    About

    In practice. What you can do with Trapcode Mir.

    Trapcode Mir is a Red Giant postproduction plugin. Its purpose: create procedural surfaces, tunnels and terrain in After Effects.

    Compare the result with functions already available in your host. Judge control over a real shot rather than the number of available presets.

    Access is through Red Giant, also included in Maxon One. This is not a standalone purchase priced at the cost of the suite. Check the plugin against your exact host version. Archive source material and a final render rather than relying only on a plugin-dependent project.
