What are 5D Monsters for Avid|DS?
5D Monsters for Avid|DS are a range of time saving visual effects plug-ins that are available as individual boxed sets or as a complete bundle. They are fully integrated and will enhance any film, video or animation project.5D Monsters are recognised as the ultimate plug-ins for motion graphics and visual effects. They offer a fast, flexible, and affordable range of additional effects to your AVID|DS enabling you to develop your creative ideas with the speed and control you demand, delivering high-quality results for film and video.
Creative Freedom and Tight Integration
Increase the power of your Avid|DS system by adding plug-ins that allow the creation of both subtle and complex effects. 5D Monster plug-ins have many control parameters that can be adjusted and animated for an unlimited range of effects.
5D Monsters take special advantage of AVID|DS advanced SDK, offering unparalleled creative freedom, and superior integration. 5D Monsters now have new and improved features that will increase your productivity and creative control when using AVID|DS. 5D’s Monster range of effects gives you design options that simply aren't available with other motion-graphics plug-ins, and offer multi-processing as standard.
5D Monsters are for use with AVID|DS v2.1 or later, installation is simple, and our user interface is very easy to use. Over 150 image-processing effects allow you to start making sophisticated graphics from the moment you install. 5D Monsters for AVID|DS operate on the range of Windows NT workstations supported by AVID|DS.
Industry-Leading Effects
5D Monsters are also available with 5D Masher for Quantel, Avid Media Illusion, Discreet Logic Flame, Inferno, Fire, Smoke, Effect, Digital Fusion, JaleoO2 and JaleoOctane. Because 5D Monsters are available for this range of platforms you can be sure even when sharing media production between multiple suites or different post facilities, 5D Monsters will be available.
