If you’ve been wanting to upgrade your AE plugins and effects with some great tools like Trapcode Particular 2 or Lux, Red Giant software is having a big one day sale. 40% off all products… so definitely a good day to upgrade your plugins! No word on whether the CS5 versions will cost any additional (because of the 64-bitness announced by Adobe… which will require plugin makers to update their stuff).

Aharon Rabinowitz and Red Giant Software have announced a pretty sweet looking add-on called Holomatrix (which is actually a combination of Filter, Expressions and other code rolled up into one AE panel) that allows you to create holographic effects and ghostly effects, particularly for human subjects that have been pre-keyed and placed in other environments. Think Princess Lea streaming out of R2D2′s little camera gizmo, only applied to your AE layers! There are a pretty huge array of parameters the effect filter can use on your footage, and everything is presented nicely inside the Effect Controls panel.
