Tiltshift Plugin for AE, Final cut & Motion

I'm trying to create a plugin effect Tiltshift "with FxFactory to use in Aftter Effects and Final cut. The filter is quite close to the result I want. but I do not tweak the lens blur Fx characteristic of Tiltshift. There are many tutorials for this FX in PS or AE, but are based on a combination of filters and layers to get the result. Examples: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/10/07/how-to-use-photoshops-lens-blur-tool-for-... or http://luipermom.wordpress.com/2008/12/29/tutorial-tilt-shift-con-photos... (in Spanish

My intention is to create a plugin all in one. Launch the plug and go. My first test was using Gaussian Blur, worse today and made a change by Box Blur and gives much better results. But I think it would be much more successful getting a lens blur fx. Here is a demo of my plugin running in AE: I searched but did not and managed to find an appropriate combination using NI blurs, or VADE blur plugins.

my question is, how I can create a filter with the properties of lens blur?

Noise Industries custom patches

I just realized this, when looking at a thread about rounded rectangles -- you should all know that there are quite a few free patches available as part of the free download of FxFactory from Noise Industries.

They provide a platform for developing video plug-ins from QC comps, and when you install their soft it installs a bunch of custom patches they've written.

Their software expires after 15 days, but not the QC add-ons, I believe.

Boolean Values in Custom Patch

mr.p's picture

I am trying to make a patch that receives boolean input, from the keyboard patch, so far the patch has a boolean input that will change the value when I click the check box in the patch inspector but when i hook the patch up to the keyboard patch the desired key does not change the boolean value on my custom patch. I am wondering why this is happening.
