Trapcode Suite refreshed for AE CC 2015

Trapcode Suite has been updated for CC 2015. One problem remains with Sound Keys - it cannot generate new keyframes when run in AE CC 2015. Your old project will load and work fine, it is just new generation that doesn't work. This issue will require a fix from Adobe, they are aware and on it.

Because of this issue we recommend that you keep CC 2014 side by side. The CC 2015 installer by defualt removes any previous installations, so read this before you install CC 2015.

More info and how to get the updates.

Trapcode Mir and Trapcode Suite 12 released

Trapcode Suite 12 and Trapcode Mir is now released:

http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/blog/2012/07/31/trapcode-suite-12-is-here/

Here is a quick walk-through of Trapcode Mir:

For a more comprehensive description of functionality, check out the Trapcode Mir training.

Mir works in AE CS4 and up. (It may work in earlier versions but not tested and not supported)

Please note that Trapcode Mir is a GPU-based plug-in. It requires an Nvidia or AMD GPU that supports OpenGL 2.1 and has 512MB VRAM. It may work on lesser cards, for example a 256MB card may render SD comps, but crash on HD comps. Intel GPU's are currently not supported. We recommend a recent Ndvida/AMD GPU with 1024MB VRAM.

Other product fixes included in the Trapcode Suite 12 update (these are of course free updates):

• Form and Particular  – fixes the issue of CS6 not updating sprite textures, layer emitters, and layer maps correctly when editing an input layer.
• Lux 1.3.0 -  adds dither for 8 and 16 bit  (smoother gradients Lighting)
• Echospace – fixes a bug with Layer Delay.

Trapcode Suite 12 ships with two Guru Packs by David Vinson for Shine and Particular, giving you 105 bonus presets for broadcast-ready design.

Director David Viau Notes:

"There was a tremendous amount of 2d effects and compositing in 'Preguntas Hermosas' that contributed to the magical and stylized realism of the environments. Trapcode products definitely played a key role in the production and were a go-to resource. From the woman breaking apart into butterflies to minute details of atmospheric enhancement, the Trapcode Suite was intrical to bringing drama to the love story."
