Dang, I missed the offer. Would be very interested in an in-depth review, whether it's worth the 75 bucks compared to other color grading options (incl. native FCP X). Cheers!

I would like to see a real life example too ...

Well, I did buy the Finisher, but haven't had much of a chance to try it out. Looking at it in Motion, I realized that it was merely a clever, though quite basic, combo of three native Motion filters & a composite, not unlike something I'd played around with myself in Conduit. Not sure how I feel about that. I really don't mind paying for someone else's recipe, when the success of that recipe is a product of the "cook's" experience and expertise. But I find the price for this one "preset" rather high in comparison with the brilliant entire cookbooks you get from the folks who make, respectively, mLooks and Luster-Grade Presets. I expected custom code for the price of Finisher, I have to admit.

Which brings up an interesting and probably soon quite relevant or even contentious topic about the marketing of effects for FCP X & Motion. Ought developers be transparent about what their product actually is? And I think it's a bit more complex that "well, if it does the job it advertises, I shouldn't care". Me, I'd like to know. I was actually (positively) blown away when I realized that mLooks are all made from Motion bits and therefore fully customizable. It's the best $39 I have spent on software this year. I would have paid double that. Motion VFX also don't disclose in their advertising that these mLooks are "real" presets, and therefore fundamentally different (also in terms of what I can do with & to them) than say Mojo. At the same time, their mFlares has a custom interface and, presumably, code.

If anyone finds this pertinent, I'll start a thread; I already have a few more thoughts on the issue.

Interesting you say that, that is why I do not recognize this as a Filter more as a Template.
I hope Apple may bring a lock or pass function for the Smart Motion Templates/Rigs.

But back on the Topic... I also would like to see some user examples.

Please start a new thread, i think lots of people have thoughts on the plugin v template, code v built in effects debate
