Can you ID these FCP filters? at DVinfo.net

There are a couple of filters I like to use to adjust brightness and contrast, and back when I made them favorite effects I renamed them. Now I'd like to advise my editor to use them, but can't because I don't know the original names of the filters.

I've been through all of the Final Cut filters over and over but these two are not among them despite being favorite effects. It seems they were originally in the "Image Control" folder.

Can anyone ID these filters?

1. an FxPlug Video Filter that "Adjusts the brightness of an object."
2. an FxPlug filter that "Adjusts the contrast of an object."

In case they help, the XML effectid tags are
FxPlugWrapper:2E4DBB0A_A950_4896_BC2D_A5B0CFF7FAC6
FxPlugWrapper:B13B57AC_811B_4A24_BB5A_2167A3C66F5F

Please see the attached thumbnails, and thanks so much for your help.

Apparently you didn't rename either of those two as the names are unchanged. Both are found in the "Image Control" subheading of video filters.

Thanks Robert, so helpful. Funny thing is, I don't have those in my Image Control subheading! Does anyone know how to restore them? I've read that to do so I'd need to re-install Final Cut; I'd prefer a simpler solution.

Oops. Could it be you simply moved them from their default location rather than renaming them? The filters are actually on your system, otherwise they wouldn't appear in your list (and the descriptions match exactly what my system says).
