Trouble with Pro Puppet
April 1, 2022

Had a problem with installing ProPuppet with macOS system Monterey. I went on a chat line and I was promptly serviced with some quick fixes. When that did not work, I was able to participate in a screen share and the problem was solved as well as others that would have arisen in the future. The service was excellent and was complete. This reinforces my confidence in pixel film Studios and I would endorse them wholeheartedly. Thank you

You can pretty much drag and play in your timeline, but what I don't like the most is that when updates come, you'll see a lot of red screen and it can be annoying as you have to delay your project and update everything. With all that though, they have a great chat support can help you fix it.

I would have got in contact with the help desk on about 10 occasions seeking help in install and upgrading pixel film products, and then also technical questions when i have struggled work out an a feature. Every time i have got a reply in 24 hours, and they are genuinely happy to help and have fixed the issues each time in one email. Sensational. The 4 products i own are also amazing... so 10/10 for service and product

Products AND Customer Service Are 5 Star!
March 10, 2022

I have been using PixelFilmStudios for a while, and I've always loved their products. They're easy to use, easy to install, and they offer excellent quality!

Recently, I kept getting an error screen in Final Cut Pro, so I reached out to customer service using the chat. Not only was I connected to a human being really quickly, but they were kind, they helped resolve my issue in literally minutes, and they were super patient with me while I walked through the steps to fix my error message.

PixelFilmStudio is a fantastic brand, and I'm always looking forward to what they will come out with next!

SOLVING RED SCREEN
March 3, 2022

I struggled all day trying to search the internet for an answer, tried everything and failed. I tried the Autobot on the PixelFilms website as it was out of hours. I got a response within 2 hours giving me a code to find the files and asked to send a screenshot. I now accessed LIVECHAT and just attached the screenshot and was given the answer immediately.
I followed the instructions and my problem was solved - time 2 minutes!

I was turned on to these Plugins a few years ago and told that 'With FCPX and a few plug-ins from Pixel you can rule the world'. I don't rule the world, but clients love my edits. And that's the important part. Customer service is top-notch and the plug-ins are fantastic.

Installed a plug in and received the common red screen in FCP. The standard steps in the guide didn't help and I was getting frustrated. Joined the online chat support and they fixed it right up for me! As someone who's sat through plenty of agonizing tech support experiences, this one was exceptional! Thanks!

UPDATE 02/23/2022: I followed the responder's suggestions ans was able to solve the issue. Much appreciated, was solved quickly. I changed the rating 4 stars now, still find the website difficult to navigate when needing help. But appreciate the response!
-----------------

I installed M1 chip updated plugins but I still get message when I open FCP that plugins need to be updated. Impossible to find any help on PFS site. They also limit number of downloads on plugins so if you change computers or need to re-install plugin you will eventually need to purchase another license. Overall plugins have not worked well in FCP, very slow and lag from hell. One star is too generous for these folks due to lack of support.

Hey there Mark,

There is a CONTACT US section at the bottom of the site which has all of our information on how to get a hold of customer service.

Our support line can be found at https://bit.ly/PFS_Support, or you can click the orange chat bubble in the corner of the site.
Live agents are available Monday - Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM PST to speak with you in real time. Or if you're not able to come in at that time, you can leave an email ticket with our chatbot at any time. An agent will be able to answer your ticket during business hours. Please note that if you do not receive a response in 48 hours that you may need to double check your spam folder in your email.

The Download limit can be reset by customer service. You do not need to repurchase a plugin that has hit a download limit. We currently have this measure in place to prevent website piracy.

The message you are seeing does not affect your ability to use the plugin. This appears because the plugins are both compatible with Intel and M1 systems, so they install both versions of the apps during the installation. You can contact customer service to show you how to remove these items, or you can click "don't show again" in the window.

We look forward to helping you with your issue as soon as possible :)

2 years ago I bought about $128 of Pixel Film studio software. It worked at first on my 2012 Mac Mini with mojave then one day POOF! No joy, all my plugins stopped working! I reached out to Pixel support and they informed me that they no longer were supporting my mac or mojavie but instead were re tooling everything for the new M1 chip. Well I wasn't planning on getting a new computer at taht time but a bout a year later while waiting on endless render times with my slow old mac I though, well what the heck. I got a 2020 Mac mini M1 with Monterey, 16 gig ram and 1 TB SSD. Tried to reinstall my plugins bu no joy>> Kept getting that annoying RED screen of death! You know the one> Well I again reached out to Pixel Film Studio support and got the delightfully helpful Chloe. She not only was supper helpful in getting me the missing FX plugin folder I was missing in my install path, she looked up fonts and control surface work a rounds that I was dealing with after I was able to successfully get all my plug ins to finally work. Chloe you saved my faith in not only Pixel Film Studio products but in humanity its self. Good costumer service seems to be a thing of the past now a days but not with Chloe. Thank you so very much!

Glad to hear that the plugin is working out well for you, Ömer! We know troubleshooting can be frustrating. That is why we are working everyday to make the experience better!

Most issues can be resolved pretty quickly with all the right information. It always helps to have some screen shots of your Mac Specs and FCPX Version number as well as some screenshots or a screen recording of the issue.

We hope you are still loving the plugin!

Came up against a problem with a plugin - patience and expertise from PFS solved the problem with ease and skill. Without the time and effort of the staff, hours and hours of work would have been lost. Thank you so much. I'd highly recommend PFS for both brilliant products and service. A very satisfied customer!
