Nattress' Film Effects FREE Demo Download 

Graeme Nattress, maker of the Film Effects plugins for FCP, has posted a free Film Effects Demo on his site. It is fully functional, works with HDV, just puts a watermark on the video to keep us honest. The full version is only $100, not a bad deal at all.

Especially of note: it works with 1080i60 HDV to convert it to 24p. I've been planning on doing a full review, so keep watching for that, but in the meantime feel free to play with it yourself.

ps - version 2.5.1, latest. I hate it when demo versions are old/buggy
Comments:
That "Old projector" one is nice and what I'm looking for, but too bad it's not an AE plugin. Anybody know of an AE effects plugin that is as cheap+good?
 
If the AE API was not so out of date (can't use xcode for instance) I'd consider writing plugins for it. Instead, I'm using the new FXplug API for Motion2, so that I can easily write GPU accelerated code. I think that GPU based algorithms will have a much longer shelf life....

I've heard that elsewhere too. What's the latest expected date on After Effects 7? Is the next version supposed to improve the API?
 
I don't know, but if the API gets improved, I'll look into it for the future.
