Elastic Gasket is an affordable, high-performance adapter that allows a growing list of supported third-party Adobe After Effects plug-ins to run transparently under Avid AVX-compliant editors such as Avid Symphony, Media Composer, Avid Xpress, Avid Xpress Pro, and Avid Xpress DV.
Version 2.0 Now Available! Version 2.0 adds RT (Green Dot) mode support, enabling adapted After Effects plug-ins to support Avid's YUV color space, allowing for overall better performance and interactivity than in Blue Dot mode. Version 2.0 is available and supported only on Windows-based Xpress Pro and Media Composer Adrenaline systems. See the Elastic Gasket Specifications for details. Existing users of these systems can upgrade to v2.0 from our online store.
Avid users without After Effects simply can=92t access After Effects-only plug-ins. Users with both systems face a choice between the added cost of buying plug-ins twice (if available) or the added time of moving image data from one system to another to take advantage of an After Effects-only plug-in.
Elastic Gasket does not adapt plug-ins bundled with After Effects they are incompatible with Adobe's published third-party plug-in specification.
Elastic Gasket for Avid|DS is no longer available. Official support for existing Elastic Gasket for Avid|DS and Avid DS Nitris users ended October 31, 2004.
