Every effects application offers appealing features. The real question is, are the features accessible where you need them? Other applications talk about their integration with NLE software, but they don't mean what we do when we talk about RED's unparalleled power for integrated effects creation: its availability directly inside your editing application. No other effects application offers the range of options RED does, where RED does.

By integrating advanced 2D and 3D compositing, sophisticated titling, a full suite of vector tools (including paint, rotoscoping, and tools to create and extrude vector objects), robust 3D modeling and animation, and the industry-leading software DVE technology in a single application, you need learn only one interface to accomplish a wide range of special effects.

As a result, you save time, by learning only one interface to accomplish all these tasks. You save money, because you don't need to buy an illustration program, a 3D application, specialized titling software, and a compositing application that requires additional plug-ins to perform tasks that RED 2.5 handles natively.

Using Boris RED 2.5.0 inside your editing application avoids the challenges and potential frustrations of exporting media from your editing application, through other external applications, only to return the finished effects back to your editing application. This is equally true when using RED inside such compositing applications as After Effects: RED provides a wide range of effects that other compositing applications do not, such as vector animation and 3D extrusion and animation.

RED thus allows you to avoid workflows that cost significantly more, and reduces time that would be spent learning additional interfaces. RED offers a crucial advantage: using all these tools in one place, inside your NLE, in a single application.
