Red Giant announces Universe 2.0

Red Giant has introduced the new version of Universe, its effects and transitions platform aimed at motion graphics editors and designers.

With this update, Adobe’ s latest release (the CC2015.3 collection) is now fully supported. Of course, there are also new tools and improvements to existing ones.

• HUD Components
• Line
• Logo Motion
• Color Stripe Transition

In addition, 22 effects have been updated to improve the user experience. Thanks to the new “preset browser”, it is possible to preview the effect and apply it by simply clicking on the image of the desired preset.

Finally, new functions have been included within:

• Holomatrix II: which now adds new distortion effects based on holographic images from movies such as “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” or “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay”.

• Camera Shake: has been redesigned to achieve various realistic camera movements.

• Unmult: offers additional controls to more precisely remove black backgrounds and generate an alpha channel.

In this video you can see what these four new effects consist of, explained in a simple and visual way, as well as those with renewed aspects.

Universe 2.0 features a suite of more than 60 GPU-accelerated toolsets available for Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro X, Motion, Sony Vegas, Hitfilm and DaVinci Resolve.
