FilmTouch 2.0 Film Looks Effects Plugins Released by Pixelan

BELLINGHAM, Wash. - Sept. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- Pixelan Software, celebrating its 17th year as a popular developer of video effects plugins, released today its FilmTouch 2 hardware-accelerated film looks effects plugins for Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Elements, Adobe After Effects, Sony Vegas Pro, and Sony Vegas Movie Studio. Additionally, a graphics version is available to Adobe Photoshop users.

FilmTouch 2 plugins provide hundreds of fresh film looks that give videos and digital films greater emotional impact. Available in a $29 version with 200+ adjustable presets and a $49 Pro version with 500+ fully-adjustable presets, both versions provide fast GPU hardware acceleration and a large visual Effects Browser which makes comparing and choosing film looks very easy.

The Pro version includes additional film-look optimized controls and exclusive features not found in any other film looks plugins. For example, its powerful but easy scene-based (not geometric) masking allows users to apply a film look but leave untouched an already “just right” color, color range, or luminance area -- such as someone’s face, a car or other subject, the sky, a logo's color, etc. Professional diffusion and vignette controls add further customization to any FilmTouch 2 Pro preset.

Importantly to video editors on a deadline with their production, FilmTouch's GPU hardware-acceleration utilizes the user's video card to ensure speedy previewing and rendering. On faster video editing systems, the plugin approaches real-time performance.

Michael Feerer, Founder and President of Pixelan, says "With FilmTouch 2, users gain a fast new affordable plugin that emphasizes attractive, useable filmic treatments for a wide range of video clips, not just the typical classic film looks. Both the regular and Pro versions are priced to be within virtually everyone's budget, and exceed what’s provided in competing film look plugins that cost much more -- in some cases hundreds of dollars more."

Detailed information, cool movie examples, tutorials, and a demo version are all available at http://www.pixelan.com/filmtouch/intro.htm  The FilmTouch 2 Pro plugin price is $49 and the regular version is only $29. FilmTouch 2 Pro (graphics version) for Adobe Photoshop is $39. Both are available now for purchase directly from http://www.pixelan.com
