What's New
Red Giant 2026.5 allows for more creative control and smoother workflows while delivering enhanced performance. Real Lens Flares is now more responsive and intuitive than ever, with an interactive zoom slider that lets you dial in your look visually. Support for aspherical lenses and 44 new lens presets makes it easier to match real world lenses or achieve a specific cinematic feel.
Trapcode Particular now starts faster and can be adjusted to your production needs, thanks to a new preference to choose the maximum number of particle systems it loads with. Set it to the right number and say goodbye to long load times when working with simple setups, or prioritize complexity when the project demands it.
Real Lens Flares interactive zoom
The new interactive zoom lets your flares evolve with your focal length, adding a new level of realism to moving shots.
