ToolTrim review of Red Giant: independent analysis of features, pricing (€53/month) and real value for freelancers and solopreneurs. Top strength: Reference suites in one bundle: Trapcode (particles), Magic Bullet (cinematic look), VFX, Universe. Verdict : Worth it if you use several Red Giant suites day to day in After Effects. For grading only, DaVinci Resolve is enough; for a few transitions, Universe alone is enough.
