Red Giant VFX Suite is a set of tools for creating realistic visual effects compositing in After Effects.
The VFX Suite offers a powerful set of tools for realistic visual effects composites in After Effects. With Supercomp, lighting and atmospheric effects interact with all your layers and scene elements in a much more natural way than can be modeled with a simple stack of 2D layers.
Lens Distortion Matcher makes it easy to match any camera lens, be it wide-angle, fisheye, GoPro or anything else, so your composite elements fit perfectly into your shot. The VFX Suite also includes tools for adding shadows and reflections that speed up some of the essential parts of creating a professional composite.
VFX Suite provides fast and automatic group-keys. Whether you’re using a green screen or a blue screen, Primatte Keyer can pull the perfect key regularly with just one click. Primatte’s cleaning tools help turn even the most complex shots into durable, professional composites.
VFX Suite features fast, accurate tracking right inside After Effects – no more exiting AE for great tracking results. Whether you’re pinning a rectangular sign or something not rectangular at all, King Pin Tracker has you covered. Also included is the Spot Clone Tracker, a powerful tool for quickly removing anything from skin imperfections to unwanted objects in a photo.
Optical Glow VFX Suite creates an incredibly fast, gorgeous, photorealistic glow effect – great for use in visual effects and motion graphics. It’s easy to use and by far the most beautiful high quality glow ever created for Adobe After Effects.
Knoll Light Factory brings you 3D lens flares from Industrial Light and Magic and includes over 200 presets based on movies from the 1960s to today.
VFX Suite makes it easy to generate beautiful prismatic displacement effects for visual effects and motion graphics. Unlike the displacement map effect in After Effects, Chromatic Displacement uses a displacement image as a height map that gives you beautiful, organic results – perfect for creating force fields, thermal ripples, light refractions, masking effects, and more.
