Hi everyone,
It was nice to exchange a few emails with Brian,
it is rather rare that a user buys both the alpha transition and the plugin version of the same fx (in this case Light Leaks) and that is what happened this time.
We understand then where Brian comes from.
We developed a plugin solution for fx like film burns after receiving countless requests.
Many users wanted a set of parameters to customize the effect rather than having to apply filters etc.
We developed some of the film fx such as Light Leaks and film leaders
in the form of generators (with enough controls to customize stylization and geometry) to still allow the user to add filters, speed changes and more. These have become incredibly popular since their release.
The best solution for every single user is to download the trial version before buying. It is the best way to know whether the plugin is
what you are looking for.
Many thanks Brian for your words and for giving us the opportunity to discuss and clarify the matter.
We are all ears if anyone has a question or even a plugin or feature request,
Best,
Luca
