Unlike Adobe’s Creative Cloud, as well as monthly premium ($10) and annual premium ($99) membership options, you can buy Red Giant out with a one-time lifetime subscription fee ($399). Red Giant say that most of the plugins they’ve sold up until now aren’t part of Universe. Their colour, keying and Trapcode plugin suites are still available in the normal way. GPU Powerįinal Cut Pro X and Apple Motion users are used to the near real-time rendering speed of GPU-based plugins. Red Giant Universe brings that same power to Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects users on OS X and Windows. The secret to Red Giant Universe is the ‘Supernova’ tool. This development system uses a javascript-like scripting language to access the Red Giant Universe Library a collection of image processing libraries whose code is combined together to make cross-platform Universe plugins. Sadly Supernova is only available to internal Red Giant developers for now.Īs well as using the RG Universe Library to build new free and premium plugins as months go by, Red Giant say they’ll also be adding new modules to the code library – so new plugins will have access to more advanced GPU code.
