    1. Built a Clip AI Extend Workflow Extension for Final Cut — is this just me, or would you actually use it?
    2. I made a free open-source tool that turns your .cube LUTs into individual effects in the Effects browser — no plugins, no Motion required
    3. Made an audio-reactive visualizer for FCP: 14 looks, works vertical/square/wide, would love feedback.
