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.
The new interactive zoom lets your flares evolve with your focal length, adding a new level of realism to moving shots. Unlike the previous static assortment of focal length presets, you can now animate your lens flare over time to adjust to any focal length, allowing for more flexibility and control.
Real Lens Flares can now support more types of lenses than before, making it easier for you to mimic the look of what people are shooting with in the real world. Numerous new presets allow you to directly match your flare with real-world lenses.
The number of available systems in Particular directly impacts its loading times. With this new option in Particular’s preferences, you can adjust the maximum number of systems Particular loads with to 2, 4, 8, or 16 systems.
