Digieffects launched Damage, the first new product from Digieffects in four years. Damage is the first and only plugin to simulate analog and digital defects in video footage and supports Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Autodesk Combustion and Boris RED.

	Damage Digieffects Damage harnesses the destructive power of lame rabbit ears, bad BNC cables, tree branch-obstructed satellite dishes, poorly tracking VHS machines, scratched DVDs, low fidelity security cameras, micro-datarate cel phones...the list goes on. Digieffects Damage contains four plugins: Blockade: Video acquired by low fidelity devices like cellular phones and PDAs is becoming more commonplace. Blockade makes your clip look like it is highly compressed and being transmitted through a very bandwidth-limited pipe. Areas of subtle color subsample aliasing blocks blending with frame stuttering mimic low data rate rate video acquisition devices. Essential for simulating internet based micro cam display or personal video communication. Artifact: Developed to create digital defects, Artifact simulates lost DCT blocks and frame dropping, most often seen when a digital video file suffers from corruption or a satellite feed is hampered by weather. If you've ever experienced these kinds of defects, you'll instantly recognize them. Make sure you warn clients and your house engineer that it's only an effect... Interference: If it's television you want, traditionally you'll need some sort of interlaced field scanning to achieve that sense of “broadcast video.” Interference creates the look of interlaced video fields, even on progressive footage or still images, adding noise, colorization and offset separately for each field. Interference will make any footage superimposed on CRTs in your scenes instantly more credible. Skew: This effect was named after a VTR control of the same name and for those of you who know what control that is, be careful about acknowledging it, as you may be dating yourself. The never-ending quest to aim the rabbit ears so that the television show looks as good once you're in your chair as it did when your hands were attached to the antenna is fast fading into the lore of old... That valuable (if under-appreciated) look is preserved in Skew. Uniquely analog/broadcast image badness like noise, image shearing, ghosts... it's all there. The DTV revolution would eliminate these sorts of problems...thank goodness we were here to save them!
	Delirium Delirium contains over 39 special effects plug-ins. It also contains tools for creating particle-based fire, smoke and bubbles. These particle effects enhanced with built-in turbulence processing to create realistic imagery without resorting to complex 3D programs. Many of the plug-ins AutoAnimate™, meaning that many of the plug-ins will begin to animate as soon as they are applied to an image, meaning you no longer have to tweak parameters to get quick results. All plug-ins can save, load and modify presets. No need to navigate to find a preset - just click the pop-up! Each plug-in has several presets to get you started quickly.FireWorks creates amazing pyrotechnic displays automatically – it’s an AutoAnimate plug-in. It can create spectacular spherical explosions complete with sparkly trails quickly and easily.
	Aurorix While After Effects users have demonstrated that the program is capable of creating almost anything, they are often limited by the source footage they have. Aurorix provides some interesting texture and pattern generation filters such as Soap Film and Strange Nebulae. Unique distortion filters such as Infinity Warp and Turbulent Flow can use existing footage to make original patterns as well. Aurorix also comes with some tools for simulating lighting, including the 3D Lighting filter that can also add bump maps for an embossed look. Finally, Aurorix includes Aged Film, the filter for adding grain, hair, dust, and discoloration to footage, which eventually went on to spawn DigiEffects popular Cinelook.
	Berserk A pack of 20 award-winning special effects plug-ins including StarField, FogBank, VanGoughist and Laser. Berserk is an awesome set of incredibly useful and creative After Effects tools.
