Little says it was time to simplify the customer experience by organizing most of their software within four signature suites: Magic Bullet, Trapcode, Keying and Effects. With 50 "a la carte" products for sale, including the popular Guru Presets, which collects short-cut templates for Red Giant tools created by power users, the company was in danger of diluting its message with too many choices. "Under, we now offer software products, our TV station and our communities, called Red Giant People." "The site represents work we've been doing behind the scenes for a year and a half," he says. Now known simply as Red Giant, the company is using its unified online presence to connect with all of its current and potential users. President Andrew Little, who co-founded the nine-year-old company with product strategist Sean Safreed, told me that the release is part of a larger company consolidation that streamlines the company's products, its branding, its communities and its Web site. Last week under the radar, Red Giant released a new version of Trapcode Suite 10 with a single installer and serial number for the suite's nine plug-ins. Now ProRes, timecode from camera EXIF data, and 25p conform frame rate are all available options. Cosmo, seen above, is spot treatment of the highest order: simply drop it on your footage and keep working.įor the DSLR/HDSLR crowd who discovered Grinder last year, version 1.5, launched at NAB, brings expanded support for multiple formats.

In addition to the skin-enhancing Cosmo tool, version 2 now features Haze Flare, Lens Distortion and the popular Colorista 3-Way and Pop from Colorista II. Looks 2, with its improved interface, new scopes and updated presets, is the stand-out in the bunch. Upgrades from Magic Bullet Looks 10 is $199 and those who already own Looks can upgrade to the entire suite for $399. The suite also still lists for its previous version price of $799. Support for Final Cut Pro X is on the way shortly. Each of the plug-ins is optimized for 64-bit for use with Adobe CS5.5 and Apple Final Cut Pro 7 and Motion. Users can now access all nine tools inside the new suite with only one installer and one serial number, perhaps the most significant change to result from the upgrade.
