The Red Giant Universe Expands with Version 1.1 - Published on 07/02/14
Red Giant has released an update to Red Giant Universe, its new multi-host app library of GPU accelerated tools. Universe is community with access to an ever-expanding library of tools for filmmakers, editors, VFX artists, and motion designers. Version 1.1 includes nine new free and premium effects as well as functionality updates to several existing Universe tools. These updates expand the Universe toolset to 59 Effects and Transitions, more than half of which are free.
San Francisco, California - Red Giant has released an update to Red Giant Universe, its new multi-host app library of GPU-accelerated tools. The updated (version 1.1) includes nine new free and premium effects as well as updates that add new features and functionality to several existing Universe tools. These updates expand the Universe toolset to 59 Effects and Transitions, more than half of which are free.
"When we released Universe, we promised frequent updates," said Sean Safreed, Red Giant's co-founder. "We added three new free tools including an awesome little Luminance noise generator. We also included Red Giant Carousel, available for the first time for Adobe apps. We held this release up for a few days to make sure it worked well in Adobe's new CC 2014 release."
With less than two months of development time, one might expected a software update to offer some minor improvements, and maybe one or two new tools. But the Red Giant Universe team has turned around a large amount of new content in just a few weeks; and not only are there a lot of new tools, there are a lot of great ones.
"I'm really really impressed not only by the number of new tools, but by their quality and the artistic possibilities they provide," said filmmaker and editor David Pepe. "Just the nine new tools in this update alone are worth the entire cost of Universe."
The secret is Supernova, Red Giant's powerful, new java script-based development platform, which makes the process of creating and updating plug-ins much faster and easier than ever before. Supernova also makes it simple to output plug-ins for all supported host apps, at the touch of a button. Currently, Universe supports Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro X and Motion, with more host apps on the way.
This release of Universe includes many new additions and updates including glows, cartoon effects, vintage footage treatments and more. Version 1.1 also features SplitScreen Blocks and SplitScreen Custom Blocks from CrumplePop, based on its extremely popular split-screen tool. This is the first time this tool is available for Premiere Pro and After Effects. In addition, Holomatrix and ToonIt have also been given new features and presets, based on user feedback.
One of the most interesting aspects of Universe is that plug-in development is being driven by the community. To that end, Universe 1.1 also includes a new free high-quality Compound Blur tool based on community voting in Universe Labs.
