"Must Have Plugins"

4.5/5

What do you like best about RedGiant Effects Suite?

Their effects suite covers everything from motion graphics effects to color grading presets to A/V syncing. My favorite of theirs is the Trapcode Particular plugins. I tend to use at least one version of their particles for almost every motion graphic I create. All of their plugins can be super simple to use with their presets they supply for you, or you can go even further and customize everything you could want to. You could even start with a preset and then customize that to fit your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RedGiant Effects Suite?

There isn't much I don't like about this suite. I guess the main drag would have to be cost. To purchase everyone of their products can be pricey, so i would pick and choose the one that most suites you and your everyday work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RedGiant Effects Suite:

Their products cost can definitely add up. I would look at the plugins that will best help your workflow for post production. I recommend Magic Bullet if you want quick easy to use color correction effects. Trapcode Particular if you are doing motion graphics. Universe is an annual fee, but it definitely has it's uses as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RedGiant Effects Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have all of their products. I've used their Magic Bullet plug in to do really quick color grades for projects, especially with the presets they offer, which can be all customized. Their version of particles in trapcode, in my opinion, is better than the native particles in AE. Red Giant just makes things better and in a lot of cases can save time when trying to do some awesome effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product that speeds up workflow"

4.5/5

What do you like best about RedGiant Effects Suite?

I love PluralEyes and got it for its ability to quickly sync video and audio (especially from a multi-cam shoot) and it can even compensate for audio drift. This makes it so that audio that would otherwise be unusable becomes useable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RedGiant Effects Suite?

I don't like how often the program prompts me to update it. I'm also asked to update programs I don't have. I think it's a lure to buy more of their products so I just ignore the updates that aren't directly for the product I've purchased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Red Giant - De-Noiser II - Way useful plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro"

5/5

What do you like best about RedGiant Effects Suite?

Red Giant has a huge assortment of visual editing effects and plug-ins. I use the De-noiser II within Adobe Premiere Pro. It has a really easy to use interface and the results are top quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RedGiant Effects Suite?

There is a learning curve with the De-Noiser II, so incorporating an interactive walk-thru would be very beneficial for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RedGiant Effects Suite:

If you're in the video production/editing business, it's crucial to have the right plug-ins for your software. Red Giant has everything you might need to bring your video production to the next level. Read the guides and watch tutorials to get a good grasp on the functionality and, in the end, you'll be happy you did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RedGiant Effects Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?

De-Noiser helps to increase production quality where the risk of low light video footage may be prominent. We've had several videos that were shot in low light, with inadequate camera settings so the De-Noiser allowed us to compensate and correct those issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
