Highlights
Audio reactors
Form offers built-in audio reactors where the bass beat, a tambourine hit or a lilting voice track can drive the motion, color, opacity, displacement and other variables to generate mind-blowing visuals.
Powerful presets
Presets offer an easy starting point for novices and motion graphics professionals alike. The 61 presets are divided into five categories, including animation set to audio, flight presets that generate 3D terrain flyovers, and unique animations perfect for lower third titles.
Customize it
Form also offers fantastic flexibility with ability to drive color, displacement, size and more with images sourced from any layer in After Effects. This features lets you generate everything from a logo that blows away like sand to a full 3D model of the Earth.

Examples
A on Fire
Begin with a simple letter A, add realistic fire, then animate it. Trapcode Form is generating the undulating 3D surface adding blazing fire to the letter. Any shape or text object could be substituted for the letter in the animation.
Binary Transition
This transition uses a combination of Trapcode Form for the numbers, Trapcode Shine for the light rays, and Magic Bullet Looks for the color change. (from RGTV Ep. 1 & 2)
Logo Reveal
An expanding 3D spherical surface is generated by Form and used as part of a transition to reveal the Red Giant Software logo.
RGTV And The City
This title treatment, inspired by Sex in the City the Movie, uses a lot of our products. Trapcode Form generates the lights on the text, while Trapcode Particular makes the glints from the lights. Red Giant Warp creates the reflection, and Knoll Light Factory Pro creates the camera flashes.
Text to Sand
Some seemingly-solid letters dissolve into sand-like particles and disperse into the air. Form generates the rippling sand using the built-in fractal field controls.
Up to H
Mesmerizing animated flames change color along a warm gradient. The preset can have different colors and animation speeds, making it ideal for use as an animated background for DVD menus and more.
