Text Message 2 for FCP featured in Neighbours - Erinsborough High

Neighbours is the longest-running drama series on Australian television, celebrating its 35th Anniversary in 2020. It is produced by Fremantle and still today is viewed by a global audience of millions, making it one of Australia’s most successful media exports.

Late Night Films used Text Message 2 from BretFX to display the text messages students were sending each other on screen as discussed in this article excerpt on FCP Cafe…

“In the series, the characters are constantly communicating with each other via iMessages. For the graphics for this, after testing a bunch of other products, and experimenting with our own Motion template, we ended up using the incredible “Text Message 2” Motion Template from BretFX. Bret Williams was absolutely fantastic in terms of addressing some special feature requests we had, and gave us access to a pre-release of “Text Message 2” for this show.”

    I bought this and I wasn’t sure how to customize it. So I sent him an email and he responded in few seconds and we were talking back and forth in emails and he stayed up till the plugin worked for my customization.
    Excellent Customer Service
    Best plugin.
    I will keep buying all his plugins since the plugins make my films looks cool
