What’s New

  • Maxon Studio Plugin Page - We are very excited to add the Plugin Page to the Maxon Studio panel within After Effects. Now you can view all of the Red Giant (and Universe) plugins in one place. You can search for the plugin you want and view their presets all within studio finding the effect you need has never been easier. You are even able to apply presets directly into your Project for products with their own stand alone designers such as Looks and Particular.
  • Red Giant and Universe Together!  You might have noticed over the last year we have been consolidating our various Red Giant installers into one single place. With this release we have brought the Universe installer and all its dependent files into the Red giant installer now as well! Whether you are an Maxon One, Red Giant, or Universe Subscriber you can get the updates for all the great plugins you love to use in one spot now! No longer do you have to worry about some old outdated installer overwriting something that makes the other newer plugins work.
