Product Specifications

Updated: Mar 7, 2023

This is my first attempt at creating a FCPX Plug-in that will allow any non-linear editor to input raw data into intuitive visualizations for any use such as video review or video tutorial even in a webinar. I worked with tree prominent tech editors Tilemachos Katsenis,Vassilis Valimitis and Antony Andronikakis to turn complex technical specification data into visualizations to be understood at a glance.

Just let your creativity flow.! With free fcpx plug-in "Product Specifications" you can easily create specification tables for your videos. You can create multiple tables so you can use them for different types of products. Product Specifications is very light-weight and easy to customize without worrying about the font style, alignment and size.

Features

An example from my free fcpx Plug-in PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
  • 55+ icons

  • 7 different colors

  • Ready for 4K resolution

  • Fast hide buttons for any subcategory

  • Pre-selected greek text for 9 basic specs

  • Auto recalculate Built In & Out animation

  • No plugins required


Take a closer look


Only for Greek Package

Default texts in the most used icons of technical specifications without the possibility of changing the Greek text.


The Greek package "Product Specifications GR Pack" gives some possibilities with a predefined text in nine basic icons of technical specifications for those who create video content in the Greek language.


The main package "Product Specifications" is able to serve full customised text in almost all languages of the world.






Seven colors for icons

After studying and using the tool, I came up with seven color options that are capable of being printed correctly and clearly in front of any shot.
