Trapcode 3S Pack + Professional Training with Trapcode 3S Bundle
We've put together a cool new plug-ins/training bundle for you containing 3 awesome Trapcode Plug-ins. The products normally retail for $268 but get them in this special bundle for just $199 through the end of September.
The Trapcode 3S Bundle includes Trapcode's Adobe After Effects plug-ins, Shine, Starglow and 3D Stroke.
Shine
Shine is the fastest and possibly most versatile light rays plug-in for Adobe After Effects and other host apps. Shine features all the features of other light ray plug-ins, plus a handy shimmer parameter for easily adding subtle motion to your light beams.
Light rays can be colored by the source image, or they may consist of a multi-colored gradient. Nice controls for masks and transfer modes are also built into the filter. But Shine's speed is its best feature.
Starglow
Starglow is a fast-rendering glow effect that creates a star-shaped glow around the highlights of the source. The star shape consists of eight directions, and each direction can be assigned an individual colormap and streak length.
3D Stroke
3D Stroke uses paths from one or more masks to render volumetric strokes that can be rotated and moved freely in 3D space. It even has a built-in camera to create dynamic 3D environments. Path reveals are made easily using the keyframable sliders for start and end.

Shine, Starglow, and 3D Stroke Now Support Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere Pro, and Avid AVX
San Francisco, CA, July 23, 2007 – Red Giant Software, publisher of a line of professional digital video tools, including Magic Bullet and Knoll Light Factory, today released new versions of the popular Trapcode motion graphics products, Shine, Starglow, and 3D Stroke. In 2006, Red Giant Software and Trapcode formed a partnership, where Red Giant Software assumed exclusive publishing rights to all seven Trapcode products worldwide.
Trapcode Shine version 1.5 is a handy plug-in for simulating a bright spotlight behind text or logos. Shine is used frequently for movie titling effects. Users can also create sun rays from clouds or other objects, which are great for animating backgrounds for DVD projects.

Trapcode 3D Stroke version 2.5 lets users dynamically write on a logo in 3D space; plus create organic and fluid lines. This effect is used commonly on TV, for example with the Food Network and ABC IDs.

3D Stroke now features a series of 40 preset shapes for generating outlines or swirling strokes to captivate your audience.
