RED GIANT

VFX

VFX is a set of plugins for keying, tracking, cleanup, and visual effects compositing, right inside of After Effects. VFX makes it easy to create seamless composites and gives you tools for fast, accurate motion tracking, lens distortion and object replacement/removal. And if you need beautiful glows, distortions and lens flares – VFX has got that too.

WHAT’S NEW

VFX 2024.1 now features obscuration and a Light Ball core projection option. As groundbreaking as Real Lens Flares itself, obscuration allows you to add fully integrated flare effects to any shot! Light Ball core projection gives flares a physical presence in the scene, and VFX Spot Clone Tracker helps you improve your tracking game with a new Tracker Only feature.

Features-VFX

Fast, Automatic Chroma keying

User Interface

Primatte Keyer ’s streamlined user interface makes it easy to modify your key.

Spill Killer

Primatte Keyer’s Spill Killer tools remove any of the stubborn green and blue spill not removed in a key.

Core Matte

Utilizing the luminance in your foreground, the Core Matte tool keeps the inside of your key solid, while preserving fine details on the edges.

A toolkit for realistic VFX composites in After Effects

The Supercomp Panel Supercomp’s layers are easy to read at a glance. Quickly access the complete set of effects through a radial menu for fast application and results.		Preview Fine Detail With the Supercomp Panel, you can view your full composite, or you can drill all the way down to a single selected effect.
Context Aware Unlike standard After Effects layers and effects, in Supercomp, all layers and effects applied are aware of changes to other layers in a composite.		Supercomp Layers Supercomp supports three different layer types: Normal, Additive, and Displacement. Each layer type has its own set of effects and presets.
Presets With Layer Presets, you can apply multiple Supercomp effects at once to get a starting point or even an instant final result.		Animation Most controls in Supercomp can be animated. Just right-click on a parameter and select Add Keyframe.
32-Bit Floating Point HDR No matter what the bit-depth of your After Effects project, Supercomp always works in 32-bit float, with proper gamma management.		GPU Acceleration All 17 of the effects in Supercomp are GPU-Accelerated, giving you fast feedback and renders.
Easy Pickup And Handoff No more having to remember what you did when opening an older project, or trying to figure out what someone else did when you inherit a project.		Color Correction Supercomp offers powerful Color Correction. Once you set your black level, no subsequent adjustments will alter the black values of the layer.
Color Match We have added a “Match Background” button. Supercomp uses it to instantly match the black and white points of the underlying layers.		Color Space Supercomp offers 28 color spaces that support popular cameras such as the Arri Alexa, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema, Canon, RED, and more.
Optical Glow Supercomp’s Optical Glow creates a natural-looking glow that adapts to changes in brightness and color, and blends beautifully into the background.		Layer Glow Layer Glow works without foreground wrapping. That is good for layers that create an atmospheric glow that should be occluded by foreground elements.
Light Wrap Supercomp’s Light Wrap is highly customizable and works in an optically-correct color space, so you never get that “overdone” light wrap look.		Reverse Light Wrap Reverse Light Wrap spreads subtle color and light from the foreground onto the background layers.
Haze Blend your foreground layer into the atmospheric perspective of the background with a heavily diffused background color.		Blur Behind The Blur Behind effect makes it easy to blur the background according to the opacity of the foreground layer.
Edge Erode Supercomp’s Edge Erode effect adds smooth transparency to the edges of your foreground layer. Use it to shave a harsh edge off an almost-perfect key.		Volume Fog Volume Fog adds “god rays” of background light spilling over the foreground. They can be diffused, so that the lighting takes on a more subtle look.
Edge Blend The Edge Blend effect finds the sharp edges of your foreground layer and blurs it together with the background.		Diffusion If the element you’re trying to composite into a shot looks too sharp compared to the organic background plate, Diffusion is the effect you want.
Heat Blur Supercomp’s Heat Blur tool allows you to blur and displace the layers below using a custom luminance extraction from the foreground.		Displacement Layers Displacement layers use the same engine as the standalone Chromatic Displacement effect, integrated into the Supercomp engine.
Core Matte The core matte tool allows you to create punchy, saturated elements that still have naturally transparent edges.		Grain, Managed Every effect you add is automatically grain-managed, so your composites are always seamlessly integrated with your background footage.

Fast, accurate planar tracking, right inside of After Effects

Planar Tracker King Pin Tracker’s planar tracking technology is faster and more robust than any other tracker for After Effects.		Pin Any Shape King Pin Tracker’s From Pins let you choose the points in your object that you want as the basis of the pin, not just where they are pinning to.
Translate, Scale, and Rotate With easy to use translate, scale and rotate tools, you can easily reposition, resize and align your object after the track.		High Quality Sampling & Anti-Aliasing King Pin Tracker features a sampling algorithm that keeps layers sharp while avoiding moiré.
Motion Blur King Pin Tracker renders fast, with high-quality motion blur that matches your After Effects comp settings.		Fast Track King Pin Tracker gives you great results at incredible speeds.
Copy To Pins, To From Pins King Pin includes a one-click workflow that copies the position of the To Pins to the From Pins.		Enhanced User Experience King Pin Tracker offers fantastic placement tools such as the ability to move the entire shape as one.

Render On Transparent

If you want to use its results with further compositing and matting, there’s a Render On Transparent option.

Noises

As a finishing touch, you can automatically add noise to the cloned spot to create an even better/more professional composite.

GPU Acceleration

Motion Graphics

Chromatic Displacement works great for motion graphics.

Create complex perspective shadows in After Effects

Easy User Interface With Shadow’s visual user interface you can change the angle, shadow start point and the bend with simple handles in the AE comp window.		Fade & Softness One of the unique, powerful aspects of Fade and Softness is its ability to blur and fade the shadow as it gets further from the source.
Transform Shadow makes it easy to manage both scale and offsets for more convincing (or stylized) results.		Bend Shadow can bend the effect to give the illusion that your subject’s shadow is cast on the floor and then up a wall.
