To be clear, this appears to be a result of how MC handles plug-ins and not a Red Giant flaw. A little extra work there, but once you apply the effect, you can make tweaks in the effect editor and see the change real-time. In Premiere, you just drag the text effect onto the title et voilà, but in MC you have to “step-in” to the title and then drag the effect onto one of the title effect layers. I ran into a snag when applying one of the text effects to a title. RGU offers 73 of its plug-ins in MC and only 60 of these plug-ins are real-time effects. There are some differences between using RGU in MC and Premiere. I was particularly excited to delve into these effects in AVID MC because I edit a lot in this NLE. There are also lots of customization options I could try out and view immediately.Ĭredit: Red Giant Compatibility with Media ComposerĪlong with 11 new transitions and improvements to the VHS transition and retrograde effect, this latest update introduces compatibility with AVID Media Composer. When I dragged the effect onto the clip, I was able to see the change in real time. The effect is loaded with different noise samples and function icons like play, FF, and rewind. I also liked the look of the new VHS stylize effect. I enjoyed using the Channel Surf transition that impersonates the distortion that occurs when changing the channel on a cathode ray tube TV. There are several other neat new transitions and effects added in this version. If you’ve found yourself sitting at the computer with that cuddly kitten supercut you’re getting paid the big bucks to edit and thinking, “Wouldn’t it be great if I could use a transition that is shaped like a star, but more controllable than starwipe!?" Well, you can with RGU’s new shape wipe transition. It’s an affordable option for stylizing footage in a variety of ways. Red Giant Universe 2.2 offers a toolbox of 76 effects and transitions for video editors and motion graphic artists. The new release of Red Giant added support for Media Composer, and since that is my primary NLE I was excited to see how it worked in that environment. I used it in Premiere Pro CC 2018 and AVID Media Composer 8.6.5 on a Mac Pro running Sierra 10.12. I swear by Red Giant’s Plural Eyes, but I have not used Universe before, so I tested it out without having experienced the previous versions. I recently got the chance to take Red Giant Universe 2.2-a set of GPU accelerated plugins for editors and motion graphics artists- for a spin.
We get hands-on with Red Giant Universe 2.2, now with Media Composer support.
