OK, OK, enough already! Ever since I posted that Vortex Transition on my site, you haven’t stopped asking about it.  So…

Red Giant TV – Episode 23: Peel-Away Vortex Transition

In this episode of Red Giant TV, I’ll show you how to create an insanely cool transition for text and other elements. This tutorial builds on RGTV Episode 21, where I covered a text-to-sand transition, so make sure to check it out.

You can watch the episode here.

And of course, just for watching, we’ll give you a discount on Trapcode Form and Knoll light factory. You can get that discount here.

That’s right. Part 2 is finally here!

And in it, we’re using Trapcode Shine and Magic Bullet Looks. You can always download trial versions to work along with me, but we’re also giving you a 30% discount on both products if you want to buy one or both.

The trailer he’s referring to is, unfortunately, gone. (more…)
