Plugins question….

[Steven L. gotz]

I don’t own any plugins. I suppose I might eventually find a need for something like the Trapcode Light pack. https://www.pluginz.com/product/11206

Or, perhaps Twixtor for slow motion. https://www.revisionfx.com/rstwixtor.htm

But, so far, if I can not do it woth After Effects Pro, I don’t really need it.

These are not all plug-ins, some are stand alone programs, but IMO for me these are the most useful ones for video editing:

1. Minnetonka Surcode 5.1 AC3 encoder
2. Pixelan SpiceMaster 2.5
3. FreedomFx Animattes
4. BorisFX and Graffiti
5. Magic Bullet Movie Looks
6. Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse
7. Serious Magic Ultra2 and DVRack
8. Canopus Imaginate
9. Canopus Procoder Express
10. HollywoodFX
11. Scenalyzer
12. Pixelpops PixelMixer
13. Sonicfire Pro 4/SmartSound

There are many more but this list may give you an inkling of what is available. I have probably overseen many others, due to lack of expertise.

This could be an interesting thread…..

And if you do own After Effects a good amount of them can also be used in premiere by simply copying them to the plugin folder.

and using After Effect will be a lot more rewarding than spending twice as much money to make it happen in Premiere.

I’d say, if you shoot in the field, do buy DV Rack, that’s saved me a ton of time countlessly. Other than that, I’d wait until you see a project that requires any of the others.

[Vincent Becquiot] “And if you do own After Effects a good amount of them can also be used in premiere by simply copying them to the plugin folder.”

Just to add onto this particular tip:
A lot of the cycore plugins, such as the rain filter can be used and installed in Premiere Pro.

Just a thought here. As you do your editing you will find that the most common things used are a stright cut or dissolve !
