Red Giant Software Releases Trapcode Products for Editors
Shine, Starglow, and 3D Stroke Now Support Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere Pro, and Avid AVXSan 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 Starglow version 1.5 brings text and titles to life with glows and glints. The filters are based on a star shape that consists of eight directions, and each direction can be assigned an individual color map and streak length. Many users like to use Shine and Starglow together.
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.
What’s New?- Shine, Starglow, and 3D Stroke now work for the first time in Final Cut Pro, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Avid AVX.
- Support has been added for full 32-bit floating-point rendering for generating light rays, glows, and animated lines with the highest quality output.
- 3D Stroke now features a series of 40 preset shapes for generating outlines or swirling strokes to captivate your audience.
Pricing and Availability- Trapcode Shine, Starglow, and 3D Stroke are now available for $99 USD each. Each product order includes support for Final Cut Pro, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Avid AVX.
- Current Trapcode After Effects users can upgrade for $49 USD per product or $99 for all three. All upgrades include support for all platforms – Final Cut Pro, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Avid AVX.

LME Fantastic Light Configurations Price Drop
LME Fantiastic AE Light Configuratons and
Fantastic Lux Light Configurations have been lowered from $139 to $99 (Toolfarm sells them for $94!). These are really cool and useful collections of compositions for After Effects (one uses Trapcode Lux and the other does not). I've been working on a review of the products and it's partway finished. I'm such a slacker ;-). If you're new to After Effects, these products are wonderful to help you learn because you can reverse-engineer them. If you're a seasoned veteran of After Effects, but in a time crunch, LME's products will help you work faster with preconfigured comps and effects. These are not at all simple and would take a person quite a while to build. They do the hard work for you and you get the glory.
Well, that is the jist of my review! Expect a longer more detailed review soon, but in the meantime, check out some LME freebies that we've posted recently.
