It seems the belt has tightened a little for Red Giant as Universe 2 is now $99 a year, $20 a month or a 14-day free trial. In the beginning Universe allowed for lifetime, annual and free memberships. If I didn’t have plug-ins like Imagineer’s Mocha Pro, Boris’s Continuum Complete, GenArt’s Sapphire and Red Giant’s Universe 2, I would be forced to turn down work because the time it would take to create a finished piece would outweigh the fee I would be able to charge a client.Ī while back, I reviewed Red Giant’s Universe when it was in version 1, (check it out here). Plug-ins play a gigantic part in balancing my workload, available time and the quality of the final product. Unfortunately, for some people it is the nature of the post beast to know everything. Personally, I love doing more than just editing, so knowing tools like Adobe After Effects and DaVinci Resolve, in addition to Avid Media Composer, has really helped me become not only an editor but someone who can jump into After Effects or Resolve and do good work. Editors are now being tasked as final audio mixers, final motion graphics creators, final colorists and much more. We’ve also seen a tremendous consolidation of jobs.
Throughout 2016, we have seen some interesting acquisitions in the world of post production software and hardware - Razer bought THX, Blackmagic bought Ultimatte and Fairlight and Boris FX bought GenArts, to name a few.
