Red Giant Software today released updates to its Trapcode Shine, Starglow, and 3D Stroke plug-ins that work with Final Cut Pro, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Avid AVX. The updates add support for full 32-bit floating-point rendering to generate light rays, glows, and animated lines with the highest quality output. 3D Stroke features a series of 40 preset shapes for generating outlines or swirling strokes, The update includes the Shine 1.5, Starglow 1.5, and 3D Stroke 2.5 plug-ins.

Trapcode 3D Stroke 2.5 lets users dynamically write on a logo in 3D space or create organic and fluid lines. Trapcode Shine, Starglow, and 3D Stroke are priced at $100 each, but current Trapcode After Effects users can upgrade for $50 per plug-in or $100 for all three.
