Because I don’t get a lot of time to play around creatively, I really need to know the suite I am working in and be as efficient as possible. Of course, you can pick and choose the product you want, such as Shine for $99 or even Particular for $399, but the entire suite is worth the investment.Īs an editor, I spend the majority of my time inside of a nonlinear editor like Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer/Symphony - probably 80 percent if I had to estimate, the other 20 percent is divided between color correction solutions and VFX/graphics packages like After Effects, Blackmagic Resolve, and others. It is one of the most useful but intricate plug-ins you will see with a $999 price tag to match ($199 if you are upgrading).
