Trapcode Lux 1 Plug-In by Red Giant is an electronic download of a plug-in that adds volumetric lighting effects to your footage. This is a volume license, requiring a minimum purchase of 12 units. You can mix and match activations between Mac and Windows, and the plug-in can reside on a network. The plug-in supports both Windows and Mac platforms, working only with select versions After Effects.
Lux adds realistic 3D lighting effects to footage to increase realism or for dramatic effect. Lux will automatically create a visible source for all point source and spotlights within a shot. You can manage the look of the light beam, controlling settings such as intensity, fall off, and travel. The created light beam co-exists with the built in lights of After Effects. Rendering is handled entirely by the CPU, so there are no GPU requirements for your system to meet. Lux now supports 32-bit color processing, for an artifact free effect. It also supports 64-bit operating systems for significant speed improvements over 32-bit operating systems.
