AnyFX FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

How do I apply AnyFX in my video editing program? AnyFX plug-ins are listed in the same place as your standard built-in video effects and transitions. For more step-by-step specifics, see the visual Please Read First file that appears after installing AnyFX. It will also be in your Start\Programs\Pixelan\AnyFX folder. The steps are also shown online here.

I'm not seeing an applied AnyFX effect in the Vegas preview. What's wrong? This can happen on a small percentage of Vegas systems due to the way Vegas' plug-in architecture works. To solve it, look in the Vegas keyframer controls (not AnyFX's built-in keyframer). Do you see a keyframe set at the end of the event? If not, please do the following:
-- Make sure you have the "Sync Cursor" option in the Vegas keyframer turned OFF.
-- Manually add a second keyframe at the end of the event in the Vegas keyframer.
-- Select the first keyframe in the Vegas keyframer (click it or click the "First Keyframe" button there).
 
How is the DEMO different than the purchased version? The demo operates for an unlimited time and is identical to the purchased version but shows an X over the transitions and effects. Upon purchasing, the X (i.e. the demo) will be automatically removed.

Which video editing programs is AnyFX available for? Any version of Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Elements, Sony Vegas Pro and Sony Vegas Movie Studio. The Premiere version works in both Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements. The Vegas version works in the Vegas Pro and Vegas Movie Studio (6.0 or later). The Premiere and Vegas versions are fully compatible with both 32-bit or 64-bit versions of your editing software.

Is AnyFX a plug-in or an independent program? It is a plug-in that integrates fully into Premiere Pro or Vegas and is applied just like built-in transitions and effects.

Are help or tutorials available? Yes, please see here.

Is AnyFX only a download? Yes, which is common for software plug-ins now. It is a single 26 MB file. You can even download it on a different computer, if necessary, then transfer the downloaded file with a USB key, CD-R, or other media onto your editing computer before double-clicking the file to install.

Does AnyFX have special hardware requirements? Generally, any XP, Vista, or Windows 7 computer that you already use with your Premiere or Vegas software is fine. A DirectX 9 compatible graphic card is required, however. (Most computers in the last few years used for video editing already have that.)

Can I install on more than one computer of mine? Our license allows use in two different computers of the same user (such as a laptop "for the road" and a desktop at home) IF the two computers are not used AT THE SAME TIME to edit with our plug-in.

What is Pixelan's return policy for AnyFX? If somehow you become unhappy with your purchase within 30 days, we will do our best to resolve it to your satisfaction, even though it is a download and thus there is nothing to 'return.' However, if you feel unsure BEFORE buying, we strongly encourage you to download and install the DEMO before buying. Demo is easy to install and will not interfere in any way later with the purchased version.
