Plug-In Post Q+A: Tradcode’s Peder Norrby
Michele Yamazaki, Peder Norrby and Ko Maruyama (and Jim G. hiding in the back)
Studio Daily interviews Peder Norrby, Trapcode’s founder and developer. Read the interview here.
Peder says, “There is also a business-perspective: our goal is for our customers to wow their clients and make more money using the products than the cost of the products themselves, so it is turns out to be a very good investment for them. Good investments are always popular, and news of them tend to spread.” So, that’s his secret!

New Free Trapcode Tutorial from John Dickinson
John Dickinson shows you how to use Trapcode Starglow and Shine in Final Cut Pro. He shows you some tricks about managing presets in Final Cut Pro.
Learn more about Trapcode Starglow and Trapcode Shine in our Plug-in Finder. These are multi-installer plug-ins meaning that you get the AE, Premiere Pro, FCP, Motion and Avid installers and your serial number works in all of them. How cool is that!
Light Streak around Mask
I have no idea what to call this project, but it uses a star-shaped mask and a streak of light draws around the star, sort of like a comet. I used Vegas to create the line, with one segment. I duplicated that layer and made it a very short segment on the top layer. I boosted the light and added a blur. I also added an adjustment layer with Trapcode Starglow and Colorama to give it some pizazz, not to mention a camera for a bit of movement.

There is one texture associate with the file, which is included. The glints are made with Trapcode Starglow.
Everything other than the text layer is switched over to “shy”. So, if you want to see the other layers, turn off the comp shy switch.
