Plugins for After effect

Extrude tool default has been updated to make extrusion easier. The spike filter has been turned on to help cut bad polygons and the normalize scale mode has been turned off by default. This allows text to be created and edited without completely resizing when you change the text. Keep in mind the size of the bevel is based on the size of your text layer.

Particular 2.2 goes way, way beyond the basics, with realistic natural effects, lighting control for shaded particles, 3D camera integration, custom shapes, depth of field, and physics controls such as air resistance, gravity and turbulence. Particular is used in motion pictures like Spider Man 3 and Angels & Demons.

Keying out a green screen, or any other colour that’s in shot, can be tricky with the basic filters in After Effects. Primatte Keyer is impressive because one click will often give you a near-perfect key. Fine tuning that key is simple - you drag a cleanup brush on the background and then the foreground. No other keyer has such a straightforward, visual solution to keying.

You can also apply pre-blur, refine edges and wrap light to make a perfect composite. It’s far from cheap, but for users who use keying on a semi-regular basis, it can be considered an essential tool.

Optical Flares is a plug-in for designing and animating realistic lens flares in After Effects.

Use the hundreds of professionally designed presets as is, or use the Looks tools to powerfully manipulate color and light. Skin scopes make your talent look good. A new S-curve tool gives you fine contrast control, letting you “shoot flat” and apply punch in post. A new LUT tool adds BulletProof compatibility, allowing you to bring color settings from the set to your edit suite. Version 2.5 boasts major speed improvements, faster previews, and improved integration with host applications.

Red Giant Mojo runs in a variety of host applications. Each purchase and serial number allows the owner to use the product on more than one host application, but only on a single computer at any one time. Except where noted, the features are the same in all systems and host applications.
