Whois & Analysis for redgiant.com

Founded in 2002, Red Giant is a software company made up of artists and technologists who collaborate on the creation of unique software tools for filmmakers, editors, visual effects artists, and motion designers.

Red Giant software tools are primarily plug-ins for video host applications, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, and Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Sony Vegas and more.

Over the last decade, Red Giant’s products (such as Magic Bullet Suite and Trapcode Suite) have become the standard in film and broadcast post-production.

Compositing is the combining of visual elements from separate sources into single images, often to create the illusion that all those elements are parts of the same scene.

Live-action shooting for compositing is variously called "chroma key", "blue screen", "green screen" and other names.

Today, most, though not all, compositing is achieved through digital image manipulation.

Pre-digital compositing techniques, however, go back as far as the trick films of Georges Méliès in the late 19th century; and some are still in use.

In filmmaking, visual effects (abbreviated VFX) are the processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shot.

Color grading is the process of altering and enhancing the color of a motion picture, video image, or still image either electronically, photo-chemically or digitally.

Color grading encompasses both color correction and the generation of artistic color effects.

Whether for theatrical film, video distribution, or print, color grading is generally now performed digitally in a color suite.

The earlier photo-chemical film process, known as color timing, was performed at a photographic laboratory.

Motion graphics are pieces of digital footage or animation which create the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects.

Motion graphics are usually displayed via electronic media technology, but may also be displayed via manual powered technology (e.g. thaumatrope, phenakistoscope, stroboscope, zoetrope, praxinoscope, flip book).

The term distinguishes still graphics from those with a transforming appearance over time, without over-specifying the form.

While any form of experimental or abstract animation can be called motion graphics, the term typically more explicitly refers to the commercial application of animation and effects to video, film and TV.
