Falloff Lighting

November 3, 2009

"When you apply a light to a scene in After Effects, all objects in the scene will be evenly lit. Even if one object is closer to the light source than another, there won‘t be a difference. Digieffects‘ Falloff Lighting fixes this."
Erik Vlietinck, IT Enquirer

Camera Mapper

Sept 10, 2009

"It took a while for me to fully grasp Camera Mapper's capabilities --I'd never before created camera projections in After Effects. The main obstacle to me was that I had to forget about a limitation that only existed inside my head: you can actually apply Camera Mapper to the same source image multiple times and still get very different results by applying different masks to the original image. "

FreeForm AE

June 9, 2009

"What [FreeForm AE] does looks extremely complex, and produces results that you would normally see only come from a 3D program, but on the flip side, it’s VERY simple to use, and you will be wowing your clients with your new 3D capabilities in no time!"
Kevin McAuliffe - Audio Video Producer

" Digieffects latest plug-in, Freeform AE, aims to bolster After Effect’s 3D toolset, allowing you to warp layers in 3D in a way that’s just not possible using the core application. It combines a 3D version of After Effect’s own Mesh Warp tool with the ability to distort layers in 3D using an image as a displacement map, creating a cohesive whole that many motion graphics artists will love."

Damage

June 1, 2009

"Digieffects’ motto for their Damage plugin is ‘You have great footage. We can fix that.’ And indeed, they certainly can."

June 1, 2008

"Hands down, these guys have done their homework, which directly translates into making your life easier. Not only have they made real-world types of interference with an easy-to-use interface, but they’ve also made it easy to reuse - and sometimes that’s even more valuable."

"Damage is a must-have for any animator or editor! These are not redundant effects overlapping things done in other packages I own, they are unique and versatile tools for manipulating and yes, damaging imagery unlike any other tool I have come across. Add to that, that these are, for the most part, FASTER than realtime and I'm in love. For $99 its a steal. Digieffects, under new ownership, has set the bar high. I'm excited to see what else they deliver us in the future."

Simulate: Camera

March 2009

"As with all Digieffects packages, one of the amazing things is the amount of control you have over every element of the plugin. Camera saves me tons of tedious keyframing and adjusting, getting a natural look in seconds. When you want a look, you want it fast. Camera delivers at a price that just can’t be beat."
Adam Oas, Director of Video Production, Texas Motor Speedway

March 2009

" With Simulate: Camera, Digieffects has yet again made it easier for editors and effects designers to do what it takes to survive in our increasingly competitive industry - accomplish in minutes what would otherwise take hours and have the results look even better! A valuable bonus is that the folks at Digieffects are genuinely customer focused and not only actively seek customer feedback, but actually act upon it something I’ve found to be rare these days." Dave Johnson, Raymond James Financial

Simulate: Illuma

October 1, 2008

"Once again, as in the Damage plug, the Digieffects team proves that they know what the picky professionals want and need, even if they don’t know it until they try the plug-in. Illuma provides finessing controls that accommodate a significantly broader range of what-if’s and allows for the creation of nuanced looks that is difficult to achieve with other tool sets."

"Playing with the quality of light in video post-production, that's what you can do with Simulate Illuma from Digieffects. You can get dramatic effects with this plug-in set, but also subtle enhancements of already perfect footage."

Delirium

June 2, 2009

"For those looking to drop a variety of easy to use effects quickly in their video timeline, and particularly for those producing music videos, or effects-driven science-fiction oriented video productions, [Delirium, Aurorix, and Berserk] will be well-received modules indeed."
Ed Driscoll - Blog Critics

September 9, 2002

"The plug-in set covers a broad range of effects from camera-angle simulations to psychedelic lighting effects, but the highlight of the package almost certainly is the particle effects. Even if you are an AE novice, this set of plug-ins can really add that extra sugar to your eye candy....Depending on your rates, you might be able to get Delirium to pay for itself with just one 10-second corporate logo or it may be just what you need to make a client gasp and clinch a contract."
Videomaker's Eric Frank reviews Delirium.

"Delirium is so easy to use, you can get realistic finished results without even opening the manual."  "Unlike some sets of plug-ins, Delirium includes many effects that are actually useful and can add genuine sizzle to everyday projects."
Christine Saucier - AV Video Multimedia Producer

 

Berserk

August 1997

"One of my favorites is the Blizzard effects. Which uses a particle system to create a realistic snow effect"
Kennedy Gray
