Creating custom plug-ins from built-in plug-ins
All editors using Final Cut Pro have access to and use the built-in plug-ins, so the effects added using them may become recognizable.
To achieve a fresh, unique look, a simple solution is to combine the different effects to give them your own distinctive identity.
The Simple title icon on the left of Figure 11.56 is the built-in Centered title. It can be transformed by using a Dynamic background and the Social lower third, with a logo (as shown on the right of Figure 11.56) – all effects that are supplied as part of Final Cut Pro.

The built-in effects will give you a good start with plug-ins, but you will need more as your editing skills progress. The vast number of available free plug-ins is the next place for you to look, which will be discussed in Chapter 12, Using Third-Party Plug-Ins.
