In keeping with the habit of providing the most valuable FREE content and tools for After Effects on the net, we are making one of our favorite free presets even better! Sure Target, our fast, easy-to-use Camera animation tool is easier and more powerful with Version 2.
Version 2.0 features easy 1-click rigging and un-rigging, so you don't have to remember technical details for setting it up in a pinch so you can concentrate on the design of your project. It even makes the layer 3D so you don't forget! We have also included improved organic movement control as the camera moves through 3D space. Expect the update soon!
OPTICAL FLARES UPDATE:
Our upcoming product for creating next-generation 3D lens flares, Optical Flares is nearly completed, however I see an opportunity to make it even better with a little more time.
Optical Flares is capable of building amazing 3D lens flare presets with precise and realistic qualities. Now imagine the power of a free network where customers could upload and share these amazing presets online?
The Video Copilot Preset Network is a perfect solution to continue the spirit of the website of sharing and contributing knowledge and presets, as well as enhancing the value of the product. This will also allow the style of lens flares to evolve beyond the built-in presets as artists develop them.
With this in mind, we have decided to wait about a month to give us time to incorporate this preset network and improve the built-in preset browser to allow multiple collections to be loaded at once. This is an exciting new endeavor and we know customers will benefit even more from this amazing software plug-in.
New MacOS Catalina Support
Install latest version of Mac plug-in!
Good news! We updated our VC Reflect plug-in to work with PPC Macs. If you were having trouble loading the plug-in on your MAC with AE7 or a G5 processor, try the latest build 14 and see if that works for ya!
Check out the tutorial and download the project with the plugin.

BTW: Optical Flares is making big progress, expect more news next week. Look, Optical Flares is just an awesome, fun plug-in... I'm very excited and can't wait to show you more!
In this tutorial we will take a look at our brand new free reflection plug-in that allows you to create great looking 2D reflections. We will examine a few examples and customize the reflection with a few easy steps.
Watch Tutorial Download the project to get plug-in!
NOTE: We recently migrated to a new server so we are working on balancing the load. Things should be in better shape later today. Thanks!
We have developed a fancy new plug-in for After Effects that simplifies the creation of 2D reflections as seen one of our early tutorials. The plug-in offers many helpful new features and a tutorial will be out soon. The best part of all, you get it absolutely FREE.
Patrick should be posting the tutorial sometime tomorrow and the project file will include the Plug-in. Should work with AE 7 and newer and when 64 bit After Effects comes around, we'll port it as well.
NOTE: Our Easy-Reflect preset will most likely be retired since it lacks many features and relies on awkward recipe. Look, we had some fun... but I think it's time we see other people. We'll still be friends.
ALSO: QuickMatte, my other pet project, will be out when I have time to explain how to use it fully. I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to it with so many projects going on but I will tell you that, everything the plug-in does can be done in AE, it just makes things easier. It will be out soon, I was planning on releasing after the 100th tutorial sometime.
