Trapcode Shine - Ultra-fast light ray effect!
Now supports Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 & After Effects!

Shine is a radial light effect plug-in that looks like volumetric light, but is actually a 2D effect. There are special controls to create lights that sweep through logotypes or any kind of footage, an effect seen everyday on TV and in many movie titles. Until Shine came to the market, it was only possible to generate this look using 3D apps or slower rendering 2D plug-ins.

• Render light rays quickly at 5-10 frames per second
• Delivers highest quality images with 32-bit support (After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion) and 16-bit support (Avid AVX, Premiere Pro)
• Works in After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere Pro and Avid
• Numerous coloring options including 3- and 5-color gradients with tweakable coloring presets
• Unique controls to make shimmering lights
• Built-in transfer modes, threshold and circular mask to create stunning looks

Uses
• Simulate a bright spotlight behind text or logos • Create sun rays from clouds or other objects
• Design animated backgrounds for DVD projects • Often used for horror movie titling effects

Trapcode Shine is available in the 3S Pack & the Suite

Trapcode Starglow - Ultra-fast star shaped glow on highlights!
Now supports Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 & After Effects!

Starglow is a fast-rendering multi-directional glow effect. It can be used to create multi-colored star shaped glints like those created from a camera filter. The star shape consists of eight directions, and each direction can be assigned an individual color map and streak length.

• Render light rays quickly at 5-10 frames per second
• Delivers highest quality images with 32-bit support (After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion) and 16-bit support (Avid AVX, Premiere Pro)
• Numerous coloring options including 3- and 5-color gradients with tweakable coloring presets
• Unique controls to make shimmering lights
• Built-in transfer modes, threshold and circular mask to create stunning looks

Uses: • Add glows and glints to highlight text or titles
• Simulate camera star filters using any video clip as a source • Design animated backgrounds for DVD projects

Trapcode Starglow is available in the 3S Pack & the Suite

Trapcode 3D Stroke - Create a world of organic shapes & fly camera through them!
Now supports Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 & After Effects!

3D Stroke uses paths from one or more masks to render volumetric strokes that can be rotated and moved freely in 3D space. It even has a built-in camera to create dynamic 3D environments. Path reveals are made easily using the keyframable sliders for start and end.

• Fast 3D rendering perfect for HD motion graphics
• Delivers highest quality images with 32-bit support (After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion) and 16-bit support (Avid AVX, Premiere Pro)
• Create dynamic 3D environments with After Effects composition camera
• Built-in camera for 3D camera support in Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Avid AVX
• Use the repeater to generate additional strokes that can be uniquely defined
• Add motion blur for a more realistic effect

Uses: • Dynamically write on a logo in 3D space
• Draw viewers’ attention to logos and objects • Create organic and fluid 3D lines add interest to any background

Trapcode 3D Strokeis available in the 3S Pack, 3D Pack, & the Suite

Trapcode Lux - Renders visible light for all point and spot lights in a scene!
Supports Adobe After Effects 6.5 and higher - Including AE CS3!

Lux simulates the phenomena of light reflection in a sparse medium, also known as "visible light". This can be observed when lights are present in a slightly foggy environment, like on stage during a concert or outdoors on a misty night.

Lux uses Adobe After Effects’ built-in lights to create visible light that matches how layers are lit. Lux will read properties such as position, color and cone angle from all point lights and spotlights and render visual representations of them. For even more integration, the spotlight cones can be set to reach a specified 3D layer in the composition.

Features
• Fast rendering • Lux takes full advantage of all processors (Mac&PC) and Intel Hyperthreading
• Works in 16bit (AE6 PB) and 8bit per channel color depths
• Internal 256bit (64bpc) calculations for exquiste results
• Reach Comp Layer option for spot lights to reach a specified 3D layer in the comp
• Option to select Light Model for different light looks
• Handles non-square pixel aspect ratio correctly • Extensive documentation

Trapcode Lux is available in the 3D Pack & the Suite

Trapcode Particular - Powerful 3D particles!
Supports Adobe After Effects 6.5 and higher - Including AE CS3!

Particular is a powerful 3D particle system that can produce a wide range of effects from natural smoke and explosions to geometric or organic abstract motion graphics design elements. Tight integration with Adobe After Effects provides bouncing particles on 3D layers, emitting particles from layers and lights and using a layer as custom particle. Comp-camera aware and 16bit of course!

The physics engine includes air resistance, gravity and turbulence, providing very realistic particle motion. The keyframable Physics Time Factor gives you full control over time so you can freeze time and move the camera around in a scene.

Features
• Fast rendering • Real-time interactive preview • Advanced physics
• Custom particles (use a layer as 2D sprite) • Comp-camera aware • Numerous presets
• Works in 16bit (AE6 PB) and 8bit per channel color depths
• Handles non-square pixel aspect ratio correctly • Built-in motion blur

Trapcode Particular is available in the 3D Pack & the Suite

Trapcode EchoSpace - 3D layer repeater!
Supports Adobe After Effects 6.5 and higher - Including AE CS3!

Echospace is used to duplicate, manage and animate layers in a convenient manner. It works similair to an echo effect, but instead of creating 2D echoes, it creates new instances of a layer in 3D space.

Trapcode Echospace can be applied to footage, text, solids or even nested compositions. It features a built-in animation delay to create time-rippling effects. It can also add randomness to the positions of layers to spread them out randomly in 3D space.

Features
• Fully utilizes Adobe After Effects built-in OpenGL acceleration
• Created layers intersects and casts shadows on other layers in the comp

Trapcode EchoSphere is only available in the Suite

Trapcode Sound Keys - Make your animations move with the rhythm!
Supports Adobe After Effects 5.0 and higher - Including AE CS3!

Sound Keys is a keyframe generator plug-in for Adobe After Effects 5.0 and higher. It allows visually selecting a range in the audio spectrum and convert the audio energy in the selected frequencies to a stream of keyframes. It is very handy for making extremely audio-driven animations.

Sound Keys fundamentally differs from the keyframe generators that comes with AE. They (wiggler, motion sketch etc) have their own palette, whereas Sound Keys is applied as a regular effect and keyframes are generated into its own output parameters and then linked with an expression (or copied into place). An advantage with this approach is that all settings for the plug-in are saved with the project.

Features
• Easy-to-use visual interface • 32-band adjustable spectrum
• Instant, Linear and Exponential falloff • Adjustable output range
• Extensive documentation: Manual and Tutorials

Trapcode Sound Keys is only available in the Suite
