Products: Red Giant Software

What would we do without Red Giant Software, the company behind so many useful graphics apps such as Knoll Light Factory and Trapcode?

The company has another motion-graphics tool for you to consider: Radium Glow. Designed to add optical glows and glitter to scenes, Radium Glow provides pinpoint control over the glow, along with editable shapes that can generate precise outlines or create glimmering points — unlike most glow filters that just blur the source video, according to Red Giant. In order to mimic real light behavior, you'll have access to advanced edge controls, built-in masking, and output controls.

The three glow plug-ins can be used to add neon-shaped glows to text, or they can be combined with Trapcode Particular or other plug-ins to create sparkle and shimmer effects. www.redgiantsoftware.com
