Noise Industries, developer of visual effects tools for the post-production and broadcast markets, says FxFactory development partner, idustrial revolution, has released a major update to its "freebie" slideshow generator, CoverFlux.

The new CoverFlux 2 is completely re-written, bringing faster rendering and over 10 unique features to its "iTunes-style" image browsing effects. Powered by FxFactory, CoverFlux 2 is free for users of Apple Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, Motion and After Effects.

CoverFlux 2 is completely free, with no watermark when registered. With 10+ new features, users can now select the depth of the stack, the number, the angle, the depth of field of the display, add round corners, soft edges, travelling gloss to highlight edges, and more.

Users can load, reorder and rename the files using the built in file browser. It has an option to choose the auto-animation feature or manual keyframe control to jump forward or backwards to any image in the stack. CoverFlux 2 can work with native file sizes.

The CoverFlux 2 plug-in is offered as a free download via the Noise Industries and idustrial revolution web sites. To download the freebie, go to http://www.idustrialrevolution.com/idrplugins/coverflux .
