bret Williams is an independent plugin maker with some notable plugins like Power Tools, Text Message 2 and Hang Tags which is great for those Black Friday sales. If you are looking for high quality & creative plugins then this is definitely a good one to check out.

This site is brand new to me. Looks like they have a nice range of effects and the Manhattan Rain effect is one that catches my eye as one that could be fun to use.

Color Finale™ is developed by Color Trix, Ltd., a company based in UK. The Color Trix team has a long history of developing systems and solutions for post-production and VFX, as well as supervising color correction and digital intermediate processes as creative talents for numerous feature films.

Envato Market (aka Videohive)
A space for indie plugin makers to sell their Final Cut Pro plugins and assets online. There are a wide range of plugin makers here and it is definitely worth a browse of creators like Phantazma and Digital Products 669.
FxFactory
FxFactory is like an “app store” for plugins! The best thing about these plugins is that you can try a watermarked version before you buy them.
Importantly FxFactory represents some a whole community of independent plugin makers. Some plugins of note are Yanobox Nodes and one of my favourites Cineflare Smooth 3.

Check out the free plugin page on idustrialrevolution’s site! They have a tonne of useful plugins on their site and because the majority of their plugins are listed on FxFactory you can try their paid for plugins out for free!

LENOFX are a Brazillian plugin producer developing high-end plugins. I haven’t worked with any LenoFX plugins yet but they seem to get some good reviews. I look forward to trying some out in the future.
Motion Master Templates
There are a tonne exciting looking templates available on the Motion Master Templates sites and to get a flavour why not check out the Free Templates to see if the style is a good fit for your projects. Also you know the quality is top notch when other plugin makers have good words to say…
“Deyson has been making templates as long as anyone. Great variety of stuff!!” Bret William of BretFX
MotionVFX
There are some top-quality, high-end templates for all your creative needs in Final Cut Pro X here. The plugins on MotionVFX are well coded and they are a trusted partner of Apple. Definitely worth checking out.

At first glance StudioPlanet has some good FCPX Bundle packs that may be worth checking out. This is not a plugin provider that I’ve used but hopefully in the future I will get a chance to use some of their LUT packs and transitions.
Stupid Raisins
There are some really affordable transitions plugins here and although I’ve not worked with Ryan’s creations they look like a lot of fun. He also creates some nice YouTube content to promote his work.

VFX Nut
I have taken a peek at a few of VFX Nuts plugins, and plugin packs and they have a great range of different transitions & title packs that are worth a look.
