As you may or may not know, Adobe bought out Automatic Duck totally, and their site went down, they stopped supporting/selling their vital Final Cut products. Today they 'claim' the site is back up, although for the life of me, I can't get anything but the 'we sold our souls to Adobe' news page they put up some time ago. If anyone can get through to a 'real' web page, please let me know.

These freebies are very valuable to those who still need them. Original Message Automatic Duck news October 28, 2011 If you missed our mail last month you should check it out as it got a lot of people talking. Today we have a follow-up. Our web site has relaunched* and while the overall look of the site is similar there is a dramatic difference in how we are distributing our plug-ins. Starting today Pro Import AE, Pro Import FCP and Pro Export FCP (both versions, for FCP7 and FCPX) are available at no charge. You read this right. We are unable to provide support at the same level as we have over the years, but we didn't want these plug-ins to go away while they remain useful.

So if you can make use of these plug-ins in your projects, enjoy! Thank you to all of our users, working with you for the last 10 1/2 years was a truly wonderful experience. - Wes and Harry *if you go to and still get redirected to our letter from last month you may need to flush your DNS cache so you get to our new site.

Automatic Duck Pro Import 2.0. It consisted of two modules, the FCP ASE (automatic sequence export) plug-in and the Import module for After Effects.
