Ampede PDFLink software renders content from Adobe Illustrator and PDF files for use in Final Cut Pro, allowing seamless integration of high-quality graphics and text into video projects.
If you're an avid Final Cut Pro editor, you may have been longing to use the continuous rasterization feature without having to shell out a fortune for high-end compositors like Adobe After Effects. Here's some good news - Ampede PDF is an inexpensive plugin that seamlessly integrates with Final Cut Pro, allowing you to take full advantage of continuous rasterization.
Ampede PDF is a powerful tool that renders vector content from PDF files and Adobe Illustrator frame by frame, ensuring that the image is always sharp, no matter how you scale, rotate or move it. This plugin allows you to mix QuickTime and vector content, and the geometrics are fully keyframeable using Final Cut Pro's standard interface.
Let's take a closer look at some of the key features of Ampede PDF. ColorSync Support allows you to easily make your client's logo color-corrected and broadcast-ready in a single click. Subpixel rendering lets you customize the image quality using super high-quality Lanczos downsampling filters. The Velocity Engine Acceleration ensures speedy rendering for the most processor-intensive operations.
Non-square Pixel Support eliminates the need for awkward Photoshop workarounds and delivers crystal clear images. Ampede is Quartz Powered, meaning it uses Apple's PDF vector rendering engine - and with access to all the options. NTSC Field Rendering provides broadcast-quality results with ultra-smooth motion. Mac OS X Panther APIs such as the new kqueue file monitoring ensure that your system runs smoothly.
Ampede PDF also comes with a gorgeous Cocoa GUI that's right inside Final Cut Pro, making using PDF a truly Mac-like experience. Dual G5 Optimization with multi-threading and routines optimized separately for both G4 and G5 machines ensure that this plugin delivers the best performance possible.
While the plugin is incredibly powerful, it does come with some limitations. There's a 15-day trial period, and after that, automatic reconnect to media is disabled, and there's a 10-minute limit.
The latest release of Ampede PDF is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.x (Tiger). The requirements to run this plugin are Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later and Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 or later.
In summary, Ampede PDF is a cost-effective, easy-to-use and feature-rich Final Cut Pro plugin that delivers high-quality continuous rasterization. It's an excellent addition to any video editor's toolkit.
