What's New
Red Giant 2025 supercharges your creative workflow with powerful new features across the entire suite, offering expanded capabilities for both Red Giant and Universe users. The new Geo feature introduces fresh possibilities for 3D motion design, while UI improvements in the Particular Designer enhance usability.
