FxFactory 1.0.6 is a free upgrade that fixes plug-in
compatibility issues with Motion 3. This version also
includes two new plug-ins for Pro users:
Videoconference (a transition) and Neon Circles (a
filter), improvements to existing plug-ins and to the
Presets feature.
Neon Circles
This new filter available to FxFactory Pro users combines edge detection techniques with some of the techniques of the Dots and LED Lights plug-ins to give you a flexible stylization that lends itself to creating interesting backgrounds and cool new pixellation effects.
User Presets
The Presets feature in FxFactory has been improved to allow user-generated presets to appear in the Presets popup menu in the parameter inspector:
User-generated preset files can be made to appear under the Presets menu simply by saving them to one of the following locations:

Drag your own preset files to one of the above locations, restart your host and the popup menu will sport a new "User Presets" section that lets you pick your own presets quickly and easily.
Perspective Reflection
One of our most popular plug-ins has been improved with a simple, yet powerful new feature: the "Reflection Swingback" parameter lets you animate in and out of the effect, making it easier to blend the effect with existing content on the timeline:
Other Changes
Minor bug fixes and/or improvements have also been made to the Pencil Sketch plug-in, to the distortion effects in the FxFactory Motion Pack, and to the transitions in the FxFactory Editing Pack.
