Red lets you import still images and movies, but it goes much further, allowing you to create layers that contain text, colored gradients, EPS artwork, 3-D shapes, and procedurally generated textures, so you don’t have to create these things in a separate application.

When you create a new layer, you specify the type of media that layer will contain. Via this interface, you reap the benefit of Red’s complex controls and dedicated animation environment, as well as seamless integration between your motion-graphics program and your NLE.Īs with all compositing programs, you define composites by stacking layers on top of one another - with Red, this happens in the Composition window.


Most plug-ins integrate with a host application’s standard interface, but this isn’t the case with Red, whose four tiled windows and custom menus cover your screen.
