In this episode, Chief Engineer Eran Stern works furiously to get his Starship’s transporters back on-line to rescue a fellow crew member trapped on a hostile planet. But time is running out. Will Eran be able to build the transporter in After Effects before it’s too late?

You can watch the episode here.

And, as usual, you can get a discount on Trapcode Particular, Knoll Light Factory, Key Correct Pro, and Magic Bullet Looks, but going here.

In honor of Star Trek (of which I am a huge fan), I’m also offering a discount on my own product, Crowd Control: Pre-Keyed Alpha Stock Footage. Use the code “startrek” for the next seven days, and get 50% off the cost of Crowd Control credits.

 

Tutorial Commenting is Off-line (sort of)

Just an FYI for anyone who has tried to comment on the tutorials in the last few weeks. We have been hit with an incredible amount of spam, and are doing our best to clean it up so we can post your comments. Rest assured they are going into the queue, but it may be a little while before they are posted.

 

If you have it… show it.

Hey everyone,

My name is John Kerr, I wear quite a few hats here at Red Giant Software, and one of my absolute favorites is interacting with our customers.  For this reason I have launched Twitter and Facebook pages to give our users multiple ways to communicate with us.  I especially like to see what people are doing specifically with our plug-ins, and generally within the community itself.

Since Red Giant Software is part of a larger eco-system of software and users, I am going to start posting some of the cool stuff being shown, uploaded, and talked about on the web within our industry.  If you have any specific stuff you want me to show, link to, or talk about, shoot me a Twitter @RedGiantTweet.
