But while Supercomp really ties the suite together, let’s start at the very beginning.

Supercomp is so wildly ambitious it deserves a full article to itself, and it will be interesting to re-visit it in 6 months or a year to see what impact it’s had on real-world users. Supercomp is unlike any After Effects plugin I’ve ever seen, in some ways it’s an After Effects plugin that’s a mini-After Effects. And of the new plugins, by far the most surprising and ambitious is the aptly named “Supercomp” – a self-contained compositing render engine packaged as an After Effects plugin. Of the nine plugins, four are updates to older products and five are completely new. Where relevant, they support motion blur. The new VFX suite replaces the older Keying Suite and Effects Suite, which have both been discontinued.Īll nine plugins include GPU acceleration, and all support projects with 8, 16 and 32 bit depth. The brand new Red Giant VFX Suiteis comprised of nine individual After Effects plugins, including an updated Primatte Keyer and the latest version of Knoll Light Factory.

Red Giant Software has been developing After Effects plugins for over 15 years, and today they’ve launched their newest product.
